I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Kathryn: Harvey tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a 2nd year student at Columbia University in New York, currently studying at Trinity College in Dublin through their Dual BA program. I am studying a STEM major, Earth Sciences, with a specialization in chemistry. I am familiar with working with students from a variety of backgrounds; I volunteered teaching primary school subjects to children from Somalia in a local housing community and last summer I taught a diverse set of students with differing English skills about environmental science. Besides having a background in STEM, I also have a personal passion for literature, English, and editing. I've refined my skills as a science staff writer for our University newspaper. Although I don't believe in standardized tests as a measure of knowledge, I understand how important doing well on them can be and am ready to help get you to the level you need. I am most experienced with the ACT, taking it three times, once when I was 14 as an end of year exam and twice more as a Junior. I am ready to improve your scores in all the sections, but particularly in English, Reading and Science.

Outside of academics, I love all things outdoors and in my free time love to go climbing with friends, hike, read, and explore new places! I love trying new activities no matter how bad I am and believe an integral part to learning is being okay with failing despite fear.
