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.

I'm a deeply passionate language educator specializing in Portuguese language instruction and services, with 16 years of experience in language teaching (EFL, Portuguese and French). I lived and worked in Portugal and Brazil as a teacher and translator for 9 years, following which I returned to the U.S. to pursue a PhD in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown University and then taught Portuguese at Yale. Although I mainly research Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) Africa in my academic life, I have knowledge of and experience with all the main varieties of Portuguese and Lusophone cultures. It would be my pleasure to share my expertise with you!
