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.

Zakia

Certified Tutor

I graduated college with a Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Juvenile Justice. Over the years, I've discovered a profound passion for tutoring elementary students in math, reading & science. My passion stemmed at an early age grading papers & tutoring students for my nana who was an elementary school teacher for more than 35 years. My senior year in a high school I worked with the Boys & Girls Club tutoring kids in Kinder through 4th grade in Math, Reading & Science. Once in college I obtained a work study position with the America Reads program tutoring youth in the community schools who needed further assistance. Now I am tutoring kids all over the world!

I believe learning should be an adventure, and I thrive on creating engaging and effective learning experiences that cater to each child's unique needs. My approach extends beyond simply providing answers; I aim to build a solid foundation of understanding, enrich their learning opportunities, foster a love of learning through fun and interactive methods, and empower them with the confidence to tackle any challenge.

My goal is to ignite a passion for math, reading & science that will propel them towards academic success and a lifelong love of learning.
