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.

Hobbies

Outside of academics, I’m passionate about community engagement, climate justice, and the arts. I’ve been involved in youth-led activism for several years and served as Communications Lead for a collective that challenged fossil fuel misinformation through creative public outreach. I also love storytelling in all its forms—whether through writing, theatre, or music. I’ve directed plays, sung with the Vancouver Opera Children’s Chorus, and trained in vocal performance. On the weekends, you’ll often find me hiking, skiing, or camping—activities that reflect my love for the outdoors and collaborative learning. These experiences shape my approach as a tutor: creative, grounded, and always curious.
