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.

Certified Tutor

I'm a passionate and versatile tutor with experience working with students across a wide range of ages and subjects. I specialize in English writing and reading comprehension, and I'm confident working with learners from kindergarten through the undergraduate college level. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Art History with a minor in Chemistry, which gives me a strong foundation in both the humanities and sciences. My academic background allows me to assist in subjects such as science and mathparticularly algebra, which has always been a strength of mine. In fact, I've received multiple math awards, including recognition up to College Algebra II. In addition to tutoring core academic subjects, I'm also highly skilled in research. I recently had the opportunity to present my own work at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, and I enjoy helping students develop their research and writing skills for papers and projects.
