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.

Alison

Certified Tutor

I'm currently an undergraduate student at New York University, studying Global Liberal Studies with plans in pursuing law for graduate school. My tutoring experience ranges from helping younger students develop foundational reading and writing skills to guiding older students through the competitive International Baccalaureate (IB) program. I specialize in writing - particularly essays and creative writing - Mandarin, and pre-calculus. Writing holds a special place in my heart, especially after completing the IB program myself, where I gained a deep understanding of what examiners look for in analytical writing.

My teaching style is patient and supportive, and I aim to build confidence in my students, encouraging them to think critically. Outside of academics, I have a soft spot for winter sports, having grown up skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating.
