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

As a passionate tutor pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Government & Law from Lafayette College. I am dedicated to helping students realize their growth potential through a positive and reassuring teaching style. With experience tutoring middle school level math and English Language Arts, I strive to create a supportive learning environment tailored to each student's interests and strengths. My approach focuses on fostering a reciprocal relationship, ensuring students feel valued and engaged in their learning journey. I believe in the importance of tracking progress, celebrating achievements, and addressing challenges collaboratively. Outside of tutoring, my volunteer work at Ascension Middle School deepened my understanding of diverse educational needs. I am excited to inspire students, cultivate their critical thinking skills, and help them navigate their academic paths with confidence.
