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 dedicated educator with a Doctorate in Political Science from the University of Chicago, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across a variety of subjects, including AP English Language and Composition, ESL/ELL and Government and Politics. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and develop critical thinking skills. I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals and thrive in their studies, whether through essay editing or creative writing. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring literature and engaging in community discussions, which further enrich my teaching practice. I look forward to guiding students on their educational journeys and celebrating their successes along the way.
