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.

Laura

Certified Tutor

I am a currently practicing Emergency Room nurse, and have been in the DC area for going on 3 years. In addition to nursing, I also have degrees in biomedical science and humanistic studies, so I am able to tutor in english and writing as well as biology and physiology. Je parle francais aussi.

I have helped many people edit papers, from english to research proposals, and I enjoy helping people find their rhythm and voice. I also thrive on talking people through basic to difficult concepts in biomedical science and it's derivatives.

I am dynamic, interactive and approachable when I teach. I can switch gears or adjust my style to fit my student and what they need. I do believe everyone can improve their verbal skills and the life sciences are not pure memorization, so there is a chance for anyone to succeed given the right guidance.

In my free time, I love pursuing outdoor sports such as rock climbing and snowboarding. I am also very into traveling, cooking, and dancing.
