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.

Melissa

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Nova Southeastern University earning a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science in 2011.
I enjoy teaching a wide array of subjects, however Biology, Science, Geography, Writing, and Spanish are my strongest subjects. I am originally from Bogota, Colombia but moved to Florida during my early teens, which allowed me to master both languages. I am able to teach all levels of Spanish as well as AP Spanish Language and Literature.
I like to get to know my students to understand which style of teaching they are the most receptive to. I believe that learning should not feel like a chore and my goal is to turn problem areas into subjects that the students feel comfortable with and even learn to love.
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, snorkeling, reading, and CrossFit. I also love traveling and I do it as often as possible. I hope to travel through South East Asia in the near future!
