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.

Joel: Merrillville tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a recent graduate from UC Davis with a BA in English with an emphasis in Literary Theory & Criticism and also a minor in Education. During my high school and college career, I've been helping many people revise and write their essays and helping them to think critically about the books/texts they're reading for class.

I'm currently in the process of applying for MFA programs in Creative Writing and also MA programs in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing and hopefully getting a PhD afterwards in English Literature. I'm interested in early modern dramas, stage theory, gender & sexuality theory, and feminist theories.

I have experience in helping others write essays and proofreading for grammar and mechanical errors as well. Hopefully I'll be able to help someone get into English/Literature or just general essay writing and help them improve their analytical/writing/close-reading skills!
