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.

Elyssa: Broken Arrow tutor

Certified Tutor

I have years of experience working with young people and adults, and I find great meaning in supporting my students to feel empowered to learn, connect to what they find personally engaging in the material, and ultimately experience success and mastery in their endeavors. I have a Bachelor's degree from Boston University in Communications, specializing in Film Theory, and I have a Master's Degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies in Counseling Psychology and Drama Therapy. I believe in continuing to learn and be open to challenges at any age, and I bring a spirit of humor, realness, passion and humility to the tutoring experience.

When I'm not tutoring, I'm working as a drama therapist, theatre artist, writer, and teacher. I love to read novels, play guitar and continue experimenting with recipes to one day concoct the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
