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.

Leah

Certified Tutor

I am a professor at UWM, teaching graduate level courses in Translation and Interpreting Studies. I have also taught high school students in Spanish at Concordia Language Villages, and taught undergraduate students Spanish as a TA from 2003 to 2010.

I want to tutor because I love face to face instruction. My current position has me teaching exclusively online, but my true passion is interacting with students personally. I like the ongoing, one on one nature of tutoring because it allows for the development of a relationship that fosters trust, respect and commitment.

I am a volunteer for Ex Fabula, which features live storytelling on stage; I've even won audience favorite as a teller myself! I love to walk on the Oak Leaf Trail, play board games with friends, read novels, play volleyball and translate literature. I work well with students who have ADHD, and am warm and engaging with children of all ages.

For students who are preparing for college or for graduate school, I can provide the inside scoop on what your professors are looking for--because I am one! I spend a good part of my time revising and evaluating student writing, and can provide valuable feedback for students from high school through graduate school.
