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.

Sylvan

Certified Tutor

I have two years of experience working in formal education including day-to-day substituting in Brookline and long-term class coverage in Boston, as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students and helping them grow was amazing. I aim to build these types of relationships and connections with students on their paths' to success.
