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.

Jacob: Villa Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Lafayette College (with a major in Spanish and French) and am currently a graduate student at the SUNY College of Old Westbury seeking a Masters in the Art of Teaching for Adolescent Spanish.
Needless to say, being involved in all aspects of the learning process is important to me. While at Lafayette College, I realized how much I enjoyed leading meetings with the on-campus Spanish Speakers club—a club for which I served as president for the duration of my final year.
I am joining Varsity to aid students that may benefit from having additional attention paid to their individual needs.
I am here to share my passion for language and to help students feel more confident in their work and themselves whether for practice, remedial work, or for a specific test.

In my free time, I enjoy swimming and staying healthy. I play the acoustic guitar and study language. My dream is to one day, somehow, read all the books on my to-read list!
