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.

Julia: Leicester tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a teacher living in New Haven, Connecticut. I grew up in CT before going to Smith College where I studied European history and education. I spent my junior year abroad in Paris, France and fell in love with the city and its history so much that I moved there after college to get my master's degree from the Sorbonne in early modern French history. While I was there, I tutored students of all ages in English and I taught English conversation to French high school students. Then I joined Teach for America and moved back to the states, where I've taught ancient history to 5th graders for the last two years. I'm fluent in French and scored a C2 (highest level) on the Test de Connaissance du franais. I love tutoring test prep, history and French. In my free time, I like to hike, cook and ski.
