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.

Minerva: Manhattan tutor

Certified Tutor

Teaching is my passion! I have been teaching for 27 years. I have taught from Kindergarten to adults. Currently, I teach Spanish to high school students. I have vast experience in teaching Spanish as a second language and English as a second language. My goal is to teach the best possible way in order to meet the needs of my students. I like to make my lessons interactive and fun. As a second language learner myself, I understand the process of second language acquisition. Therefore, I am able to identify my students' needs. Being able to lower frustration level is key to learning a language. I am very lucky to share my best practices with my students whom always tell me that they love the way I teach!
