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.

Alex: Suffolk County tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a 2015 graduate of Northwestern University with a dual degree in journalism and international studies. I work as a freelance journalist, and I've dedicated my career to reading and writing. I have a passion for the English language, and I'm always thinking about better ways to pack my thoughts into sentences and paragraphs. I have tutored English as a second language in Venezuela and Jordan, and I acutely understand the challenges and pitfalls of learning a new language. I'm also an Eagle Scout, and I love to go camping and backpacking for fun. Hablo Espaol.
