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.

Elyse

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of the Arts and Long Island University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Communications and , Masters in Education with a focus on teaching Adolescents with Disabilities. I have been working in NYC public, charter, and private middle and high schools for the past 9 years as a general education teacher, special education teacher, one-on-one tutor, and learning specialist. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my passion is working with students to improve their overall reading comprehension, fluency, and accuracy, as well as encourage a love of reading. Seeing the growth in confidence that my students experience (both in and out of the classroom) as a result of their academic achievements is what continues to inspire me in this career path. In my spare time, I teach and practice yoga, read, cook, go to museums and cultural institutions, and, spend as much time as I can outdoors.
