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.

Certified Tutor

Hello! I am a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. For the last two years I have been working for a non-profit organization that specializes in the holistic mentorship of college students, and I am excited to see how the skills I gained there will transfer to my role as a Tutor. I possess a passion for knowledge and a gift for teaching that I can't wait to utilize to help you thrive in academia and reach your full potential as a student! This past year I had the honor of being published for a personal essay I wrote on my experience with mental health! In my free time I like to go hiking in Malibu, meet up with friends over coffee, peruse the Rose Bowl flea market, make muffins while listening to my weekly podcasts, and curl up on the couch with a good book. I hope to someday continue pursuing academia through earning my Masters in Education and Public Policy, but in the meantime it is my joy to keep my mind engaged and my intellect sharp through tutoring. I look forward to meeting you, and feel free to message me if you have any questions!
