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.

Isa: Edinburgh tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello! My name is Isa and I attended Wellesley College where I studied Neuroscience and Chemistry. On my own MCAT, I scored a 516, placing me in the top 5% in the nation, including a top 2% score in the critical analysis (reading) section. On the ACT, I scored in the 95th percentile, with a Reading Comprehension score in the 97th percentile. I began teaching and tutoring in 2011, and have helped students in a number of different areas, including the MCAT sciences, SAT and ACT test prep, and even volleyball coaching. I spent two years in a Neuroscience PhD program before realizing that clinical medicine was the right path for me, and now I am a second year medical student at Boston University School of Medicine. I love tutoring because each student brings unique educational challenges and I especially enjoy helping students overcome those challenges to achieve their dreams. Outside of tutoring, I love singing, playing the guitar, and softball.
