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.

Sylvia: Essex County tutor

Certified Tutor

First, a little about myself. I grew up on a family farm in rural Illinois surrounded by sisters, goats, and my beloved books. On a whim, I moved to Colorado for college and have continued to pursue my passion for literature in classes, libraries, and, most recently, non-profits.

As a tutor, I aim to provide support and knowledge which enables students to apply to their dream colleges and reach beyond other's expectations. As a graduate of small, under-resourced public school, I wish to connect with students who need more support than their school can offer.
