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.

Alison: Des Plaines tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a sophomore studying psychology and neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. At Pitt, I spend a significant amount of my time studying and learning; I love learning and have since high school, and I love being able to share that knowledge with others.

Despite studying sciences, my favorite subject is actually English, and I love reading, writing, and grammar. I think writing is an important and beautiful skill, and I love helping people build their writing abilities.

When not in classes, I participate in some academic clubs at my college, am a part of a sorority, and volunteer to support the Children's Miracle Network. I really enjoy reading, running or yoga, and music.
