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! My regular work career is in the area of research & analytics in the nonprofit and public policy sector.

My expertise includes:

Data Analysis & Statistics - I have a graduate degree that included multiple statistics courses, and 6 years of work experience applying these concepts in professional settings.

Spanish - I was a Spanish and Political Science major in college. I have personally traveled to 7 different Hispanic countries, on 10 different occasions, including an extensive study abroad period in Argentina. I also took the AP Spanish exam in high school and earned a 4, and my Spanish has only improved since then!

Test Prep - I have done well in both the SAT test, and the GRE, so can assist anyone from high school students to potential graduate students. My overall SAT score was in the 95th percentile, including 98th percentile for reading and writing and 90th percentile for math. GRE does not publish combined score percentiles, but my Analytical Writing was in the 98th percentile, Verbal in the 93rd percentile, and Quantitative in the 83rd percentile.

For any AP test takers, in addition to my 4 in Spanish, I also achieved a 5 in US Government, and a 4 in both US History and English, all of which provided me with college credit.
