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'm a current student and teacher at Columbia University's Master of Fine Arts program in Writing with a dual track in Italian translation. Writing, English, Literature, Italian, and all things ACT-related are my specialties, though I'm also quite passionate about history and politics. Over the past year and a half, I've developed writing curriculum, taught at NYC's High School of Fashion Industries and Columbia University, and built a student-focused teaching philosophy. I strive to understand every facet of my students' "learning language"--the strengths and passions from which they approach the world. Reach out to me for a patient, empathetic, and experienced teacher who recognizes the talent and uniqueness of each student.
