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.

Amanda

Certified Tutor

Currently in the process of applying to medical school, I have my eyes set on becoming a physician, specifically an oncologist. I want to be a physician because I want to be a scientist, clinician, support system, and advocate for patients. I am drawn to the lifelong learning environment a physician explores, both from pursuing research questions and from connecting with patients. I am currently a Clinical Research Associate at Memorial Sloan Kettering, where I lead patient management for a number of groundbreaking clinical trials in the Multiple Myeloma service. I also recently studied for the MCAT, in which I self-disciplined with a set of Kaplan books, and scored in the 96th percentile.

In conjunction with my clinical ambitions, I am also passionate about the learning environment and supportive opportunities that come with tutoring. Prior to Varsity Tutors, I gained tutoring experience in both high school and college. When I graduated from Colgate University, I was dedicated to continue this work in New York City. I am eager to translate my love for learning and promote an encouraging, comfortable, and supportive learning space. I view tutoring as an opportunity to improve my students' weaknesses, as well as expand their strengths. In order to accomplish these feats, I work to adjust my approach to fit each student's needs. My interest in tutoring is driven by my desire to support students, as well as learn from them. I am eager to connect with a wide range of students throughout the New York area.
