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.

Marcia: Cupertino tutor

Certified Tutor

Educating students has been my passion, originally inspired many years ago by a warm and caring English teacher. I wanted to become just like her, so that's what I did! If you would like to know some personal information , I am originally from upstate New York with 3 adult children, plus 5 more whom we have raised over the years. 3 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson are also happy additions to our family. Should I also mention our cute little pets? Those are a dog and 2 cats. For me, the reward in teaching is knowing that I am helping students with skills and understanding that will lead to success in life. The best job in the world is having the opportunity to tutor motivated students who want to learn!
