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.

Alexis: Deerfield tutor

Certified Tutor

In May 2018, I graduated from Duke University with a BS in Biomedical Engineering and Global Health with a Chemistry Minor. I am currently working in healthcare to gain clinical experience prior to applying to medical and/or graduate schools. While at Duke, I tutored elementary aged children as a part of the America Reads America Counts program. Also, while in high school, I tutored Pre-Algebra through Calculus to high school aged students. Currently, I tutor a variety of math courses from elementary-aged math through college level calculus. I also tutor English and writing skills, having taken several writing intensive college courses and gained experience in professional research manuscript writing. I prefer tutoring math (of any level) as I really enjoy seeing and better understanding how the world works through numbers. When I teach, I enjoy drawing real world connections and giving tangible examples of abstract ideas. I am an optimistic, energetic motivator who believes anyone can achieve anything he/she puts his/her mind to. Outside of academia, I am very active and love the outdoors. I am an avid trail runner and enjoy watching sports, particularly college MBB and the NBA.
