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.

Helena: Forest Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a third year law student at Columbia University. I have a bachelor's degree from Cornell University, where I graduated summa cum laude in 2022 and studied English Literature and Feminist Studies.

Throughout my undergraduate and legal education I have acquired strong writing and research skills. I also have experience in the undergraduate, transfer, and graduate school application process.

I have been tutoring since 2020, and I have experience teaching high school, college, and graduate students in writing, literature, SAT prep, and college applications. I currently serve as a teaching assistant for a first year legal writing class, and I was an editor of the Columbia Journal of Race and Law.

After law school I plan to pursue a career as a public defender, and I have a strong commitment to public interest work. I also have a passion for teaching and I hope to tutor students in a variety of reading and writing subject areas. I love working one on one with people and working towards their learning goals.
