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.

Davien

Certified Tutor

I am a poet, lover of literary gossip, and unrepentant Freud apologist. I have a BA in English and Psychology from Columbia University and will soon be pursuing an MFA at Johns Hopkins.

I enjoy adjusting my teaching style for each students' individual needs. I have worked with students struggling with basic phonics to total literary whizzes who needed more fine-grained advice.

I have tutored students from all levels, from middle school to college. I am especially excited to help students with reading comprehension, essay editing, and argument building. In general, my subjects include: English grammar, literature, creative writing, psychology, and social sciences. I also performed exceptionally on standardized tests and can help students preparing for AP tests, SAT or ACT exams.
