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.

Therese: Halifax tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently a rising senior at Barnard College of Columbia University studying Anthropology and Psychology.

The college admissions process, while at first daunting, is a pivotal moment in a student's academic career. Standardized tests especially are all about practice. I want to work with each student to help them actualize their goals by tailoring to their individual learning style and teaching them the strategies necessary for conquering the ACT.

I believe that writing is a dynamic process, and a successful writer is someone who can communicate their ideas effectively. My goal is to guide each student at whatever stage they are in and to help them clarify, organize, and strengthen their content by engaging in fruitful dialogue. The end result is a piece that demonstrates a clear understanding of the topic in their own unique voice.
