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.

Ruth: Halifax tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently working towards a BS in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University. In the past I have worked with middle school orchestra students at an arts summer camp, where I was a volunteer Teacher's Assistant. During this camp I ran sectionals with small groups of students and sat in with the violinists to help individual students in large group rehearsals. I have some tutoring and organization experience by working with my high school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation, where we offered free tutoring to other high school students. I am most passionate about tutoring algebra and pre-calculus, because I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of math. I also tutor English and SAT prep. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and practicing as many different instruments as I can get my hands on!

Hobbies

I have been playing music since the age of 5, which is when I started playing piano. Since then I have picked up the double bass as my primary instrument, so I enjoy practicing piano, bass, and any other instrument I can get my hands on! I love to cook and bake, and making different flavors of macarons is one of my favorite things to bake. I also love crocheting, and I recently started working on my third blanket. Finally, I enjoy reading about a number of topics including science, murder mysteries, and food.
