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.

Tristan

Certified Tutor

I received my Masters Degree in International Politics and Business from New York University, and am currently on a year long leave from the Hopkins-Nanjing Center based in China. I am a certified ESL instructor. In addition to my tutoring work, I am currently working as a content marketing intern for a Shanghai-based consulting firm.

I have taught all over the world from South America to East Asia, and collectively have years of tutoring experience. These experiences have been as diverse as teaching English as a Second Language, students in underfunded school districts basic math and reading skills, and new mothers the test taking skills required to pass the GRE.

Although I love teaching ESL, I am also experienced in teaching Verbal and Quantitative subjects as well as standardized test preparation. I am deeply invested in the process of learning, and I am passionate about helping people develop critical life skills in the pursuit of short term academic success.
