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.

Ruby: Essex County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a current sophomore at Columbia University working towards a bachelors in Medicine, Literature and Society while on a pre-med track. The nature of my major is such that I am taking classes in and have experience with STEM (medicine), the humanities (literature) and social sciences (society). I have a good deal of experience teaching grades 4-9: before attending Columbia, I took a gap year, throughout which I assistant taught middle school math and science, focusing on basic genetics. I also teach through Columbia via an organization called Peer Health Exchange, which allows me to work with a group of 9th graders and to teach a comprehensive sexual health and wellness curricula. I myself had tutors throughout high school and even in some college classes, so I understand intimately how helpful a good tutor can be! In my spare time I like to read, sew, cook with my roommates, and play soccer on the Columbia Lawns.
