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.

Sylvia: Blue Island tutor

Certified Tutor

I taught high school English in a brick-and-mortar classroom for eight years. I'm that nerdy, overly excited English teacher who gets really into discussions and trying to help my students learn to love and appreciate the power of language--written and spoken. It's so cool to find references to literature in every day life, and it's fun when my students start to see that, too.
