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.

Certified Tutor

I am a tutor and teacher based in Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about working with students because I love learning, myself. I enjoy one-on-one sessions because we can take our time, enjoy the process, and I can focus on each student's individual needs.
My strongest subjects are English (reading, comprehension, writing, sentence structure, parts of speech/figurative language, grammar, etc.), Literature (essays, poetry, critical thinking, etc.), and Psychology (AP psychology, abnormal psychology, sociology, etc.). I also have success in test preparation, especially for Critical Reading and Writing portions of exams. I feel confident in History, Science, and Math, up to sophomore year of high school.
My goal as a tutor is, of course, to improve a student's grades and test scores. But I believe what may be even more important is to nurture a student's love for learning itself. I aim to hone the muscle of showing up to the work ready to try. I achieve this by creating a positive atmosphere, approaching education with an open mind and sense of humor, which, in turn, results in high motivation and resilience. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Theater and English from Muhlenberg College, as well as a Master's degree in Acting from Brown University.

Hobbies

I love so many different things! Some of my favorite pastimes are baking, reading (I'm reading "Circe," and I love learning about Greek mythology through its story!), jogging and hiking, yoga (especially with my little doggie stretching next to my mat!), and writing.
