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.

Catherine: Bergen County tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and minors in Environmental Science and Spanish. For a year after graduation I worked in a biochemical research lab where I studied various protein pathways in cancer cells. I then left to begin my Peace Corps service as a high school Math teacher in Mozambique where I learned Portuguese, in which I taught. I also taught English to a group of adults and a group of adolescents. In addition I have been a math tutor for adults working to obtain the equivalent of a high school diploma. I can tutor all levels of high school Math, (AP) Chemistry, (AP) Biology, Spanish, (AP) Language, (AP) Literature, and general reading and writing. I love teaching because I can share my love of learning, and for the sense of purpose that mentorship brings. I can help your child understand whatever they are having trouble learning because I am patient, interesting, and fun, and can explain concepts in a creative way.
