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.

Carissa: Durham tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Indiana University Purdue University in Columbus with a bachelor of arts in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. While I was in college, I conducted my own research on ostracism in children. I started tutoring students in college before I graduated. I tutored college students in psychology, statistics, and some English. During this time I also started tutoring high school students in their everyday classwork. I continued tutoring college-level students after I graduated while I was in Law school. I currently work tutoring students at a high school level in all classes. My favorite classes to tutor are psychology, statistics, and English because I have the most knowledge in them and I have worked with them the longest. I enjoy it when a student finally grasps a concept and you can see it in their face that they understand. Learning is a journey and I enjoy being able to help students navigate their journey.
