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.

Melanie

Certified Tutor

I am a current MFA candidate at American University, studying Creative Writing with a concentration in Fiction. I earned my bachelor's degree from Dickinson College in 2021, where I majored in English and minored in Creative Writing and Italian. I tutor any subject related to reading or writing in the English language -- particularly the SAT Verbal and Writing sections, and the ACT English and Reading sections. I specialize in test prep, but am open to tutoring a broad range of subjects not limited to standardized test-taking. I am passionate about helping students to achieve their individual learning goals and gain academic confidence. I strive to learn about each student's unique skills and interests so that I can help them apply their talents to a broad range of subjects, including the ones they find intimidating or challenging.
