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.

Marc: Des Plaines tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello All!

My name is Marc Barreda and I am so excited to collaborate with you.

My main approach through teaching is genuine connection. Through authentic relationship building, I am able to meet you half way and beyond to make sure your academic needs are being met.

My journey to becoming a New York teacher/tutor was not linear and I have life experience to offer outside of the classroom that I would be more than willing to share.

I understand the complex needs of students and aim to ensure that all of my students are provided with a rigorous and engaging tutor session.

My specialties include grammar and syntax, reading comprehension, essay writing, short response questions, finding the main idea, breaking down texts, analysis of text, and any ELA or reading needs.

I also teach elementary math (grades K-6), science, and psychology.

Thank you for your time!
