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.

Alyssa

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, under the Writing, Rhetoric, & Communication concentration. I have spent over a year during college as a tutor in the school's Writing & Reading Center. I have also worked both customer service jobs and jobs related to teaching/caring for young children. I tutor mostly English subjects: writing, reading comprehension, speeches, etc. Though less experienced, I am also a History lover and willing to help when possible. I find no greater payoff to my work than seeing a student instill better writing habits and tell me of their improved grades. I tutor because I believe every student has the potential to succeed with the right help. Using the skills I have earned, I enjoy helping others find confidence in their writing/reading pursuits. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, baking, and spending time with my family.
