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.

Tess: Justice tutor

Certified Tutor

I have a B.A. in International Studies from American University in Washington, D.C. and I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Ethics, Peace, and Human Rights at the same school. I have worked with a wide range of students from elementary school through college. I have been accepted to a variety of excellent universities, including Brown University, Boston College, University of Massachusetts, University of New Hampshire, University of Vermont, American University, George Washington University, Clark University, Syracuse University, Wheaton College, and St. Michael's College. I am most passionate about tutoring writing, reading comprehension, international relations, history, and politics. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests. My favorite experience so far has been working with gifted young people at Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. I'm excited to help you reach your learning goals.
