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.

Samuel: Vernon Hills tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate student at Harvard with a strong background in writing, policy analysis, and test preparation. I've worked in Congress and at federal agencies, experiences that deepened my commitment to public service and sharpened my ability to communicate clearly and think critically. I've had the privilege of working with students from a range of backgrounds whether supporting peers through academic writing, mentoring students interested in government, economics, or statistics, or helping others break down complex topics into digestible steps.

I tutor a variety of subjects, including writing, reading comprehension, U.S. government, public policy, and standardized test prep for exams like the GRE and LSAT. I particularly enjoy working on writing and argumentationhelping students craft compelling essays, articulate their ideas, and build lasting confidence in their voice. My tutoring style is patient, collaborative, and adaptive. I believe in meeting students where they are, identifying what motivates them, and tailoring each session to make learning both effective and empowering.
