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.

Polly: Woodbury tutor

Certified Tutor

I have over 14 years of experience teaching math, science, political theory, philosophy, photography and art as well as walking alongside students through the college application process. I am a higher ed administrator and former school counselor who walks alongside students as they self-actualize so that they can realize their full potential and achieve their dreams.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Princeton and graduate studies at Yale. As a low-income student from Texas public schools, I recognized early on the tools and resources needed to navigate challenging classes, applications, college campuses, and beyond. I have since used those tools to work with thousands of students, parents, and educators over a decade in higher education to connect each student - no matter their background - with their unique calling and innate curiosity.
