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.

Olivia: Richton Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated magna cum laude with distinction in my major from Yale University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (Intensive). In the fall, I will be pursuing an MPhil in Criminology at the University of Cambridge through the Paul Mellon Fellowship. I am most passionate about college essay writing, public speaking, and English. I've had the opportunity to work as a reporter for the Yale Daily News, serve in Yale's student government, and speak at TEDxYale. These experiences deepened both my love for spreading ideas and my desire to help others develop their own voice. As a high school senior, I was accepted into multiple Ivy League universities, and I now love helping students navigate the college admissions process with confidence. I've mentored students through Model United Nations and coached peers in academic writing. In my experience helping students prepare for college essays and interviews, I've found that every student has a powerful story to tell: it's just about helping them find the best way to tell it. In my spare time, I enjoy reading memoirs, writing short essays, and exploring interdisciplinary questions in justice and public policy.

Hobbies

I’m really into law, but outside of that, I’m usually listening to a podcast, wandering around a museum, or getting lost in a book about politics or history. I love anything that helps me make sense of how the world works—ideally with a coffee in hand.
