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.

Certified Tutor

Hi there! I'm so excited to hopefully be apart of your student's learning journey. My name is Ni-ja Owens (Ms. Ni), and I've spent the past five years working with middle and high school students in English Language Arts including 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th grades. I currently work at an IB high school, teaching 9th grade students as they grow into stronger readers, writers, and thinkers.

I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Teaching, along with an intern 7-12 English Language Arts certification. I love breaking down tough concepts, helping students connect with stories on a deeper level, and making learning feel fun and approachable.

While I'm not a certified history teacher, I genuinely enjoy learning about history and I'm always happy to support students with social studies assignments whenever I can!

Whether your student needs help with reading comprehension, writing, literary analysis, or just building confidence, I'm here to support them every step of the way. Let's make learning meaningful and even enjoyable!
