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.

Tierney: Skokie tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a current medical student with a Bachelor's in Biology from Duke University. I have over 5 years of experience tutoring multiple subjects across a variety of ages and levels. I approach learning by fostering curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. My background in working with neurodiverse communities has inspired my emphasis on creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring complex concepts. I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and I strive to connect lessons to their interests and strengths, making learning relevant and engaging. Outside of academics, I enjoy running, spending time outside, and cooking for my friends and family.
