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.

Zafira: Smithtown tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. I have experience working as a part-time substitute teacher in multiple Michigan school districts, where I supported elementary students in subjects like reading, writing, and math. I also have professional experience in educational and nonprofit communications, which has strengthened my ability to clearly explain complex topics in a way that's engaging and relatable.

While I tutor a range of elementary-level subjects, I am especially passionate about helping students build strong foundations in language arts, writing, and math. I believe every student can thrive when given the right support, encouragement, and tools. My approach is patient, flexible, and tailored to each student's learning style and pace.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy doing photography, going on nature walks as well as traveling with my friends and family.
