I am a high honors, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of University of California, Santa Barbara. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature with a minor in French. During my time there, I studied abroad for a semester in Paris at the Sorbonne and the Paris Center for Critical Studies. I received the Certificate of Undergraduate Excellence in French and the Distinction in the Major award for my honors undergraduate research thesis in Comparative Literature, which was on the dynamics and representations of female transgression in the "stepwomen" of folk and fairy tales. I worked as a Writing tutor at U.C.S.B., first tutoring English to ESL foreign exchange students at the university, and then went on to work on basic study skills, writing, and essay planning and writing with undergraduates from all majors and disciplines, while also advising a few PhD candidates on their thesis writing. Since graduation, I have held multiple writing and editing positions, including my positions as Deputy Fiction Editor at the Los Angeles Review of Books and Associate Editor at Phoneme Media, a Los Angeles-based world literature and translation publisher.

I am originally from Augusta, Georgia and did my undergraduate studies at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. I waited tables through college there and majored in accounting. I am currently a graduate student at the Leventhal school of accounting at USC. I enjoy guitar, reading, and fitness.
I am a current undergraduate student at Occidental College, where I am majoring in Chemistry. I have a passion for teaching and engaging students with their education. There is little that is more rewarding than aiding a struggling student successfully. In high school, I was a member of the National Honors Society and relished the opportunities that organization provided me to tutor others. I love learning, and I love sharing that with others. What better way to engage others learning than tutoring?I enjoy video games and other computer related tasks, baseball, basketball, and I love to read.
I am currently a student at Occidental College, earning my B.A. in American Studies. I have tutored and taught students for the past five years in a variety of subjects in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Melbourne, Australia. I currently tutor in SAT writing and verbal preparation, essay writing skills, English, and Literature. My favorite subjects to tutor are definitely those that involve writing, because they provide fantastic opportunities for students to express their creativity. One of my major goals in tutoring is to help students find a passion for learning the material they are presented with. In my free time I love attending comedy shows, playing volleyball at the beach, and finding new restaurants to eat at with friends.
I am a junior studying Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. For the past two spring semesters I worked as a CollegeSpring Mentor, tutoring Green Dot Charter high school juniors for the SAT and teaching them predatory skills for college. In addition to my experience tutoring for the SAT, as a screenwriting major I most enjoy teaching my favorite subject, English. I love showing students the power language endows upon them to communicate their ideas and beliefs with others. I believe every student deserves the chance to succeed and to try to capitalize on their strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.
I am a student at UCLA entering my junior year. I am majoring in English, and I hope to pursue a career in law after schooling. I have experience in journalism and editing, so I am here to help students who need guidance with the structure and grammar of their writing. I can tutor anything from elementary school English to lower division college courses, and am willing to help in every way that I can!
I am a graduate of Southern Methodist University. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies, with a focus on acting and directing. Since beginning high school, I have spent much of my extracurricular and summer time tutoring, mentoring, and counseling students elementary though high school age. While a tutor a fair amount of subjects, I sincerely enjoy exploring English, Literature, and French. I love the English and Literatue because both subjects connect deeply to my love for theatre, and I love French because I have lived in France twice; once when I was 7 in Paris, and again when I was 16 in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region. I would say my teaching style depends directly on the student, but generally, I love acting like I'm a student too and find fun ways to address the issues they're facing in practical ways. I always try to get my students to appreciate the skills they develop by showing them how they're useful in everyday life. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy trying new restaurants, going for a swim, practicing my singing, and going to acting class.
I'm a New York transplant to LA, and a freelance composer and musician by nature. I am an artist and a teacher-- these are my two passions! I'm also a translator, linguistics nerd, avid reader, and fabulous teacher. I went to NYU and studied Linguistics, and am continuing my studies for an Applied Linguistics Masters here in California.
I am focused on improving fundamental study skills through a practical, hands-on approach. This includes imbedding real-world applications into every lesson to inspire students and spark their latent curiosity. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard in 2018 and currently live in Los Angeles, CA.
I am a graduate of The University of Verona, Italy. I received my Bachelor of Arts in
I'm Arian. I graduated from Wesleyan University with degrees in English and Environmental Studies, with a focus on creative writing. For my senior thesis, I wrote a 50-page epic poem that intertwined the geobiological evolution of the earth with my family history.
I am confident that by tailoring personalized learning sessions to individual student needs and giving students the resources and skills they need to succeed, any student can ace their next exam, get the best grade, or get into the college of their dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions
With 169 school districts across Los Angeles serving over 276,000 students, each with different curriculum pacing and standards, personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps bridge gaps that can form in larger classroom settings. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand California's academic standards and can adapt their teaching to match each student's school's specific expectations, whether they're in LAUSD, Santa Monica-Malibu, or any of the region's other districts.
While Los Angeles schools maintain a reasonable student-teacher ratio, individual attention in a classroom of 19+ students is limited—teachers must manage diverse learning needs, pacing, and classroom dynamics. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing undivided focus on your student's specific challenges, learning style, and pace, which accelerates progress in ways group instruction alone cannot.
Los Angeles students frequently seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, science, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. Additionally, with Los Angeles's large multilingual population, many students benefit from English language development and world language tutoring to meet California's graduation requirements and college readiness standards.
Your first session is an assessment and connection meeting. The tutor will learn about your student's current academic level, specific challenges, school curriculum, and goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for the SAT/ACT, or mastering a particular concept. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized learning plan that aligns with your student's school's standards and your family's expectations.
Tutors working with Los Angeles students are familiar with California's academic standards and assessments, including the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). They can target instruction toward specific standards your student needs to master, whether in English language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies, ensuring tutoring directly supports success in California classrooms.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors based on your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific needs—whether that's homework help, test prep, or catching up after gaps in learning. The matching process considers your student's school and curriculum context, so you get a tutor who understands Los Angeles's educational landscape and can provide relevant, effective instruction.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level, but Varsity Tutors works with families across Los Angeles to find options that fit different budgets. You can discuss pricing and package options when you connect with a tutor—there's no one-size-fits-all cost, and many families find personalized instruction delivers strong value compared to the cost of academic struggles or test retakes.
Many students show improvement in understanding and confidence within the first few sessions, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and frequency of sessions. Consistent tutoring—typically 1-2 sessions per week—often leads to visible grade improvements within 4-6 weeks and more substantial progress over a semester. The key is regular, focused instruction tailored to your student's specific gaps.
