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.

Alura

Certified Tutor

I am a current sophomore at Amherst College, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have privately taught the cello for almost five years and have enjoyed reading and editing my peers' and siblings' essays for as long as I can remember. I am interested in teaching English at the high school or university level in the future, so I hope to begin to cultivate my teaching skills and give back to the community through tutoring for Varsity Tutors. In my free time, I enjoy reading; running; yoga; playing the piano and cello; and capturing the world as I see it through digital photography.
