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.

Akima

Certified Tutor

I was born in the US Virgin Islands and attended the University of the Virgin Islands, where I tutored students in math, science, computer science, and writing. During my undergraduate studies, I had research experiences where I developed my programming and analysis skills. I continued pursuing these fields of study during my graduate studies at the University of Michigan. While there, I participated in several coding workshops as an instructor and taught learners of all ages. It brings me joy to see the click of understanding when a student is tackling a new subject and I try my best to help them achieve their goals.
