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.

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of The University of Virginia. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Government with a focus on American politics. I also received a minor in Russian area studies. Upon graduation, my cumulative GPA was a 3.99. Since graduation, I have worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, modernizing course information and helping the Center prepare for online learning this fall. In this time, I have also been tutoring students in Russian, English, history, and political theory. While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Russian, reading, and essay writing. I believe that education is the key to unlocking many great opportunities in life and I am highly dedicated to the success of my students.
