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.

Alina

Certified Tutor

I am currently a math tutor in the Portland metro area, working with underprivileged and at-risk youth. I teach supplemental algebra classes as well as help students prepare to pass the GED test and earn credit recovery.

I have a Masters in Geological Sciences from the University of Florida and a Bachelor of Arts in Geology from Bryn Mawr College. As a masters student, I taught environmental science labs and helped to curate science curriculum for elementary and middle-school teachers. Although my speciality lies in earth sciences, I have attained an extensive math, physics, chemistry, and english background throughout my studies.

My philosophy is to work smarter, not harder! I love to teach students how to build a framework to efficiently learn the subject material, which reduces anxiety and makes their goal more attainable.

In my free time I enjoy hiking and looking at rocks! I love music and try to go to as many shows as possible and messing around on instruments of all types.
