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.

Emily

Certified Tutor

Although my academic background is in the sciences, I have tutored students in a range of subjects including anatomy and physiology, high school English, SAT prep, and algebra. In my years as a tutor in the MA public school system and at UMass Amherst, I have worked with both high school and college-aged students. As a camp counselor and neuroscience researcher, I have worked with infants and children from 2 months to 13 years of age.

I take the time to help my students find the best learning style for them and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. I work to find creative ways to help students understand tough concepts. My goal is to foster critical and abstract thinking, time management skills, and problem-solving skills in my students so as to help them become independent learners and reach their academic goals.
