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.

Elisa

Certified Tutor

My name is Elisa, and I have an M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in reading and English as a second language. My experiences in education have led me to teach early childhood up until 8th grade. Also, I have taught fifth and third grade at a National Blue Ribbon School, and I strive to stay up to date on the best educational practices. I got trained by some of the industry's top rated professionals such as Lucy Calkins, Jeff Anderson, and Dr. Nikki Newton. Also, I integrate Dr. Carol Dewek's growth mindset research into my instruction.

I hope that we can work together to help you achieve your fullest potential!
