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.

Alix

Certified Tutor

I've been tutoring since my junior year of undergrad, when I worked as a writing assistant, running writing workshops and holding office hours to help struggling writers improve their academic essays. After college, my first job was as a tutor down in DC -- primarily for the SAT and ACT, but also for a range of academic subjects (anything except math!).

Otherwise, I'm a dog lover and working poet who lives in Brooklyn. Everybody says they like to cook and I'm no exception -- my friends have come to expect me to bring them brownies or cookies (because if I don't bring them to other people, I'll eat them all myself, which is no good for anybody). I have a pet hedgehog, Dwayne 'The Hog' Johnson, and enjoy hanging out with him in my free time.
