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 graduated Fairfield University with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and minors in Educational Studies & Economics. I'm currently a Master's student at Columbia University studying Actuarial Science.
At Fairfield I spent time at a local elementary school, gaining some hands-on experience teaching the children and helping them with their homework. We accomplished what we needed to in a lighthearted but timely fashion which kept them focused and engaged throughout the class.
With my background in math, I'll get you to where you need to be in your studies and help prepare you for the next level.
