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

My name is Vanessa. I am a passionate and qualified teacher and tutor. My education includes a BA in English from Washington and Lee University, and an MA in English Education from Columbia University's Teachers College. I have taught English in the classroom for over a decade. In addition, I have experience teaching S.A.T. prep courses and preparing students individually for ERB testing. I have tutored students outside of the classroom for many years. My qualifications include reading comprehension, analytical and creative writing, grammar and test prep. Because all students are unique, I meet each one where he or she is in the learning process, taking into account individual learning styles. In addition, I have a gift for making my sessions engaging and even fun. My students have enjoyed a lot of success over the years, which is always my goal. I look forward to getting to know you!
