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.

Anna: East Orange tutor

Certified Tutor

I have my PhD in humanities from New York University, after receiving a masters degree in theatre at UCLA and a BA in English from Wesleyan University. I have taught in some capacity for my entire adult life: as a college humanities professor, as an ELA, AP English and drama teacher, and an IB Theatre and TOK educator. I tutor in all of those subjects and anything in the humanities and also in test prep for the SSAT, SAT, and AP English. I am the daughter of an immigrant, so I hold a special place in my teaching heart for students for whom English is a second language. I am known for making my students laugh and generally feel comfortable while they learn with me. I am the proud mom of two young adults and love to to walk by the nearby river, cook, and re-read my favorite books.
