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.

Effie

Certified Tutor

I recently graduated from Rice University with a triple major in Biochemistry & Cell Biology, Psychology, and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. I will be attending Baylor College of Medicine in a few months to pursue a MD degree. I am also an avid cellist.

I have been tutoring since my junior year in high school (6 years tota) and love teaching at all levels. I have a composite 2180 SAT and 34S MCAT score and received all "4/5"s on 7 different AP exams and was listed on Rice University's "President's Honor Roll". I know how hard and stressful it is to take standardized exams, as I myself have gone through it all, and this has motivated me to want to help make the process easier for those who are going through it. I am also very knowledgeable with college and medical school applications and will be happy to help go through the entire process and review essays. As listed above, I used to be a competitive cello player under the guidance of 2 Houston Symphony cellists and can give cello lessons if requested.

I love animals and visiting museums, parks and zoos.Classical music is one of my greatest passions and I am very interested in the natural sciences. I hope to become a pulmonary pediatrician.
