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.

Nick

Certified Tutor

I am an energetic, effective, and experienced teacher. After completing my B.A. in English with Philosophy Minor from UC Berkeley, I lived in Rome, Italy for two years where I taught English as a Second Language. During this time, I discovered that I had a passion and a gift for teaching.

I completed my PhD in Comparative Literature with an emphasis on Latin American Studies from UC Los Angeles in 2009. While at UCLA I taught courses in Comparative Literature (Great Books), Writing Composition, and Spanish. From 2010-2014, I was Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at Whitman College. I am currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College where I teach courses in the Core curriculum and Spanish. My objective is to connect with students and stimulate intellectual curiosity, which I believe is the key to learning.
