What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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.

Varsity Tutors really helped me understand the concepts during my Calculus 2 class. My tutor has such amazing patience and is open to many questions! Lastly, was always on time and very prompt. Highly suggest Varsity Tutors.

Certified Tutor

A philologist with MPhil degree from Cambridge University and PhD from the Russian University of Humanities, a certified TEFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher. I have been teaching Russian and English, as well as humanities, since the early 2000s, both offline (at the time it was the only way!) and online. Background in journalism and wide international experience (I lived and worked in India and in the United States before moving to the UK) have helped me to familiarize with different educational systems and taught me how to work with people of various backgrounds, cultures and interests.
Working with both adults and children, I am always looking for ways to arouse students' interest in a subject and encourage them to ask questions. Each student has unique needs, so all my classes are tailored, and I am doing my best to make our joint learning adventure as exciting as possible.
I dedicate my spare time to traveling, reading, learning French and having fun with my husband and two daughters, 10 and 8.
