Fay

Expert Tutor

I completed my BA at Yale-NUS College, a small liberal arts school established as a collaboration between Yale University and the National University of Singapore. I majored in Philosophy and spent a term as a visiting student at the University of Oxford. Most recently, I earned an MA followed by a Research MA in Philosophy. I am currently in the process of applying to PhD programs. Philosophy (western and non-western) and literature are my favorite subjects to tutor, as I love to engage with texts. I'm also enthusiastic about helping students with all forms of writing, including college application essays, and with standardized test preparation. I tutor the ACT and the LSAT, and especially enjoy the sections that involve reading comprehension. I love to help students develop skills in conceptual and textual analysis and become confident readers and writers. In addition to academic tutoring, I also love to teach yoga and am looking for more opportunities to do so. I completed my 200-hr yoga teacher training in India in 2018. My tutoring style is relaxed and warm. I am easy going and bring my light-hearted personality to my sessions. At the same time, I encourage students to realize their potential. I'm adaptable and easily adjust my approach to suit the particular needs, preferences, and qualities of each student. I'm always happy to receive feedback and make changes as necessary. Many incredible teachers, from family members to academic mentors, have instilled in me a love for learning and critical thinking. I hope to pass this on to the students I tutor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Bellingham's six school districts, serving the full range of schools in the area. Whether your student attends a school in Bellingham Public Schools, Ferndale, Lynden, Sumas, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and academic standards they're working toward.

Students in Bellingham frequently seek help with math, science, and English—subjects that form the foundation for Washington State standardized testing and college preparation. We also work with students on AP courses, test prep (SAT/ACT), and subject-specific challenges like algebra, chemistry, and writing skills that align with what local schools emphasize.

Bellingham's average student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 means classroom instruction reaches many students at once. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your student's specific learning style, pace, and gaps—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting. Research shows this individualized approach significantly accelerates learning and builds confidence.

Tutors working with Bellingham students are familiar with Washington State standards and how local schools assess progress. They can target specific skills your student needs to master—whether that's meeting grade-level benchmarks in reading and math or preparing for state assessments—while working at a pace that makes sense for your student.

The first session is focused on understanding your student's current level, learning goals, and what's been challenging. The tutor will ask about recent schoolwork, identify specific areas to focus on, and establish a plan tailored to your student's needs and your family's timeline—whether that's homework help, test prep, or skill building.

You'll tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects—and we'll connect you with an available tutor who's a good fit. You can start with an initial session to see if it's working well, and adjust your tutoring schedule based on what your student needs. The whole process is designed to be straightforward so you can focus on your student's progress.

Absolutely. Tutoring can be scheduled around your student's school schedule, sports, activities, and family commitments. Whether your student needs consistent weekly sessions during the school year, intensive help before a big test, or flexible support around Bellingham's school calendar, we can work with your family's schedule.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and how frequently your student meets with a tutor. We're happy to discuss your budget and needs upfront so you understand what tutoring will cost and can make a decision that works for your family. Many families find that targeted tutoring pays off quickly through improved grades and confidence.
