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.

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Columbia University School of the Arts, where I received my Masters in Visual Arts, and have a second Masters in English from New York University. I began my teaching career as an Adjunct Professor of English at SUNY at Fashion Institute of Technology and Baruch College. Over the past ten years, I have tutored English, English literature, writing, essay writing, history, classics and study skills and the standardized tests associated with those subjects. I enjoy the teaching process and helping students progress and develop their skills and knowledge. What I especially appreciate about tutoring is it allows me to work closely with a student; assess their individual needs and interests; and see practical, positive results that can have a direct impact on the future of their academic career. Through my previous work experience I have developed a particular passion for teaching writing; and I believe that writing is one of the keys to success in anyone's field of work or study. During my free time, I love to paint, write, see films and theater, cook and travel.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I enjoy communicating with students to find the best teaching approach for their personalities and learning styles, so they are in a position to both learn and enjoy the material. I always try to help students hone their critical reading and study skills to become active, confident learners at every stage in their education.
