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 passionate educator with two years of experience as an assistant teacher, small group instructor, and tutor in public schools. I love working one-on-one with students, meeting them wherever they are, and pushing them beyond where they thought they could go. I have a strong growth mindset and I believe in hard work, but I also have a good sense of humor and I know that the best learning happens when the learning is fun!

What is your teaching philosophy?

Learning is fun, learning is exciting, and learning is hard work. I believe that any student can achieve any goal with enough hard work and support. I support my students by meeting them where they are and pushing them farther, by responding to their individual needs, and by giving as much helpful feedback as I can.
