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.

What is your teaching philosophy?

In a first session, I like to get to know the student and their unique learning style. Then, I like to go over what they're learning, what they're struggling with, and also what they're understanding. From there, I can build a game plan for our work together.
