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?

My teaching philosophy is to ask good questions and collaborate with students so I can help them achieve their goals. I have 20 years of experience preparing students for mathematics at all levels, and I will use that knowledge to help my student succeed.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In my first session, I get to know my student's learning habits through conversation and questioning. In order to help a student to accomplish their goals, I need to know how they learn and how to challenge them though new learning.
