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 retired professional with a degree from Michigan State University. I have experience as a substitute teacher at the elementary and middle school grade levels. I have focused on English and reading. I like to think of myself as a grammar perfectionist and often tell my students "I didn't make the grammar rules, I just enforce them".
I think it is important to keep learning fun and exciting. It should never be boring or a "chore" to learn. I have found that my keeping the atmosphere "light" the student is more receptive to learning.
