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.

Barbara D: Florida tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello, I have earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from Prairie View A&M University, a MA in Christian Education from Dallas Theological Seminary, and a PhD in Information Science (emphasis in Education.) from the University of North Texas.

When I am not camping or building campers, I love to bring humor and creativity to the learning learning experience. I have been teaching others since I was 15 years old (bible, math, science, life skills). People who I have taught comment on how relaxed they felt and how I presented the subject in a way that was not intimidating.

I like to talk with a person and get a feel for their learning intelligence (how they best receive information). In this way, I can adapt my instruction for the best fit of the learner.

I have tutored people of all ages to help them achieve their goals whether it was passing a class in middle school or studying for a medical aid certification after being out school for 20+years.

My love language is giving gifts, so it is no surprise that I love to help people learn. Giving a person the gift of skills to help them become triumphant over a challenging subject matter is a tremendous gift because it often involves overcoming fear and building self-confidence!
