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 fell in love with writing as a child with a rampant imagination. In 5th grade I was selected as a gifted student to assist younger students with reading and reading comprehension. Since then I've discovered a love of peer editing and review through the writing classes I've taken in high school and college.

I want to help students find their own passion for literature and composition in a comfortable and compassionate setting. As a writer and academic, I believe that understanding how to write well is essential to understanding other people.

When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading and writing (really!), cooking, going to dance classes, and playing my ukulele.
