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.

I have been a journalist for more than 35 years, working at The New York Times, Newsday and NBC News, among other companies. I earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Rochester and a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

I tutor reading and writing, mostly. I got started helping my nephew with his homework and most recently helped him figure out what to say in his college essay. I excel at spelling and grammar.

I enjoy reaching young minds and seeing that spark of recognition when a student finally understands something.

When not tutoring I enjoy sailing, swimming, bike riding and doing cryptic puzzles.
