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

My formal teaching experience includes undergraduate literature, multi-genre creative writing, and fiction writing courses at a large and diverse university with global campuses. I also worked as a tutor in a university writing center, serving students across all disciplines.

Creative writing is my favorite subject to teach. I learn something new in every session, probably owing to the "less lecture, more workshop" model.

I recently returned to Utah from the D.C. area, where I attended graduate school and earned an MFA in Creative Writing.

Hobbies

I love to read and write (of course!), hike in the mountains, and walk other people’s dogs. When the pandemic is over, the first things I’m going to do are: visit the library, go to a movie in a crowded theater, and cook a meal for as many friends and family members as I can seat at one very large table.
