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.

Melissa: Lisle tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Purdue University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education. Since graduation I have spent time teaching in public and private school classrooms, for a total of 13 years, have taught with homeschool cooperatives and homeschooled my own children for 5 years, and have recently earned a Master's in Theological Studies. I have a passion for learning and love to pass that along to my students. My most favorite subjects are math and English. I love the way that math is logical and follows an order of operations. English is interesting to me because I am an author and I love using words to describe what I want to communicate.
