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.

Michelle: Riverdale tutor

Certified Tutor

I have been teaching for over 20 years in various capacities. I have been in my current position for 18 years. I believe in meeting the social-emotional needs of students is critical before we can meet their academic needs. I have a history of being patient-but firm. I will push kids to reach their greatest potential. I often tell kids- "I will work just as hard for your success as you do, but I won't work harder." I firmly believe that the students need to see the effect of their hard work in order to stay motivated for success.
I have my Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master's in Elementary and Special Education. My passion is Science, but I also enjoy teaching the other subjects.
