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 am currently a high school reading teacher but I am certified to teach reading in K-12. Reading is the backbone of everything we do in life, and it is my goal to get all of my students to be proficient readers in order to: follow directions and recipes, answer questions in complete and comprehensible sentences, and understand and apply what they read to not only the subject area but also real-life events. Of course, I also want my students to have a love for reading as I do!

Hobbies

I have a passion for ancestry research and spend much of my free time expanding information on my family tree. I also love to be outside taking walks and hikes, hunting, and exploring historical places. Of course, as a reading teacher reading is also a passion. My favorite thing to do is curl up with a good book that lets me escape from reality.
