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 have always enjoyed working with people of all ages because there is so much to learn as we work and study together. I have studied and taught at university, particularly the psychology of learning to better understand how we learn things and grow. I speak three languages, French, English and German (plus a little bit of Hawaiian) and this has taught me a lot about how culture, words, and thinking influence each other. Basically, I've been a lifelong student myself so I am very happy to interact with other learners!

Hobbies

I love to walk in nature. Moss and ferns are my favorite type of vegetation because they decorate the forest floor like a carpet. I do oil painting and I'm writing a children's book to teach others about change and growth. I used to compete in track and field and danced ballet into my late teens. I love to learn new things. Most recently I took a class in Hawaiian Navigation to learn how the ancient Hawaiians crossed the ocean using the stars to guide them without any instruments.
