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 a Master of Arts degree in English, an Education Specialist degree, and a Doctorate of Education. I've taught high school English for 24 years, and I still love it! I enjoy all of the subjects I teach, (I teach Speech and ACT Prep as well as English) but I especially love literature -- interpreting it and writing about it -- and grammar. I had an amazing grammar teacher who taught me that grammar makes sense, and I like turning on that light for others. I like meeting students, hearing about their challenges, and supporting them as they strive toward their goals. I've had great success helping students prepare for standardized tests, essays, and presentations. When I'm not teaching, I love to read, crochet, watch true crime documentaries, and hang out with my dog and family.

Hobbies

I love reading, all genres. It's difficult to say what I love to read most, but I especially love American literature. I also love being outside with my family and pets. On quiet evenings, while watching television with my family, I like to crochet blankets. I donate several baby blankets each year to the NICU at our local hospital.
