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 a born and bred native of the Philadelphia area, and I have both a Bachelors Degree, from Temple University, and Masters degree from Purdue University in Indiana. I am excited by the challenge of preparing for any academic event, but I have a special enthusiasm for preparing students to take the SAT Exam. I strongly believe that SAT preparation can never be a dry, purely intellectual exercise; if you are simply memorizing a list of facts by rote, you are making your test day challenge even harder! In addition to focusing on the intellectual work, I work closely with students to help them find a deeper, personal connection to that information. Also, I believe it is crucial to supplement your studying by working on your studying process itself (because it's important to work smarter as well as harder). Finally, I bring an enthusiasm to meeting the challenge of exam preparation that I hope will act as fuel for the student throughout the tutoring process. In my free time, I enjoy acting, reading any book that has new ideas and watching as much baseball as I possibly can. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope to work with you towards success in your SAT goals!
