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.

Amy

Certified Tutor

I have taught high school English and SAT prep for over ten years, and I have three years of experience teaching graduate level English methods courses to pre-service teachers. I have worked with students on many levels and with varying degrees of interests in writing, reading and test prep. I really enjoy helping students to develop English language skills and understand their unique learning styles. I am currently available to tutor literature, writing, reading, grammar and SAT prep. Based on the student’s needs, I will design my tutoring sessions to review academic concepts and teach new ones to fill gaps in the student’s knowledge base. I can also help students with test strategies and teach them approaches to different types of SAT questions, if testing is the focus. I have a BA in English Writing and an MS Ed in Secondary Education. I am certified to teach English Language Arts grades 7-12, and I have achieved National Board Certification.
