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.

Mary-Barrett

Certified Tutor

I taught French language and culture for over 15 years in both private and public schools: elementary, middle, high school, and Community college. I have lived extensively in Europe and Asia and have had the opportunity to visit many countries throughout the world. I had many wonderful experiences tutoring English as a second language in varying cultural contexts. I graduated from Smith College with a degree in French and studied at L'Universite de Paris, Sorbonne et Clignancourt through the Smith junior year abroad program. I also hold a Masters degree in Education with a concentration in Curriculum & Instruction. I am a lifelong learner believing that it is critical to impart an ongoing passion for learning to my students. I have had great success in my teaching and tutoring in many subjects because I combine the essential mastery of foundation skills with a creative approach. My other interests include Asian Brushwork painting, guitar, singing, tennis, golf, and walking.
