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.

Shannon: London tutor

Certified Tutor

While my background is in engineering, I have always had a passion for words and an aptitude for reading and writing.

I earned my bachelor's in engineering with a concentration in materials science. Afterwards, I moved to Sweden and completed a master's in sustainable technology. I lived in Stockholm for two years and worked on teams with students from all over the world. My thesis focused on energy efficiency in wastewater treatment systems.

I believe in life-long learning and keeping a curious spirit. Having gone through the experience of AP tests in a variety of subjects, to SAT preparation, to rigorous college courses, I want to help students succeed as they go through the same processes. My teaching experience includes working as a course assistant for a design course in college and working as an adventure guide for teenagers at an environmental education center. Privately, I have taught English speaking, essay writing, and Latin dancing.

I specialize in writing, English, and test prep, but I am well-versed in a variety of subjects. My style is encouraging and highly personalized to each student. When I am not helping students, you can find me hiking, biking, canoeing, reading, or dancing.
