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.

Shawna: Brentwood tutor

Certified Tutor

I love teaching students of all ages. I earned my BA in English degree from California State University Sacramento in 1998 and have utilized my degree ever since. I have written everything from stage plays to proposals for television shows. I am an adventurous person and have travelled to over 20 countries. I returned a year ago from living and teaching English in South Korea for two years. It was a wonderful experience which satisfied my curiosity of living in a culture very different from my own. I am currently a High School English teacher at a private school in Hollywood. I teach two AP classes and an SAT preparation class. I can help you prepare for the English portion of the SAT, I can help you improve your writing. I also love literature and can help with general essay writing for your classes. My teaching philosophy is no one wants to do what they do not enjoy, so let's find a way to make learning fun.
