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.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I have always believed that learning should be an enjoyable experience. Some students are not passionate about their education, and it is my job to help them find that passion. I want them to understand how important it is to be able to read and write well.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

First off, I would discuss the goals the student is hoping to reach through our tutoring session. I would ask him or her what they enjoy learning and try to gain perspective of what will work best for the student. I would want the first session to be about getting to know each other so the student will be comfortable learning with me.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

It will take baby steps to help a student become an independent learner. First, I would want to start with some independent reading and then note-taking of what he or she is reading so we could discuss it. I would encourage them to branch out and find a subject that interests them the most and research that topic. Passion takes time to build, but I would never give up.
