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.

Certified Tutor

Hello,

My name is Emily. I'm a third year student in pharmacy school at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy. I have a bachelors degree in English from the University of Texas and English is my area of specialty. I have been in the academic world for a very long time and at this point in my life I'd like to help other students achieve the same goals. I can tutor you in English, SAT verbal, and essay writing. I am also very knowledgeable about admission processes for graduate school, especially pharmacy. I like to teach, to explain, and to tutor students. I have plenty of tutoring experience; I have taught for Kumon Learning Center and for the AmeriCorps. But most of all, I know how hard it is being a student, because I am one! I love learning and I consider it a gift to learn something new everyday. So let me teach you something new!

What is your teaching philosophy?

Knowledge is a thing to be shared. If I'm teaching you something and you don't understand, then I haven't shared it with you well enough.

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

Introduce ourselves, discuss our hobbies and interests, and discuss the overall goals of the student and what he/she would like to accomplish in the long term.
