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.

Elisabeth

Certified Tutor

I was born and raised in Germany and have lived in Baltimore for over ten years. As a 7th grade Latin teacher, I have experience working with middle school students, and I have also taught Latin, history, and writing on the college level. In addition, I have also worked with high school students. I hold a B.A. in history and German studies from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, and am currently completing my PhD in Classics at the Johns Hopkins University. I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching, and am a firm believer in Seneca's statement "non scholae sed vitae discimus" - we learn not for school, but for life.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that learning is fun, and I strive to make my students' experiences just that.

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

Get to know each other. What do you enjoy about the subject? What are you struggling with? Go over recent assessments and homework. And then get to work!

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

One skill that I have learned as a teacher is to explain a concept in many different ways. Everyone learns differently.
