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

Hi! I'm a graduate of Brown University, Bachelor's Degree in Political Science; Sarah Lawrence College, Master's Degree in Women's History, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm for learning with you. I studied political science at Brown University, but I enjoy reading about subjects as diverse as astronomy, sustainability, and literature too. I had some study tactics that worked for me, especially for high school subjects and standardized tests. I can share these with you but also try to help you with tactics that you've already developed.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I love to learn, and I want to cultivate that love of knowledge in students. If you are studying for a particular test, you may need to learn very specific skills or problem types. I can help you with that, but above all, I want to help you to think critically, dig deep into the details, and connect ideas in the grand scheme of things.

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

In a first session, I want to find out why you decided to reach out, what your goals and expectations are, and how you have approached the learning process so far.
