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?

My teaching philosophy is to engage each student using creative methods that foster intellectual inquiry and interest.

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

I'd like to get a sense of what the student is struggling with and try to understand the difficulty so we can best address it.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Independent learning is all about problem solving. So, I would show the student how to overcome difficulty by giving them the tools to work out problems on their own.
