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?

Maslow, with his theory of the hierarchy of needs, believes that all basic needs for humanity is necessary. I truly believe that a child can become successful if their basic needs are met, and most importantly, their self-esteem is not compromised. Self-esteem issues can cause distractions and become issues beyond repair. As a future teacher, I want to boost my student's self-confidence and accomplish this by becoming their cheerleader. This does not mean that I would never point out areas where they can improve, but instead, I can relay the message in a tactful way by giving them the reassurance they need.
