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

I am an experienced teacher with two Bachelor's degrees, a Master's degree, and completed Ph.D coursework. I have approximately seven years of teaching experience, and I hold an English certification. I have a passion for all the material I teach, and that allows me to meet my students' learning needs. Even more importantly, I am creative. Sometimes teaching is all about packaging the ideas differently.

What I value most in the learning experience is when students become confident and independent in their own learning. My job as a teacher is to give them those tools. I am a lifelong learner myself, and I greatly value what my students teach me. Their insights and the ways they learn help me to grow as an instructor.

I have experience teaching the following subjects: American Literature, British Literature, Composition
and Rhetoric, proofreading, and editing.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. Have a wonderful week!
