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.

Amos

Certified Tutor

My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that everyone has the ability to succeed academically, and that my responsibility is to facilitate that success. In my classroom, I strive to create a learning community in which everyone can feel like an equal partner, while at the same time celebrating each student's individuality. I place a great deal of importance on promoting growth mindset in the classroom. I choose content and design lessons that are relevant to the students, rigorous, and equitable. I strive to provide a variety of avenues for students to engage with that content and to express their learning. My approach is to share the responsibility of learning with my students. I have high expectations for everyone I teach, and I work very hard to provide them with the tools they need to meet their potential.

I truly believe that everyone has the ability to succeed academically, to become a responsible citizen and community member, and to flourish in the world outside of school.
