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

After 30 years as an educator in Texas, I continue to be passionate about teaching and learning. I am grateful for the amazing journey I had and hope to continue on this path working with learners to help them achieve their learning goals. I earned my undergraduate degree in English Writing from St. Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana. I was a middle school language arts teacher and reading teacher. After teaching several years, I earned my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Lamar University. I served as a district reading coach serving both high schools and middle schools. I also was a Language Arts Instructional Specialist on a middle school campus. Since retiring, I have continued to work part-time with both high school and middle school students to prepare for state testing.
