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

As an experienced educator with over two decades of teaching and tutoring experience, I am passionate about helping students achieve their full potential. I earned my Bachelor of Arts and Sciences from The Ohio State University in 1999 and went on to complete my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction in 2002. Throughout my career, I have held a variety of positions, including classroom teacher (third, fifth, sixth, and eighth grades), executive function skills coach, K-12 tutor, and homeschool evaluator.

I hold professional certifications in Elementary Education and Social Science (Grades 6-12) and my diverse background allows me to connect with students of all ages and learning styles. I believe that every student is unique, and I personalize each tutoring session to address individual needs, using a combination of informal assessments, feedback, and observation to adjust my instruction as needed.

What drives me is seeing students growacademically, socially, and emotionally. I take great pride in guiding learners through challenges and celebrating their achievements. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident, motivated, and empowered to succeed.

I look forward to bringing my knowledge, experience, and passion to help your child reach their academic goals!
