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.

Kara: Joliet tutor

Certified Tutor

I've been teaching for a little over 20 years now. While living in Bulgaria, opportunity literally knocked on my door when a local school teacher asked me to give teaching a try. I was smitten. Teaching is a pleasure.

Since then, I've taught English in three countries and three states. I've taught in both public and private schools. Currently, I teach English at a small private school for kids with ADD/ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, and other learning issues. The small class size helps us make great gains.

I enjoyed learning as a kid and I feel blessed to be a part of kids discovering that same love.
