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.

Gail: Long Beach tutor

Certified Tutor

I believe I was born to be a teacher. I absolutely love helping all students learn something new. I attended Vassar College for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in History, and The Catholic University of America for both my Master's and Doctorate degrees in Historical Musicology. I am a classically trained soprano, and there is always a song in my head. I have two sons in college and two dogs. My strongest personal philosophy is to find the humor in any situation. Laughter can help solve problems in so many ways.
