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

I'm Kelly and I love everything about language. I became an avid reader at a young age, and it's stuck with me my entire life. My favorite stories are those that engage both intellect and emotions. And I love the infinite possibilities that come with constructing a good story. I'm honored to serve as a teacher and mentor to all my students!

I first started teaching and tutoring nearly 20 years ago, with elementary and middle school students, in reading, phonics, comprehension, and writing. I then went on to teach at the university level and in public programs for places like the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing at Arizona State University. I make my primary living as a book editor, but have always loved wearing my "teaching hat" and look forward to sharing my many years of practical and academic experience with the written word with my students.
