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

Are you ready to learn more?
I am passionate about teaching and learning. The two go hand-in-hand.

I have a BA from Ohio State in Educational Psychology and a Masters in Educational Leadership from Urbana University and I am currently working towards my doctorate in Education. I am a 14 year veteran middle school teacher with a licence in 1st-8th Grade General. I am a former National Board Certified Teacher and have worked with PRAXIS as a scorer and scoring supervisor. I have also worked as a College Adjunct Instructor in Education and English Composition.
I tutor elementary students through adult professionals.

Currently I am writing a series of books designed to help people pass the various teaching test using my "insider" knowledge of these tests.

I am an English language nerd. Especially storytelling and language evolutions.
I believe everyone can always learn more and new things.
Outside of the classroom I love live theatre, good food, and traveling.
