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.

Sarah

Certified Tutor

I discovered a love of learning from an early age, deeply enjoying English, languages, and music especially. In college I majored in Linguistics and further discovered that I love the way languages work in general, and that teaching others to acquire skill in both their native and second languages, especially in pronunciation, is a fascinating and satisfying process. Through tutoring and assisting professors while at Luther College as well as giving violin lessons, providing childcare for younger to older children, and becoming a mother, I've found an abiding love for teaching one-on-one and helping people. I particularly appreciate the importance of gaining native-like pronunciation within the frame of language-learning, improving English reading and writing skills, and helping violinists to gain excellent form and tone from the beginning. My desire is to help people discover the way they best learn- visually, by doing, by listening, etc - and finding the most accessible way of explaining a concept for them individually. When approached from a familiar and personally appealing angle, learning can be much easier and more enjoyable!
