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 am from the beautiful Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. I migrated to the U.S.A. when I was 18 and began my career as an educator 14 years ago. I have always been passionate about education. It has been my lifelong goal to be a teacher. As a dedicated educator, with more than a decade of experience, I would be extremely excited to be your tutor. I am positive that together we will be able to work towards your academic goals.
Currently, I am an independent contractor for VIPKID, China's most popular and exclusive online teaching and English company. I have taught more than 4600 online English classes. My certifications with VIPKID include reading, speech, writing, grammar, proper pronunciation, public speaking, book report, and TOEFL primary. As you can see I am very knowledgeable in online teaching and learning. However, my favorite subject to tutor is writing. My graduate degree (which I acquired as an online student) is in Teaching and Learning with Technology and I have an undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education.
Previously, I was a program lead at the Joint Reservist Base Fort Worth Child Development Center. At JRB Fort Worth, I was responsible for managing the center through several emergencies when my director was not available. I gained experience with administrative work and staff training during my time there. I am a proud military spouse and was honored to support families at centers located in Japan, California, and Texas where I was able to teach children from as young as three to as old as sixteen.
In closing, I would like to state that I am fully aware of the many challenges there are to learning. I have traversed these challenges and was able to successfully reach my academic goals even though I am a mother of three (my daughters are 19 and 13 and my son is 2 years old) and worked a full-time job. I guarantee that your learning skills will improve with me as your tutor because I am very patient and dynamic with my teaching. I understand that we are all unique and that each person requires individualized teaching so that they will be successful. I firmly believe in providing my students with the best education possible. You will always get my best in every class we have together. Thank you for this opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a wonderful day!
