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.

Pamela

Certified Tutor

I received both a Master of Arts (English) and a Ph.D. (Textual Studies/Literature) from the University of Memphis, as well as a Bachelor of Arts (English) from Middle Tennessee State University. I have had the good fortune to teach at the University of Memphis, Florida A&M University, and Keiser University and one summer tutoring for Lindamood Bell. My investment in student success is a direct outgrowth of my convictions regarding equality and social justice; my undergraduate minor is in psychology and social work.

For almost eight years I taught literature and composition at a historically black college and those years were among the most rewarding of my career. I am most passionate about literature and composition, and I believe that to better serve our students, teachers must learn to better utilize technology in teaching those subjects. Some of the best times I have had in the classroom have been teaching poetry since it gives me a chance to engage with students through mediums they enjoy, music and images. My teaching style tends toward relaxed and conversational since I believe it is important for students to feel
like their teachers are human and approachable.

In my spare time, I am an avid nature photographer, a more than frequent reader, and a passable
bowler.
