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 a professional educator- practitioner based in Charlotte, NC. I hold a Master of Science in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment and a NC Professional Educators License in English Language Arts with a certification in AIG- Gifted Education. I have 20 + years secondary school classroom teaching experience and 10+ years School leadership experience. Any discussion of my personal philosophy or concept of learning must be entered into with the unmistakably clear understanding that, as an educator, I view myself as equal parts teacher and student. I see great value and validity in a plethora of both widely accepted and disputed learning theories. Having said that, my theory of education reflects a core value of my teaching and learning philosophy: Education must bring about transformation between what is 'learned' and what is 'lived' and develop the necessary connection between the two. I believe there are many paths to the one.
