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.

Lisa: Hawthorne tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of UMASS Amherst. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Communications. For many years, I have been a teacher and tutor. I have taught the piano for over twenty years to children and adults. I also was a tutor for a residential high school. For over five years I have been helping adults to lear English as a second language. As an adult I too learned to speak a foreign language and I understand the commitment and motivation it takes to succeed. I enjoy helping others meet their personal goals and it gives me great children to watch children become competent in their schooling. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, reading and homeschooling my elementary aged son.
