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 graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia where I received my Master of Arts in Communications and the State University of New York where I earned my B.A. in English Literature. I have been working as an English teacher for more than a decade. I've taught high school English/Language Arts in Florida high schools and I've also worked as an international educator teaching students in Japan and Kuwait. I tutor students in reading (decoding); analyzing and comprehending English Literature; improving their grammar; and test preparation. I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun studying the sample questions and understanding how to choose the correct answer. I strongly believe with the right instruction and guidance any student can be successful. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, photography, and traveling.
