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.

Patricia

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Memphis State University, now the University of Memphis. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Biology. Then, I received my Master of Art in Criminal Justice from the University of Memphis, a Master of Teaching in Special Education, and Graduate Certificates in Community College Teaching and Leadership, Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership, IDT - Design and Development, and IDT- K-12 Educational Technology.

I will graduate with my Ph.D. in Instructional Design and Technology this July. I taught Special Education for 11 years, and now I teach Criminal Justice courses to college students. I also develop online courses. In addition, I tutor and have tutored a variety of students over the years. My educational philosophy is that all children can learn; however, some children learn differently, and others learn at a different pace, but my job is to help them learn.

When I'm not working, I like to read, travel with my son, who is autistic, and do arts and crafts.
