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.

Valerie: Villa Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students learn because so many times students are left behind and teachers do not have enough time to close gaps. I enjoy tutoring because it allows time to connect with different learners and clear up misconceptions.
I currently am an assistant principal of a charter school. I have been a classroom teacher, reading coach and Title 1 Coordinator.
I received my bachelors degree from Ball State University, my masters from Walden University and principal's license from Indiana Wesleyan University.

Elementary ELA is my passion helping students become confident readers that can evaluate, discuss and explain text is a joy to me.
During tutoring sessions, I like to use student interest and discussion to help stamp the learning of the lesson.
