What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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 have a passion to watch students meet or exceed their educational goals. Student success is how I measure my success. If you are not successful, I am not successful.

I have a doctorate degree in educational leadership and have worked in a few different educational settings. I believe in every student has the ability to go far and beyond what they may consider " their " potential.

I have been a math teacher off and on for 15 years, have helped many students earn their GEDs, increase their level of performance on state tests, and place-out students out of intensive math courses ( this allows them to take fun electives like P.E.).

If given the opportunity, I would enjoy the opportunity to help you reach ( or exceed) your educational goals.
