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.

Rebecca: Largo tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a Buffalo State College graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education. Besides being certified in English/ Language Arts, I hold endorsements in Reading and ELL. I also am fortunate to have been trained in Holocaust Studies by my school district and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. I have taught in a variety of situations. Most recently, I was an English teacher to "at-risk" students, ages eleven to seventeen, encompassing 6th to 12th graders. The trauma-informed residential facilities where I am assigned trained me in the Sanctuary behavior model. The basis for this evidence-supported system is on creating and maintaining a "nonviolent, democratic, productive community to help people heal from trauma." I believe working in this Sanctuary environment made me not only a stronger teacher but also a better person. My passion is teaching, and every student is capable of learning, but not in the same way and not at the same time.
