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 worked, in various capacities, as a teacher for over twelve years. I began as a home school mom and then became a substitute teacher in public school, focusing on K-5th grade students. I have taught at a private Christian school and tutored no-child-left-behind students through the 12th grade. My main focus now is helping K-6th struggling readers by using phonics instruction. I also enjoy helping students with writing and language arts. My goal is not to just help them pass a test, but rather give them the skills to become strong, independent readers.

I enjoy gardening and farming. My area of study was plants and animals, so I have a deep love and appreciation of our world. I rode horses for thirty years, have owned an immense number of pets, and still live on a farm. I love Zumba, hiking, playing the piano, and am an artist in my spare time.
