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.

Kara: Woodbury tutor

Certified Tutor

I have been teaching middle school Special Education since 2017. I co-teach classes in the general education setting and teach resource classes in the special education setting. I primarily teach English, Reading, and Math. I also work with students on behavior management, self-regulation, organizational skills, and social skills.

While core subjects are important, I also put a lot of energy and emphasis on promoting a growth mindset. There truly is no learning without making mistakes, and that can be a very uncomfortable fact. I encourage students to be brave enough to make mistakes and work through learning from them.
