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 am an English Composition (writing) and Literature Professor (PhD) who is passionate about helping students strengthen their writing and critical thinking skills. I have been teaching at the Higher Ed level for 7 years at prestigious universities (University of Arizona and Miami University) and hold a PhD in English (University of Arizona), an MA in English (East Carolina University), and a BA in Communication (Slippery Rock University).

I tutor in all subjects related to English, but mostly English Literature and Writing/Composition. While my favorite subject is literature, I also greatly enjoy working one-on-one with students to help improve their writing skills, which are essential for success in a broad range of careers. In addition, I have worked as an academic editor for the past 10 years, and thus have a strong command of English grammar and academic style(s), which inform my approach to tutoring and teaching. Finally, I am bilingual (English & Spanish) and know first-hand how difficult it can be to write in a second language. In Arizona, I frequently worked with English as a Second Language (ESL) students and have learned many tips and tricks to help improve second language learners' writing.
