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 graduated from UW Whitewater with a degree in Social Work. After my youngest son was diagnosed with Dyslexia, I learned about the science of reading and received my certification as a Dyslexia Practitioner. I've worked with children between the ages of 6-14, both privately and at the Children's Dyslexia Center, Milwaukee.

I use a multi sensory structured literacy program, based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. Each session will be individualized to the learner's needs.

I can appreciate just how challenging learning can be for some children. I think it's extremely important to build their self confidence through encouragement and empathy. Please reach out if you have any questions!
