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 a U.S. Army Infantry Veteran, and I have 3 degrees. AAS: Automotive Technology, BA: History and Political Science, MA.ed: Educational Leadership. After leaving the Army I decided to pursue a career in teaching. Life happens in between decisions as they say, and I ended up in the automotive industry which is where I have had a career in at some capacity or another for the past 25years.

Teaching is my passion, and I was an automotive instructor at an inner city technical high school in the Seattle Washington area for 8 years. I had the distinct privilege to teach a very underserved population, in conjunction with leading out in teacher meetings and workshops. I was also a mentor and practicum teacher (I taught teachers, how to teach).

Teaching fills my soul, and give me purpose. I thoroughly enjoy watching student's who were struggling become life long learners, and graduate high school with many successes they can speak of.

My key focus areas history/political science, reading comprehension, test anxiety, test preparation, research and writing skills, motivating students to become successful in their life, career counseling, and life skills.
