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.

Kathryn: Tacoma tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Journalism with a concentration in German. Since graduation, I have traveled around the world, organizing school activities that encouraged parents to be active participants in their children's education, leading & teaching in a youth service-oriented program, teaching Japanese students conversational English, and teaching ELA and Social Studies in a traditional middle school classroom. I have also edited and proofread books, newsletters, college essays, and more. While I also tutor History, I am most passionate about teaching English. I believe reading and writing well are the most important skills anyone can have. I know that everyone learns differently, and I believe that by personalizing learning to the individual, every student can be successful. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my family.
