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.

Marti: Thornton tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Washington College of Architecture and Urban Planning. After graduation, I worked in commercial and residential design in Seattle and Yakima, and then 'retired' to homeschool my children and teach.
I teach and tutor a variety of topics, including math, creative writing, design, drafting, drawing and art history, and marine biology.

I wish to instill a love of learning into students I help. The world is full of wonder and facts, but curiosity is the key to success. I love those "lightbulb" moments that spark interest in a deeper dive and greater understanding.
