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.

Melissa: Montreal tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and take ownership of their learning. I have been teaching for 12 years. I have also offered tutoring services while teaching full time for nine years. Most recently, I have taught first grade for nine years. I also previously taught fourth and fifth grade language arts and social studies for three years. I hold a Bachelor's in Elementary Education (PreK-5) from Eastern Kentucky University and a Master's in Teacher Leadership from Midway University. I tutor in phonics, reading, writing, grammar for grades K-5. I also offer tutoring services in math for grades K-3. I particularly love tutoring in phonics and reading, because it is such an important foundational skill, and I love helping kids gain confidence in their reading skills. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and personalized.
