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

For over three decades, I've dedicated my career to empowering students and educators. My journey began in Canada, earning my undergraduate degree from the University of Lethbridge and culminating in a Master's in Educational Leadership from the University of Calgary. Starting as a Humanities and Business teacher, I quickly developed a passion for integrating technology and fostering student growth. This led to my transition into school leadership, where I served as a Principal across all grade levels (1-12). My commitment to excellence was recognized with the prestigious Alberta Excellence in Teaching Award, a testament to my dedication to impactful pedagogy.

Beyond the classroom, I've contributed to the field through published papers and a book that shares my insights into student and teacher development. Driven by a desire to further support student success, I recently developed a comprehensive executive function coaching curriculum, designed to equip coaches with effective strategies. I'm deeply passionate about helping students unlock their full potential, building their confidence, and providing them with the tools they need to thrive. My extensive experience in coaching students, combined with my deep understanding of educational principles, allows me to provide personalized and effective support.
