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 have been working in independent schools for two decades, enjoying an emphasis on writing - analytical, creative, and persuasive. I have a master's degree as well as a professional background in English literature and creative writing. I am especially keen to help students work on English essay work at any age and/or college application preparation.

I believe that a collaborative, pragmatic tutoring relationship is most successful. You have goals you wish to achieve in regards to your assignments; I hope to serve as an empowering, informative teammate in that endeavor. I am happy to tailor a session to the speed with which the student is most comfortable - slow and steady or efficient and prolific. Above all else, I hope you can leave any session feeling more confident about your voice resonnating through your written work.
