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


As a licensed Intervention Specialist with a Bachelor of Science in Special Education, I bring both passion and experience to the world of tutoring. With over three years of experience teaching middle school students at a specialized school for children with autism, I've worked closely with students facing challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia, learning disabilities, and emotional disorders.

I pride myself on building strong relationships with my students and tailoring each session to meet their individual needs. My teaching style integrates social-emotional learning, creating a supportive space where students can thrive both academically and personally. I have experience in academics, but I also have experience in teaching kid's social skills and emotional regulation.

Whether I'm helping with foundational reading skills, boosting confidence in math, or supporting executive functioning, I meet students where they are and help them grow at their own pace. I believe every student is capable of success with the right support, and I'm committed to making that happen.
