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 am a Florida Certified Teacher. I am a proud graduate of Florida Atlantic University, with my Bachelor's degree in Early Care and Education. I have taught first grade at a Title One school for the past three years. I have worked with a diverse group of English Language Learners, as well as students with special needs (ESE). I am passionate about helping struggling readers. I have tackled the challenge of filling the educational gaps of students who are behind grade level expectations. I focus on individual goal setting for students, in order to encourage personal and academic growth. My favorite subject to teach is anything English Language Arts (ELA). I most enjoy phonics, phonological awareness, and reading comprehension. One of the most gratifying experiences is seeing a student have their "light bulb" moment. Their light is turned on, they are confident and ready to learn.
