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 passionate educator with a Master's in Environmental Science and Policy from Johns Hopkins University, I bring over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, specializing in elementary school reading and general sciences. My teaching centers around adopting a supportive and engaging environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential. I believe that every child learns differently, and I tailor my approaches to meet their unique needs, using interactive and relatable methods to ignite their love for reading and science. Witnessing my students' growth and confidence in literacy drives my commitment to teaching. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy hiking and exploring nature, which often inspires my lessons and connects my students to the world around them.
