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 Allison Lagman, a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Elementary Education and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have a middle school endorsement in Language Arts. I currently teach 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA), focusing on grammar, mechanics, usage, vocabulary, language arts, and literature. I believe that strong reading and writing skills are foundational for academic success and lifelong learning. My approach is student-centered; I enjoy building meaningful relationships and tailoring lessons to meet individual needs through the use of interactive technology and scaffolding techniques. I am excited about the opportunity to expand my tutoring practice and work with students across different age groups as I continue to pursue my second master's degree in reading instruction.
