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.

Allison

Certified Tutor

As a dedicated educator with a Master's and EdS in Elementary Education and over nine years of teaching experience, I am passionate about fostering a love for reading in my students. I am currently teaching 5th grade, but I have previously taught 1st grade and 4th grade. I have honed my skills in tailoring lessons to meet individual needs, drawing on my extensive classroom experience. My approach is student-centered, utilizing patience and creativity to engage learners, particularly in reading and phonics, where I focus on building confidence and comprehension. I believe that effective tutoring not only enhances academic skills but also nurtures a student's overall self-esteem. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new literature and sharing my love for reading with others, which further enriches my teaching practice.
