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.

Hobbies

I’m a former Division I ice hockey player with a lifelong passion for learning, coaching, and helping others reach their full potential. I bring the same energy and discipline from the rink to my work with students—whether it’s tutoring academics, mentoring young athletes, or supporting personal growth. I currently coach youth hockey and serve on the board of a local swim team, where I love being part of a strong, supportive community. Outside of sports and tutoring, you’ll often find me baking (pies are my specialty!) or enjoying live music. I aim to bring focus, encouragement, and a bit of fun to every session.
