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 Education from Seattle University, I have dedicated over 24 years to teaching students from kindergarten to eighth grade, with a focus on reading, writing, and phonics. My experience includes over 20 years of tutoring, where I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of literacy. I employ a student-centered approach that fosters a supportive learning environment, helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

I find immense joy in seeing my students make progress, and I am particularly motivated by the opportunity to ignite a love for reading and writing. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading, cheering on my son at high school basketball games, walking my dog, and visiting Disney parks, all of which enrich my perspective as an educator.

Hobbies

I love to travel, camp, and spend as much time outdoors as possible. As one of 5 children (and the only girl) I also love to spend time with my large extended family. I am a voracious reader, and easily read 1-2 books a week, more in the summer!
