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

My passion is teaching science - I find helping students learn hugely rewarding.

I completed an undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge University (UK), which gave me the fabulous opportunity to study a broad range of sciences in detail. I completed my teaching degree at Oxford University (UK) a couple of years later. Having completed my teaching qualifications, I had a number of very rewarding years teaching Biology and Chemistry to high school students before moving to Seattle for my husband's job in 2008. In addition to my teaching experience, I have tutored a number of students in the UK, adapting my tutoring to work well with a student's individual learning style. Since residing in Seattle, I have volunteered at the library and zoo, and I have helped at a homework club at the local YMCA dealing with a range of age groups and subjects, encouraging students to achieve their full potential

I am currently staying at home with my two little girls. It has been a real adventure finding new and interesting ways to explain the world around us in the simplest language to my young children. I enjoy the questions they ask when their concepts of how things work are just forming. I try to encourage the students I tutor to ask "why?" and give them the confidence to undertake their own independent research.

I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors that the Pacific Northwest offers; I also love reading, singing, playing netball, and spending time with my family. I have recently taken up running and enjoy the challenges it presents.
