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 have been a Colorado licensed elementary teacher for eleven years. Teaching all subjects makes me uniquely qualified to work with children in all subject areas. I have mainly taught intermediate elementary students. I am also skilled in helping students develop organizational and study skills that help to prepare them for middle school. My original Bachelor's degree is in Political Science. Next, I obtained my teaching license and a few years later I earned my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught English Language Learners, educationally challenged students, and gifted students. I have been recognized by Denver Public Schools for the high growth of my students. I believe that all children can learn if the teacher uses whatever is necessary to get the information to the child in a way that they can understand it.
I am originally from the Midwest but have lived in Colorado for many years now. I love the mountains and hike often. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and traveling. I'm sure that I can help your child reach their academic potential.
