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 earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Maryland at College Park. I earned the Middle School Math Endorsement shortly after. I am currently working on earning a Master's Degree in Curricular and Instruction with an Administrative track from McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland. I have tutored for over ten years now. As a high school student, I tutored friends and family in all subjects. I began tutoring other college students during my four years at Maryland. In my senior year of college, I became a corrective reading tutor while working with the Kennedy Krieger Institute. After college, I became a middle school math teacher in Charles County. I have taught various levels from the basic level to the accelerated/advanced levels as well as Algebra II. I also have tons of other experience working with students. I have sponsored a mentoring club for a select group of students after school as well as currently tutoring students. Currently, I tutor all levels of elementary and middle school math as well as Algebra II and Geometry. I am also currently serving as a pre-college mentor for a few family members, helping them navigate the college selection, application, and financial aid processes. I am a huge math nerd! I absolutely love tutoring math. I love solving math equations myself. I know it sounds weird, but I really love all math topics. Math is so much fun for me! Typically you follow rules and the answer just happens, this is awesome! I also love tutoring/ guiding students through the college selection experience. As one of the first members of my family to earn a college degree, I had very few mentors and went about the process blindly. I decided I wouldn't allow anyone else I knew go through the same thing. I began working as a pre-college mentor while at Maryland and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I am a very hands on type of teacher. I love to cut, sort, glue, color, etc during my lessons. I try to incorporate all these things into my tutoring when possible. I also like to provide a lot of practice with each skill. I try to provide my own problems for my students to help them get used to the skill. I also like to help my students think of shortcuts for each skill. I like to show multiple ways to solve the problems so students have a wide range of options to choose from. My love for school sometimes extends outside of the classroom. I love to read so I'm not a complete math geek. I play volleyball and love all things football and basketball. Of course I am a huge online shopper and I like to call myself an Ebay master! In addition to those things, I like to watch movies and go out to eat.
