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

Hello, there! I'm Toni, a college English professor looking to help you better engage with your learning interests! As a professor, my teaching style emphasizes active learning as a central component, aiming to make my classes more centered on students discovering the material and constructing their own knowledge. In teaching and tutoring, I see myself more as a facilitator of learning who provides students the necessary tools and direction for them to uncover the concepts themselves. Soon we will engage in this process of discovery together!

Before becoming a college professor, of course, I had to go to college myself. I graduated from the University of Dallas in Irving, first with my bachelor's in English and a concentration in Latin, and then later with a master's in English. I also attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where I earned my second master's in English. It was during graduate school that I first began tutoring, and shortly after I left SMU, I began teaching. Since then, I have taught English at the college level, especially composition and British literature.

Through my work as a professor and a tutor, I have had the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds, different age groups, and differing levels of achievement in their academic pursuits. As a professor, I teach in one of the largest and most culturally diverse community colleges in Texas, where my students range in age from dual enrollment high school students to retirees seeking a challenge. In my tutoring, I have worked with students from pre-school aged students to adult professionals on topics from test prep for the SAT or GRE, to simply reading and writing, as well as Latin, history, social studies, and more.

Every student can succeed, as long as they are given appropriate support. With my tutoring, I hope to offer that support so students stay motivated, stay focused, and achieve their goals. Soon enough, that student will be you!
