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.

Kate

Certified Tutor

I graduated May 2014 from Washington University in St. Louis with a BA in Drama. I am now training as a Teaching Apprentice at the Seattle Children's Theatre. I tutor mainly humanities courses, including essay writing and editing, SAT and other test prep, psychology, social sciences, public speaking, literature, English, and theater courses. I graduated from high school with an International Baccalaureate diploma and completed my Extended Essay in the topic of Drama, so I tutor those courses as well!

My teaching philosophy is one of dialogue - I believe that learning is a journey, and I want to help my students find their way to the joy of discovery that comes with confidence in their knowledge and their acquisition of knowledge.

When not tutoring, I love all things theatrical - I am particularly drawn to improvisation. I also ride horses, and am an active volunteer at various animal rights organizations. I am learning to knit, and I am a dog person!

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe teaching should be a dialogue between those in the room, with a focus on listening and trust. I hope my students see me as a collaborator, a source of support and encouragement. As a teacher, I believe that my job is to empower my students to find their voice - and to believe that whatever voice they find is good enough. I will push my students to find the balance between a pride and ownership of their own voice, and a constant push to learn more and expand their horizons.
