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.

Nicole: Bradenton tutor

Certified Tutor

Teaching is my passion. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school. I received my bachelor's degree in child study at St. Joseph's College. My teaching experience includes numerous student teaching assignments, employment as a teacher's assistant in a summer learning program, and informal tutoring of friends and family. I am also currently a teacher at a day care learning center. The subjects that I tutor include algebra, elementary and middle school math, homework help, reading, and writing. All of the aforementioned subjects are subjects I enjoy teaching very much. I love to read and write, which makes teaching those subjects so much easier and more enjoyable. I also love math ,and I love to figure out ways to help students understand certain concepts. I believe there is no better feeling than helping a child to understand and utilize new concepts. As a tutor, I will work with each student based on his or her interests and strengths. I will help to foster understanding, and to make learning fun. I will help boost each student's confidence in each subject, and make each student proud of their achievements.
