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 served as a classroom teacher in public, private, and charter schools, and am certified to teach both Preschool and Elementary. My favorite subjects to teach are Reading and Language Arts, because I feel that strengthening these areas can help students in all of their other subjects as well; by increasing their ability to process information and determine what they need to do in order to be successful, a student can then go on to succeed in all realms of academia.

I have tutored both privately and for tutoring centers. Even though my certification is with younger students and I am very strong in early reading skills, I have also been very successful with older students, finding where the gaps in their learning might be and helping to fill them.

I am very patient and encouraging, and students find right away that I care very much about helping them feel successful. I love finding new ways to make every topic we cover come alive for them, building strength and confidence.

I live with a very fun nine-year-old little boy and several furry friends. We love to go on adventures together! I'm looking forward to joining my students on their own learning adventure!
