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

As far as my education, I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Physiology from Penn State University and a Master's Degree in Molecular Biology from Drexel University. I also obtained teaching certification for secondary biology and chemistry.

Currently I teach at Temple University, and have taught at various institutions within the Philadelphia area for the past 12 years. During this time, I have held numerous study sessions and office hours to help students in a small group or an individual basis.

My favorite subjects to teach are general biology, anatomy/physiology, microbiology and test prep courses (particularly the math section).

As far as interests outside of academia, I am an avid sports fan, and am in my glory right now during March Madness! I also like to cook, bake, do jigsaw puzzles and volunteer my time (right now at a no-kill cat shelter).
