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.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I always teach the student that is in front of me that day.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I like to get to know how a student thinks, specifically how a student thinks through the problem solving process. So, we will solve problems and I will ask prompting questions.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I facilitate the problem-solving process by prompting the student with questions. The student learns to be more independent when they can start asking themselves those questions before I have the chance to!

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Keep it interesting!

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I would take a few steps back in the content to build back up to the original question. I would also make sure the student has a chance to ask more questions and gain full clarity.

What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?

Getting to know each other and how the other thinks!

What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?

I would ask a variety of questions and have the student explain the journey to their answer.
