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 am a graduate student in Educational Psychology at North Carolina State University. I have taught, tutored and coached students at different levels in a variety of settings. Currently, I teach in the Psychology Department at North Carolina Central University. I primarily teach Statistics and Research Methods courses.

I really enjoy Math and Math-based subjects... I have successfully tutored graduate students, college students, and high school students in Stat, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and math subjects through AB Calculus.

I hold a Master of Public Health degree. I worked for many years as a Health Economist in Big Pharma. I have a lot of experience with statistical analyses and Health Science.

Also, I hold an undergraduate Chemistry degree, so I can help with Chemistry, Biology, and Physics too.

I have experience as a tutor-mentor with student-athletes at a university; which is essential academic coaching. Also, I have taught academic study skills to undergraduate students.

I have been successful at encouraging and empowering students who were having academic difficulties by teaching them how to rely on the strengths of their learning styles, time-management, reading methods, note-taking methods, SMART goal setting, celebrating successes, and navigating challenges. I am extremely organized and energetic. I also know how to be empathetic while maintaining high expectations.
