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 LOVE my subject! I strive to improve overall comprehension of the subject matter in ways that will facilitate the student's ability to consistently and comprehensively present/apply the information they have learned. I "meet students where they are". My initial goal is to accurately identify where the student is in relation to Bloom's taxonomy of educational learning objectives. I then facilitate the evolution of their learning process in ways that allow them to advance throughout the learning continuum.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?
