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 believe that all students can succeed, and a good teacher's job is to find what makes students want to learn and ignite a love of learning in them.

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

Introduce myself and ask them to introduce themselves to me, and then share their goals.
