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

Hello, my name is Sara and I'm happy to have the opportunity to meet you and look forward to helping you succeed in your studies!

I have been an elementary school teacher for 7 years. I've spent a little over a year of that time in a traditional school setting while the remaining time I've taught virtually! During my time as on online teacher, I've taught grades K-4 and all subject areas. I've had the pleasure of teaching math only for the past two and a half years of my career, an opportunity that has allowed me to really grow as a mathematician myself!
As for my tutoring experience, I just this year have begun tutoring a student, specifically in mathematics, and have really enjoyed our time together!

I hold a Masters of Science in Elementary Education as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Elementary Education from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN.

Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy exercising and anything outdoors-especially hiking and camping. I also consider myself an amateur baker, and love to bake cakes for any and all occasions. Outside of my hobbies, I of course enjoy spending my time with my family-I have two children with my husband of 9 years and our two crazy but lovable cats.
