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.

Hollye

Certified Tutor

I have an undergrad degree in English from Midwestern State University and a master's in School Counseling from University of Texas Tyler. I'm currently working through the last few classes needed for licensure as a Professional Counselor. Next year I will begin naturopathic medical school. (Counseling will keep me from being a poverty-stricken med student!) As you can see, I am a life-long learner who likes to plan ahead.

I taught high school for almost 10 years, including one year teaching GED classes in a small state prison. I also taught College level Basic Writing, an essay writing class. Although my degree is in English, I have spent more time teaching my minor, History. I love teaching history. The interactions between the major players and the rebels always fascinates me. The political and economic forces at work during World History also made me a great Government and Economics teacher.

Grammar and sentence mechanics are among my strengths. I am a pro at teaching essay writing and editing. It's my nerd superpower! My teaching and tutoring style is very student-centered. I invest in knowing how my students learn and what style of teaching works best for them. I like to think I have a great sense of humor and it helps the process.

My hobbies outside of teaching include knitting and crochet. I also have my own small costume stop where I create cosplay and theatrical costumes. Garment construction is a lot like writing an essay. The key to success is in the planning!
