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 currently hold two degrees from two top universities in Texas, a B.A. in English Rhetoric and Composition and a M.A. in Applied Linguistics. I have extensive experience tutoring and teaching students from all over the world in various areas of study: SAT reading and writing test prep, reading comprehension, developmental writing, ESL conversational english, ESL academic/professional writing, ESL reading fluency, English literary studies and essay writing. I use task-based and social constructivist methods of tutoring and teaching so that the student is engaging with the material as deeply as possible. I also find that this approach is more enjoyable for both students and myself. I absolutely love all things language and literature, and enjoy guiding students of all ages toward developmental success in these areas. I look forward to working with you!
