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 hold a B.A. in Liberal Arts and a Master's in Early Childhood, Childhood and Children with Disabilities. I embarked on a career as a teacher because I love the rewarding experience it brings to help impact a child's life in a positive way.

I value education and believe each child deserves the most priceless and valuable education possible in order to become successful adults.

Additionally, I am New York State certified to teach general education birth-grades 6. Since graduating from my Master's program I have gained a lot of experience teaching pre-k up to high school. My favorite subject and strongest subject to teach is English Language Arts.

My expertise lies primarily with elementary grades where I excel in stimulating and guiding children to master literacy.

I also taught at a preschool called The Goddard School where I taught ages 2-4 years old. I created lesson plans to help develop their cognitive development/math skills, sensory/motor skills through creative art and language arts. They performed hands-on activities as well as through music/movement. They also learned about science and nature.

I love being a tutor because I enjoy forming relationships with children by helping them learn and grow.

In addition, I have excellent reading and writing skills. I also have a high vocabulary. I am a content writer and have my own blog. I welcome the opportunity to tutor students of all grade levels who need help in reading comprehension, research papers, and essay writing. I have a passion for books and creative writing.

My hobbies include fashion, travel, exercise, reading and writing.
