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 am an engaging and effective elementary and middle school literacy and mathematics tutor with years of experience, including as a certified teacher.

I truly enjoy facilitating a child's learning. The one-on-one or small group attention students receive from a good tutor is a wonderful enhancement to their educational growth. I am a big believer in using models and manipulatives that aid in strengthening mathematical understanding. I also find knowing and understanding students' different learning styles helps increase success in learning.

Being as literate as possible opens doors to so many more possibilities for any human. I remember a teenager I mentored years back say, "I'm not a reader. I don't like to read." He could read but he thought of reading as a hobby and one he wasn't interested in having. If you can read then you are a reader! Some texts we "have" to read as part of various responsibilities but we can all love to read the texts and genres that interest us.
