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

ANY CHILD CAN LEARN
My philosophy to teaching is to teach my students HOW they learn. It is not up to my student to adjust to my teaching. I feel very strongly that if my teaching is not working, it is up to me to adjust to the learning style of my student. I follow the "Growth Mindset" that each child given enough time and energy can learn ANYTHING.
I have been teaching for 15 years overseas. I taught in Indonesia, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. The majority of the time I spent was in Saudi Arabia working for Saudi Aramco. I enjoy learning about new cultures...obviously. I also have my Masters in International Counseling from Lehigh University and I am two classes away from my second Masters in School Counseling from Concordia University in Wisconsin. Currently, I live in Texas as we moved here when my husband was transferred from Saudi Arabia. I have five beautiful children and I come from a family of ten. Thus, I have tremendous experience in the communication department:)
