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.

Kimberly

Certified Tutor

I've been teaching English/Language Arts for nearly 20 years. My teaching experience has included both elementary and middle school subjects: history, language arts and science. I have an equal number of years teaching 5th grade all subjects as well as 7th grade ELA and Science.

Prior to working in education, I was a journalist, so I love to help students tell a story, organize their thoughts and put together powerful pieces of writing.

When I'm not teaching, I'm probably outside in my garden, down by the pool, or in a lake somewhere. I love spending time with my grown children and with my two pups. I'm also teaching myself to quilt.
