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.

Shelby: Hoffman Estates tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello! I am a middle/high school science teacher in Connecticut. I love teaching because I get to help students and share my passion of science with them.
I have a Bachelors in Biology, a Masters in Special Education, and I am working on my 6th year for Dyslexia Intervention.
I have been teaching for 5 years, as well as tutoring after school and on the weekends. Most of the tutoring I have done has been in math, elementary through high school, and high school science classes.
Outside of teaching and tutoring I love to read and go hiking when the weather is nice. If you need a book recommendation I have got you covered!
