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.

Penelope: Lawrence tutor

Certified Tutor

My name is Penny and I am a retired educator. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education with a concentration in Language Based Learning Disabilities. I have done many things during my 30 years in education from classroom teacher to high school principal. I have also worked in administration at the community college level. With all these opportunities, I think my favorite is the time I have spent one-on-one with students helping them learn to read and understand what they have read. I am Orton-Gillingham trained and certified and not only have I used OG extensively but I have taught other teachers to use OG. I am excited about having the ability to continue my work with students who learn differently.
