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.

Shannon

Certified Tutor

I went to Converse College for my BA in Chemistry and the University of South Carolina for my PhD in physical chemistry. I taught at the College of Charleston for 7 years and earned tenure before leaving to be with my husband and start a family. I have also taught for 3 years at Thomas Nelson Community College. While we were stationed in Germany, I tutored both high school and college students. I love teaching chemistry. It is a subject that sometimes is avoided or feared by students and my goal is to help them feel more confident and succeed. So much of what holds us back from learning a subject is lack of confidence. Many of my students have responded well to breaking concepts down into patterns, lots of practice and visual examples when possible. I highly encourage questions and I ask a lot of questions myself to determine where a student is having trouble. Besides chemistry, I love to jog and I just started CrossFit which has been challenging in a good way. I look forward to meeting new students and helping them succeed in chemistry.
