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


I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Writing Seminars. After completing my undergraduate degree, I accepted a position as a full-time Literacy Intervention Tutor with the Literacy Lab. In this position, I conducted daily tutoring sessions with students in Kindergarten-Third Grade.

After working with the Literacy Lab for 2 years, I joined Teach for America and gained valuable teaching experience.

I currently work as a Behavior Technician with Trellis Services, providing Applied Behavioral Analysis interventions to children with Autism.

I am a determined and objective-driven professional with experience:
administering assessments to identify the student's academic and skill level.
implementing systematic, research-based interventions.
tailoring instruction to the developmental and academic level of the student.
collecting and analyzing data to make informed instructional decisions.

I am passionate about helping students develop the critical skills they need to succeed in their future educational and occupational pursuits. I love helping my students realize their potential and accomplish their goals.

Although my professional experience has been predominantly with elementary school students, I am qualified to tutor students of any age in English Language Arts, English Literature, Writing, Psychology, and Social Sciences.
