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 am a middle school math teacher with 6 years of experience teaching in the classroom. I also have tutored students from kindergarten through college for 10 years.
I hold a master's degree in Mathematics Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. I am also a certified teacher in secondary mathematics.
My educational philosophy is firmly founded in the belief that every child can and will learn, and that it is my job as the teacher to determine what each student needs to be successful. My favorite part of teaching and tutoring is guiding students towards that "a-ha" moment.
