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.

Hobbies

Before having kids of my own, I used to teach English Language Arts full time. So I LOVE to read and write. But I also know that not everyone loves reading and writing, so I also enjoy helping others get better at it. In my spare time, I foster kittens for a local rescue. It's a super cute hobby - full of cuddles and purrs. It is very rewarding to help them - they start out as scared, undernourished felines and develop and flourish in a home full of love and TLC.
