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.

Wendy: Niles tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated with a degree in Biological Sciences, a minor in chemistry and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I have been teaching science for 15+ years. II am passionate about helping students learn how they learn best and to give strategies for success. I have worked with all levels of students and develop a learning approach catered to the individual's learning style.
I have taught and tutor Anatomy and Physiology, AP Biology, Biology, Chemistry and Honors Chemistry. I am very comfortable with teaching this material as well as helping students with study strategies.

My teaching style aims to meet the student where they are at, develop a plan and utilize different learning modalities in order to achieve a student's perception of success. I like to use humor, real life examples and have a good balance between working hard and enjoying the subject. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my four kids, outdoor activities, and reading.
