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 graduate of Southern New Hampshire University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English from Brooklyn College with a focus on Journalism Print Media. Since graduation, I have worked as a paraprofessional in NY, a Substitute Teacher in NJ and an Honors English Teacher here in Florida. I've tutored students while working in Youth development and help adults obtain their GED. I am now a certified English 6-12 Teacher here in Florida where I teach at a charter school that caters to students ages 15-24. At this time I only tutor English but I have tutored History while working in youth development. I am most passionate about English, Literature and Creative Writing. I've helped many students prepare for standardized test and it's a joy to see reach their goals. Helping students write essays that meets success criteria is one of the things I'm mostly proud of. I teach them to write for an A+ and often they become great writers at a mastery level. I believe that if given the chance and resources all students can excel academically. This way they are set up for a promising future because of academic success. During my spare time I enjoy reading by the pool (because I'm a constant believer in continuously educating myself to become a better version of me), writing poetry and helping others.
