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

For my teaching career, I spent 22 years in the Kansas City, Kansas School District 500. During that time I taught many various content areas due to being certified to teach K - 9. However, my first love was teaching reading, with a close second of English. Both of which I taught all 22 years. In addition, I am also a certified library media specialist.

The following are my degrees and location of my graduating institution:

AA: Stephens College; Columbia, MO. (Child Study)

BS: Southern Illinois University; Carbondale, IL (Photography/Radio - TV)

BS: Saint Mary's College (now University); Leavenworth, KS (Elementary Education)

MS: Emporia State University; Emporia, KS (Curriculum and Supervision)

And, along the way I have attended many other colleges/universities in order to achieve my degrees.

While I love school, reading was not my favorite class while growing up. In fact, I did not read my first book completely until 8th grade! Consequently, if you are not a fan of liking to read - I understand! I love to read now. As far as the writing aspect, I've worked hard to fine tune to my writing skills.

Along the way to where I am today, I have also had many types of other jobs: photographer, worked in a TV station, waitressing, and even cleaning houses - and many other jobs. With each one I give my best, no matter what the type of job. Currently, I am working at our town's public library. I love learning, meeting new people and trying new things. And - I miss teaching! For that reason I joined VT.

My hobbies include reading, crochet, and appreciating nature. Those are all easy to do since I moved back to my small town in which I grew up. After living 36 years in Kansas City, KS, I'm loving being "home".

As for my teaching style, I will give you my best and in return I am serious about wanting to help you become your best.
