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 have been teaching History, Economics, Political Science/Government, English, Drama, Philosophy, and Film Studies for over 15 years. I taught at Tombstone High School where 50% of the students have IEPs and are Special Ed. I have taken and passed the Arizona state test for special education as well. Before that, I worked in show business for over twenty years as an actor, director, producer, casting director, and talent agent. I would most enjoy tutoring students in English and Film subjects.
