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.

Laura: Buckeye tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a life science teacher at Prairie High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have been teaching for 25 years (2 in the Chicagoland area and 23 in my native state) and have enjoyed it immensely. I enjoy fitness activities, DIY projects and spending time with my family and our three dogs. I am a mother of three college aged children and have found myself with some available time on my hands and am looking for a rewarding challenge.

I am very comfortable working remotely and I would like to reach out and assist other students by supporting their science education. Because of my comfort level with general education as well as special education high school students, I feel that I would be an asset to your tutoring team!
