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.

Essence: Peoria tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. I completed my Master's of Business Administration. Prior to that I attended the University of Washington, where I completed my Bachelor's of Science in Biology and a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology. Starting before I completed my Bachelor's, I have been working with students to demystify learning. I have volunteered my time to help teenagers in underserved communities prepare for ACT and SAT testing. I also worked with small groups of elementary school students who were identified as performing below their grade levels. I am a firm believer in teaching a student how they learn. Each student is different and requires a different approach and a tutor must be flexible to be effective.
