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.

Hobbies

I love all things creative and I use this love of creativity to teach kids how to create academically strong work. I currently am the coordinator of the school band, fashion program, and a senior advisor. When I'm not at work I design t-shirts and hoodies for local sports teams and organizations. You may catch me torching some metals for jewelry-making or designing/sewing something new. I also love, love, love, to read and being silly with my family...those are my favorite hobbies of all!!
