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 just get it the way you explain it" is a refrain I cherish in my teaching experience. I have taught all middle school academic subjects even though my degrees are in music. A passionate learner myself, I strive to share that with my students. Whether leading a classroom, instructing my own children, or teaching private music lessons, personalizing and customizing the learning experience is and always has been the ultimate goal. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in music performance which I eventually used to get my teaching certification. I am certified to teach middle school math (including algebra), ELA, and science; math is my passion. When not teaching, I love to travel. On my bucket list are seeing the brown bears in Katmai, Alaska and polar bears in Churchill, Canada as well as Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. I cherish working with learners, facilitating the skills that will help them open doors that will maximize their potential to positively engage in our world.
