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 love helping students connect to the material they find challenging. I started working with students in 2019 when I began working as a substitute teacher in a local K-12 school system. Later, I worked as a kindergarten behavior assistant/instructional assistant. I first began tutoring students when I was a junior in high school, and I have taught a college-level newspaper reporting class. My teaching philosophy is to create a student-centered learning environment, and I focus on active learning.

I have a bachelor's degree in journalism with an outside concentration in English from Indiana University Bloomington. In 2009, I earned my master of arts degree from Indiana University Bloomington in journalism research. From 2019-2021, I studied elementary education with a concentration on ESL at Marian University, and I earned 40 credits toward the degree, including. Currently, I am studying strategic human resources at the University of Denver.

When I'm not tutoring, you can find me studying, baking, or reading for fun. I live with my husband of 13 years, and our two cats, Yoshi and Nerf. I love going to the zoo, and recently I had a private session with a sloth. I'm looking forward to my next adventure with an aardvark or perhaps an elephant.
