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

Hello! I hope to meet you soon in a tutoring or learning session. I'm interested in you, your ideas, and where you want to go as a student.

I have lots of teaching experience in many different areas, but no matter the subject, I always like to help students learn how to better express their thoughts. I can help you with everything from finding resources on line, to structuring a paper, and to cite your work, if required.

If you need help with grammar, understanding what you are reading, or just "getting a handle" on an assignment, I can help you figure those things out, too.

I look forward to meeting you!

Hobbies

It's actually hard for me to think of what I am NOT interested in because most subjects intrigue me. I like to hike, cook, read, write, sing, and explore topics like archeology, astro-physics, history, movies, and politics. Most of all, I'm interested in being a useful person to those who would like to improve their lives . . . ;)
