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

My philosophy of teaching is simple. I care about my students and I care about their learning. I retired from full-time teaching in June of 2022, but I found that I really missed connecting with and working with students. I taught high school math and computer programming for 33 years and want to continue helping students to learn and to achieve success. I earned my first bachelor's degree in 1987 (a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin with a major in computer science and minors in mathematics and French). After graduation, I worked as a systems analyst in the computer industry, but it just didn't suit my personality nor my desire to make a difference for others. I wanted to teach. So, I went back to college and got a Bachelor of Science degree from the UW with a major in math as well as teacher certification for math and computer science. During my first few years of teaching, I spent my summers and evenings earning a master's degree from the UW that focused on advanced math and advanced computer programming. I have loved teaching since my first day in a classroom and have never regretted the decision I made to change careers. I enjoy math and computer science a lot, but I love working with my students even more. I do feel like I make a difference to my students and that is what drives me to be the best teacher I can possibly be. I like tutoring a variety of subjects, but my favorites are probably AP Calculus and Computer Programming. When not teaching or tutoring, I like to spend time reading, hiking, crafting, and cooking.
