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.

I am a graduate of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages (French and German. I also received a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a Masters of Liberal Arts. Since graduation, I wrote about arts and entertainment for The Dallas Times Herald Newspaper, owned my own public relations company, and led the Dallas Art Dealers Association. After those careers, I opted to become a middle school teacher at a public school. I have teaching certification in English, ESL, and TEFL. I retired this summer so I could become a full-time tutor. My volunteer experiences include teaching refugees from Africa and being a literacy tutor for adults. I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I believe education is the key. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, yoga, sailing and reading.
