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.

Maria: Plymouth tutor

Certified Tutor

I have a B.A. in biology from Smith College and an M.A. in Science Education from the University of Central Florida. I am also currently working on my doctoral degree in educational psychology.

I am passionate about biological sciences and I love to find ways to make complex concepts accessible and easy to understand. My teaching focuses on the application of concepts to solve problems and interpret data. I am especially skilled in tapping into students' prior knowledge to bridge what they already know about a topic with what they need to learn.

I have been teaching biological sciences for over 25 years, including such varied subjects as general biology, zoology, anatomy and physiology, marine science, and AP Biology.
