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

As an educator I have made it my personal goal to find out everything I can about how students learn to read.
As a result of that I am working toward certification in Orton-Gillingham methods. I have a reading endorsement and I stay current on all the newest reading research.
Warren Buffet once said that knowledge is a skyscraper. You can take a shortcut with a fragile foundation of memorization, or build slowly upon a steel frame of understanding. I believe that building that foundation starts with foundational strategies and foundational skills. When we utilize a framework for building knowledge and use proven and researched strategies we can then begin to build a framework for gaining knowledge. It takes work and perseverance to reach a goal...learning doesn't happen overnight. If you are willing to put in the work, I am willing to help you every step of the way!
