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.

Joan: North Richland Hills tutor

Certified Tutor

My first teaching experiences were in college classrooms teaching art history at several colleges in the mid-Atlantic. I became a full-time pre-collegiate teacher after finishing my Masters Degree at Middlebury College in Vermont. This was a place where I could merge together my interests in literature, history, and theatre. My thesis focused on Theatre in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Since then I have taught IB Theatre and Humanities, especially literature and art history. I believe in life-long learning and I live that idea every day. It's important for me to learn something new every day and because I'm a teacher down to my toes, I like to share what I've learned. But, my favorite thing is helping students achieve their goals. I love to discover how a student learns and then share that information with them so that they can advocate for their own education moving forward. And, I love the process of helping students improve their writing skills.
