Who needs tutoring?
What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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

I have a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Foreign language for French and Spanish from the University of Maryland and a Masters for Reading from SUNY Cortland.
I have a passion for languages and cultures and enjoy helping students to communicate in French and Spanish as well as enjoy the rich cultures associated with these languages.
I am an experienced brick and mortar and online French and Spanish teacher. I have been teaching for 38 years and have enjoyed helping students learn, practice and find success with languages.
I grew up in Europe and love to travel discouvering cultures and learning about the people.

I find it is important to learn from my students about their goals, their learning styles and how they think I can help them. I try to vary activities to benefit different learning styles and am ready to adapt if what I am doing does not seem to be helping my students.
