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.

Cathy: Costa Mesa tutor

Certified Tutor

I have been a teacher for 18 years. During this time, I have taught Middle School Math and Science, as well as Special Education and Gifted classes. I am passionate about teaching and helping students learn, and I am a strong believer that students do best when they learn in a way that best suits them. I have taught Math for 17 years of my teaching career, and Math is also my favorite subject to teach.

I work hard to determine where student weaknesses are and to develop ways to meet the student where he/she is and help fill in gaps and be successful with the material.

Currently I am certified to teach Math and Science grades 5-8, Special Education grades Pk-12, and Gifted grades Pk-12.

I am offering tutoring in the subjects of Math and Science. I work with students to help develop a plan that will best suit their needs.

I believe building relationships with students and earning their respect and trust is the best way to begin teaching them the material. I would begin by assessing what they already know, one or two concepts at a time. I would use this information to develop a plan for your child. I would love the opportunity to work with your child to help them meet their academic goals.
