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.

Hobbies

I love to travel, explore new places, spend time with my friends and family, and my passion is reading. I love to read all genres of books, and enjoy learning about history, people, and adventures. I also love spending time with my little dog, Mea, a very lively and friendly Shih Tzu. I also love to swim and have been teaching swimming lessons since I was 16 years old. Fun fact about me: I collect magnets from all around the world. I collect magnets from where I have traveled, and my friends and family send me magnets from their travels. I have two sides of a filing cabinet filled with magnets.
