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 am an experienced educator with a background in special education and school leadership. I hold a degree in Special Education and have spent over a decade supporting students with diverse learning needs, including those with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, intellectual disabilities and executive functioning challenges. I've served as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and assistant director, and I'm especially passionate about helping students build confidence and make meaningful academic progress.

While I tutor a variety of subjects, I'm especially drawn to reading intervention, writing support, and executive functioning skills. I love helping students discover tools that make reading less frustrating and writing more accessible. I also enjoy working with parents and caregivers to bridge school-home communication and build collaborative plans for student success.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in relationship-building, student-centered strategies, and a deep belief in each learner's potential. I value flexibility, and creative problem-solving, and I tailor my tutoring approach to each student's unique strengths and goals.
