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.

Susan: Reading tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an ESL educator specializing in language and reading instruction for both adults and children. I have tutored ESL children for over a decade and was also an adult ESL instructor at the local community college for a few years. I enjoy helping adults and children learn English in a way that works for them!

During my first time with an individual, I do a reading assessment to identify their language and reading needs. In addition to children's assessments, I communicate with the student's parents and teachers to learn of any specific concerns and recommendations. I then customize an improvement plan for each person's learning style.

My lessons are fun and use many ways to learn - listening, speaking, reading, writing, and games. I use easy-to-understand materials that help students feel good about learning English. I am knowledgeable of all elementary school subjects, as well as help with homework and school projects.

All of my past and present students have been extremely successful and have learned to read and write with confidence. Let me help you or your child learn English. Contact me to start your journey today!
