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

Helping students grow in confidence and skill is one of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring. I'm passionate about education because I believe every student deserves the opportunity to reach their potential, and sometimes all it takes is the right support and encouragement to get there. Guiding someone through a concept they once found frustrating, until it clicks, is a moment I never tire of experiencing.

I've had the privilege of working with students in a variety of settings, from one-on-one tutoring sessions to leading group study workshops. These experiences have allowed me to adapt my teaching approach to meet individual learning styles, whether a student needs a patient breakdown of fundamentals or a challenge to push their critical thinking further. I especially enjoy working with students who may be struggling or doubting themselves, I see every session as a chance to build not just academic skills, but confidence and motivation as well.

My educational background is in psychology and sociology, with a strong foundation in writing, reading comprehension, and analytical thinking. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including English, writing, social studies, and test prep, but my favorite subject to tutor is writing. Whether it's crafting a strong thesis statement or organizing ideas clearly, I love helping students find their voice and communicate with impact.

My tutoring philosophy is rooted in empathy, patience, and adaptability. I aim to create a supportive learning environment where students feel safe to make mistakes and grow from them. My style is interactive and student-centered, rather than lecturing, I ask guiding questions, encourage reflection, and work collaboratively toward understanding.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy creative writing, reading literature from around the world, and spending time in nature. These interests help me stay curious and engaged, which I bring into every session with the hope of inspiring the same curiosity in my students.
