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

As a graduate of Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor's degree in English, I am passionate about helping students enhance their writing skills, particularly in grammar and syntax. With over two years of tutoring experience as a peer writing tutor, I have successfully assisted college students and enjoy working with high school and middle school learners as well. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable expressing their needs. I tailor my lesson plans to align with their expectations, whether they face writer's block or need help structuring their papers. I believe that fostering a supportive learning atmosphere is key to academic success, and I am dedicated to helping students find their unique voice in writing. In my free time, I enjoy editing and content creation, which further fuels my enthusiasm for the English language.
