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 an educator I bring over twenty years of diverse teaching experience to my tutoring practice. I specialize in subjects such as College English, Adult Literacy, and Philosophy and test prep. I am passionate about empowering students through tailored learning experiences. My approach is student-centered; I assess each learner's unique style and comfort level, adapting my methods to foster a supportive environment that encourages growth. I believe in the lifelong journey of learning, and my goal is to help students build their skills and confidence, whether they are young learners mastering phonics or adults navigating digital literacy. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring art history, inspired by my daughter, a professional painter, which enriches my teaching perspective.
