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 dedicated educator with a Master's in Mathematics Education from City College of New York and a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Oberlin College, I have over 18 years of experience teaching mathematics and science to middle and high school students. My teaching philosophy emphasizes curiosity, empathy, and clarity, allowing me to create a nurturing environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore complex concepts. I specialize in Algebra 1 & 2, Pre-Algebra, and High School Biology, using real-world analogies and guided inquiry to make learning both engaging and relatable. I am particularly passionate about helping students transform anxiety into confidence, enabling them to see the relevance of their studies in everyday life. My approach is adaptive and student-centered, as I strive to meet learners where they are and empower them with the tools they need to succeed. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the intersection of science and art, which further enriches my interdisciplinary teaching style.
