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 journalism student at the University of Florida, I am passionate about helping students navigate the intricacies of the English language, particularly in adult literacy and ESL contexts. With experience teaching adult learners, including those with diverse linguistic backgrounds, I focus on meeting students where they are and fostering a supportive, dialogue-rich environment that encourages exploration and understanding. My teaching philosophy balances explicit instruction with opportunities for implicit learning, ensuring that every student can leverage their existing knowledge. I believe that every individual's unique voice contributes to their storytelling ability, and I am committed to helping them express it. Whether it's through essay editing or enhancing reading comprehension, I strive to create a collaborative learning experience that ignites a love for language and storytelling.

Hobbies

I'm an avid reader. I listen to and read NPR everyday. My favorite books right now are "Sirens of Titan" by Kurt Vonnegut and "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler. I love to be out in nature! I go to the springs as often as I can with my friends, to the beach or trails. I also spend time watching TV or playing games while hanging out with my cat.
