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 Doctorate in Comparative Literature from Purdue University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across diverse subjects, including ACT English, AP English Language and Composition, and Creative Writing. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and creativity. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, using engaging methods that inspire a love for learning. My passion for teaching stems from witnessing students achieve their academic goals and develop confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring poetry and languages, which enrich my teaching and connect me with my students on multiple levels.
