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

With over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring, I have a deep passion for fostering students' love of literature and writing. I earned my PhD in English from the University of Iowa, where I also completed my Master's degree, and I hold a Bachelor's in English from Hendrix College, where I also focused on philosophy and classics. My expertise spans AP English Language and Literature, College English, and Creative Writing, allowing me to cater to diverse student needs. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment that encourages critical thinking and self-expression. I take pride in helping students not only improve their writing skills but also discover their unique voices. Outside the classroom, I love to read and write fanfiction, check out live music, sing to my dog while I cook, and go to as many baseball games as possible.

Hobbies

I love to read--especially philosophy, short story collections, and detective novels set in Victorian England. I am a huge baseball fan and want to visit each major league stadium--so far I've been to 13. I love live music, and have traveled to different states to see my favorite bands perform. My friends often use me as a beta-reader (or, editor) for their fanfiction.
