About Me

I am a recent graduate from the University of Arizona here in Tucson, Arizona. For my undergraduate studies, I majored in Ecology and Environmental Biology, with minors in Chemistry and Art History; I am in the process of applying for graduate school to study Environmental Sustainability. My love of nature and the outdoors really strengthened my desire to pursue a career in environmental science. Although science is what I have chosen to study, I am extremely strong in the areas of reading, writing, editing, history and general social studies. In high school I excelled in AP Composition, Literature, World History, and European History. My test scores from high school reflect a strong understanding of the material, and I also excelled at the SAT Subject Test for Literature. I have been working for Varsity for over 5 years, and have tutored a wide range of students of all ages. I am very comfortable with children who might be shy or nervous working with a tutor, as well as those who are not too enthused about having any extra work! My tutoring style involves incorporating not only the review of the material but also practice in how to take notes, become an active and engaged learner, and improve in critical thinking.

Q&A with Lorna

My goal is to work with each student on an individual level to figure out how they learn and retain information best, and then work to teach them the tools they need to succeed on their own. I aim to not only push information into my students, but to help them improve on how they listen and learn in class, take notes, study on their own, stay motivated and not get discouraged by difficult material or challenging concepts. If I can get them to enjoy learning, that is an additional plus!
