About Me

I have been teaching at the high school and university level for the past ten years. My students have consistently achieved significant growth on the ACT English, ACT Reading, and Common Core tests. In schools where students had never passed AP scores, over 45 of my students scored 3s, 4s, and 5s on the AP US History, AP English Language, and AP US Government exams. With the right motivation, I believe that all students can achieve excellence in all subject areas. All students can thrive with individual attention and instruction, and that is why I'm thrilled to be a part of Varsity Tutors.

Q&A with Lyndsay

My teaching is guided by a focus on rigor, relevance, and risk-taking. First, the curriculum must meet the student at their level, and then push them further. Second, students will only be motivated to learn if they understand the relevance and importance of what they are learning. Finally, authentic learning requires that students take risks, and this will only occur when students feel safe to explore new ideas and make mistakes. I know that students must trust me before they can learn from me, so this is my first task as a teacher.
