Hi Future Students and Parents! I'm Mrs. Novak and I work as a reading specialist in a public school. I have raised two children and I have a toddler granddaughter who calls me "Glama." I also have a cute dog named Emi. I will be retiring from my teaching job in June but I love working with kids and teaching, so I decided to continue doing that with Varisity Tutors! Let me ask you a question: how many of you don't like school because it is hard or just boring? Many students avoid school and learning because something is just a little bit hard to grasp or understand. I totally get it, but you know what? With the right strategies and teaching we can make the hard get a little easier each day; and by the time you know it , you will be transformed into a super learner! The power of good instruction, a good teacher, and belief in yourself is key to success in learning. Let's work together and transform you into the confident super learner you deserve to become! Mrs. Novak has taught 100's of kids to write, read, and learn in her 20 years of teaching and can't wait to teach a 100 more!
