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

I am a recent graduate of the University of Montana’s Master of Fine Arts Creative Writing program where I edited a nationally recognized literary journal and a small press. I received my Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Bachelor of Arts in International Studies at the University of Iowa. Since graduating, I have done a wide-range of activities. I worked on the United States Senate Education Committee supporting major legislative reauthorizations; in particular, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, commonly known as No Child Left Behind, and other legislation aimed at improving education in America.

I am excited to help improve my students’ writing—I can help with all kinds of essays, literature analyses (especially American and British literature), admissions essays, and creative writing! I have a strong background in teaching writing—I have taught at the university level, as well as having worked with everyone from elementary-aged students to adults. Creative writing is my specialty and I am eager to help with poetry, fiction, or nonfiction!
