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.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, with Honors in African and African American Culture, from the College of Liberal Arts at Penn State, University Park. I also have an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from Goddard College in Vermont.
Over the past ten years, I have worked as a tutor and teaching artist. I have taught urban, rural and suburban students creative ways to study, learn and achieve. I really enjoy helping students to understand literature and the writing process. I have had great success preparing for critical reading on exams and developing strategies for expanding vocabulary.
When I'm not teaching, you can find me practicing yoga, gardening, and reading about diverse cultures, the arts and politics.
I believe in education and most importantly, I believe in the unique genius that lies in every individual. I've tutored honors students in college preparatory programs as well learning disabled students in homeless shelters and I have found that with a little creativity, I can inspire anyone. Every student can learn. The challenge and reward for me is in discovering a student's individual learning style and converting that discovery into a strategy to help that student pass the test, do the writing, and make the grade.
