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.

Colleen

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of University of Richmond. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Leadership Studies, with a minor in Latin American and Iberian Studies, graduating Summa Cum Laude. I am currently pursuing my teacher's license, through the University of Richmond School of Professional and Continuing Studies. I also work in the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) at University of Richmond, as a Fellow for Educational Programming and Mentoring.

I have been tutoring since I was in high school, from my own siblings and fiends to clients in school-based settings. I am currently a reading tutor for two elementary school students. My favorite subjects to tutor are English and Social Studies. I love essay writing, grammar, history and government!

I believe all students can and should learn, and love learning. I believe in creating high expectations for all students, and doing my part to prepare them to thrive in the classroom. I work hard to empower my students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, while encouraging them to develop the intrinsic motivation that is critical to becoming a lifelong learner.

In my free time, I like to be outside, whether it's hiking in the mountains or sunbathing at the beach in my hometown! I also love to bake cookies, breads, and all sorts of sweet treats!
