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 Monmouth University graduate with a Bachelors degree in Communications, concentrating in Journalism and Public Relations. While at Monmouth University, I also double minored in Sociology and Gender Studies. It was these minors that inspired me to look for a profession that would allow me to combine my love and reading and writing with public service and also help me make a lasting impact on society. What better profession would allow me to make a difference everyday than teaching? With that in mind, I returned to school at Kean University where I majored in English and Secondary Education and obtained my post-baccalaureate teacher's certification. Since then I have had the opportunity and experience teaching students at every grade level, from 6-12 over the past five years. While I have tutored many subjects, my biggest passion is literature. I love helping students develop an appreciation and love for reading. I also enjoy teaching SAT prep, particularly Critical Writing and Reading because it is so rewarding to see students improve once I help them learn the tricks of the test! In the summer there is no place I'd rather be than the beach and in my spare time I try to read for pleasure as much as possible, particularly young adult, science fiction, and dystopian novels.
