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.

What is your teaching philosophy?

Patience is the key to finding disconnects, and solving disconnects is the key to nurturing understanding.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I think it is always best to start with simple introductions and discussions about what interests them.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Generating an enthusiasm is the most important step to getting someone to become independent. Learning must not be seen as a chore.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Making things fun and not "workish" is important to keep someone engaged.
