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?

Usually, it is a lot of translating from one language to the other and systematically going through each sentence so that the student understands the relationship between all the words within the sentence. This is usually done with written sentences I come up with using the specific vocabulary he or she is working with at the time.
