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 certified teacher of English and Social Studies subjects and have been teaching and tutoring for the past eight years. My approach is to help students recognize their strengths and to utilize them to fill gaps in understanding and to work on emerging skills. I believe that there is no single right way to learn and I am committed to helping my students use their existing skills and develop those that require attention in order to experience success.
