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.

I believe in lifelong learning and am passionate about assisting others to achieve their academic goals and aspirations. I also know that the key to success is patience. I am a published author with a BA in Psychology and an Academic Writing Certificate from Queen's University. I have been a freelance writer for over 2 decades with several journalistic credits to my name. I facilitated a writers' critique group for novice and experienced writers for many years; one of my students went on to win a literary award for her memoir. As an RN, I provided health teaching for teens and new mothers. I am the recipient of a Canadian Achiever's Award and I find tutoring a thoroughly rewarding experience.

Hobbies

My love of history and fashion inspired me to establish a traveling millinery museum and author five books on vintage fashion as well as one about World War I. My idea of the perfect afternoon is to go home, after a treck in the woods, sip tea, and settle down to some cozy reading with a beloved dog close by.
