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.

Dana

Certified Tutor

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree at York University, where I majored in Political Science. I then went on to receive my Bachelor of Education a later year at York University. I then went out into the world of education for 3 years before earning my Master's Degree in Education at York University.

I have tutored students as young as 1st grade, and high school students too, but my main concentrations have been with grades 3-8. I am currently in my 17th year of teaching and still enjoy every moment of it. It is a wonderful experience to help students learn, many of whom just need a little guidance, confidence, or an understanding at how to look at a problem a little differently. My main subject areas are English, Writing, Public Speaking, Math, Science and Organizational and Study Skills.

One of my strengths as both a teacher and tutor, is to take difficult subjects or concepts and make them easier to understand. I am completely dedicated to helping students get better. I like teaching and learning to be fun, because I have seen that students learn more if they are enjoying what they are being taught.

I look forward to working with you and helping you learn more and improve in your areas of academic interest.
