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.

Calvin

Certified Tutor

My teaching philosophy is to make the content interesting and above all to have fun. I believe we should all be free to make mistakes and to learn from them and along the way build the confidence to grow into learning.

I hold an M.A. from the American University's School of International Service in International Communications and a B.A. in Comparative Literature from the University of California at Irvine. I have approximately three years of teaching experience, completed at the College of New Rochelle and have tutored students as a volunteer in communications related courses. I enjoy courses that are in communications and writing because I believe in the changing global economy the next generation of students needs to learn these critical skills in order to compete.

My hobbies are various. I enjoy outdoor activities such as biking and hiking and am an avid collector of Afro-Latin music. I enjoy travel travel and have been to over 12 countries abroad and lived in Italy for one year.
