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.

Harriet

Certified Tutor

I have been a teacher for over 35 years and still have a great passion for teaching. I enjoy tutoring students on a 1:1 basis to individualize the learning for each client. Connecting with my students is a large part of my style. I enjoy teaching all ages and excel in math (up to algebra) and beginning reading. For fun I like to stay active, riding my bike, swimming and walking my dog. I also like to travel to new places and old favorites. My family is very important to me.
I have a BS in Child Development from the University of Pittsburgh and a MEd in Special Education from Temple University. Later in my career I gained a certificate in Middle School Math from Drexel University. My experience is vast. I have taught Special Education in a vocational setting for teenagers, Early Intervention for ages 3-6 years of age and have tutored different subjects for the past 2 years. Seeing the look in a student's eyes when they understand a concept is very rewarding. Tutoring subjects that I enjoy is as important to me as the students. It would be my pleasure to teach you or your child.
