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.

Laura

Certified Tutor

As an undergraduate, I was privileged to have many teaching experiences. Starting my sophomore year, I began working for the Center for Teaching and Learning as a Teaching Fellow for the Geoscience Department, and in my senior year as a Lead Teaching Fellow. As a Teaching Fellow at HWS Colleges, I was responsible for helping all introductory courses in the Geoscience Department during nightly hours held in the Department building. Sometimes I also had the opportunity to help upper level students, and I loved discussing and teaching other Geoscience majors. At the time, I as also enrolled in the Colleges’ Teacher Certification Program, and was also interning as a Student Tutor in local middle and high schools. Teaching both adolescents and college students during that time helped me find and develop my passion for teaching. In graduate school, I taught Introduction to Geology for two semesters. In the fall of 2017 I will begin a teaching apprenticeship in Boston to get my Middle School Science Teaching License.
