Who needs tutoring?
What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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.

Karen

Certified Tutor

I love to help and encourage kids who are struggling. Anyone can learn if they have a little help!

I have a bachelor's degree in education, with hours in gifted education as well. I was a public school teacher for 10 years, but I have been tutoring individuals for over 45 years-- since I was 15 years old. I have worked with kids as young as preschool and as old as high school, but my focus has been mostly on elementary and middle school aged students. I am excellent with kids who are reluctant or don't like school at all. My focus is on finding their strengths and using those to help their weaknesses.

Besides teaching and tutoring, I am a published choral composer, with over 25 pieces in publication at this time. I love all forms of music. I also love to play tennis, and when I'm not teaching or composing, you will find me on the tennis court.

I am excited about each new student I meet, and I can't wait to meet your child next!
