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.

Shannon

Certified Tutor

One of my greatest passions in life is and always will be helping students learn. Though teaching at my local community college, at a University in Laos, and thought private piano lessons with students here in the US I have come to love watching my students' worlds grow as they discover the joy and encouragement that learning has to offer. I am a graduate of Samford University, where I majored in Music and Minored in History; The University of Edinburgh, where I earned an MSc in Archaeology; and Kaplan University, where I earned an MA in Teaching. Though I love all types of learning I am particularly fond of History, Anthropology, Reading, and Literature. I believe it is my job to equip my students with the tools that they need to be able to learn and think for themselves. I endeavor to use many different learning styles to reach as many students as possible. My job is to equip and encourage! In my "leisure time" I enjoy working with my horses, spending time with my goats, and reading or watching TV on the couch with my dog curled up next to me.
