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.

Kourtney

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Pittsburg State University, having received both my Bachelor of Science in Education with an emphasis in History/Government, and my Master of Arts in History from that institution. Since then, I have worked as a high school educator teaching American and World History. History is my passion- I have always enjoyed learning people's stories, but I am also certified to teach Government and Geography, and I enjoy those subjects as well. In addition to Social Studies, I enjoy English and writing, and I believe the two disciplines are closely linked. My teaching philosophy is that everyone can learn, and that we all have a different style- the key is simply finding out what works and pursuing success. My job is to help students succeed, and I find so much joy in that undertaking. I believe education is imperative to society, and I try to make sure that my students value education as much as I do. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading (especially history or biographical books) and spending time with my family.
