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.

Hobbies

Besides English, I am fluent in the language of making learning fun and engaging for my students. With my upbeat energy and positive attitude, I always strive to make my lessons tailored to the interests of my kids. To ensure effective online learning, I use a variety of strategies such as formative assessments, checking the pulse of my learners, and constantly incorporating questions to gauge understanding. Outside of teaching, I love to read, shop, watch movies, and travel, and I find that these interests also influence my teaching style by allowing me to connect with different learning styles and students. I am excited to bring my varied experiences and approaches to our learning sessions!
