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.

Certified Tutor

I have had the opportunity to teach and to tutor thousands of students over my 33 year teaching career.
I believe that each student is unique, and that academic skills and weaknesses should be assessed and targeted for the best results. I also hope that it can be a FUN learning experience! I love it when students develop a passion for a subject like Biology, or develop an understanding and/or respect for Algebra, Geometry, etc. Most important to me is that the student ultimately feels successful, and sees improvement. Learning is a lifelong skill, and the desire to become better academically or to pass a class with a particular grade provides the motivation and opportunity to grow! I feel fortunate to be able to assist in those endeavors!

Hobbies

I have many hobbies and interests! I love to run, hike and bike. I have run several marathons, but now typically power walk. I am an avid birder, and enjoy birdwatching every chance I get. I love wildflowers and trees, and spend a lot of time outdoors studying nature. I work out every day, because exercise is incredible for the brain! I love to read, spend time with my family and friends. I love watching football and golf, and even play a bit of golf now and then. It has been said that I am pretty good at Fantasy Football!!!!
