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.

What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy is that listening to the student is most important. I like to be flexible and adjust to each particular student's learning style. I prefer to be able to walk the student through questions, to really understand how they are approaching a question. From there, I will guide them through the best ways to approach the question that are still in line with their thought process. I believe in giving constructive criticism to reinforce what the student is doing correctly and still be able to address the issues that the student faces.
