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 am a certified teacher in the state of Texas (8-12 Social Studies Composite) with 10 years of experience in a variety of fields including American and European History. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Sam Houston State University and my Master's from University of Houston Clear Lake.

As an educator my goal is to help students realize their potential by teaching them skills instead of facts. I realize that your time is precious so I set out to facilitate learning instead of merely reciting details.
