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?

I like to break things down into mentally manageable chunks that can be done inside your head to make problems easier and more fun.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Talk about where he or she feels most challenged and assess the best approach.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I like to teach students how to approach a problem in a very practical, logical way that they can internalize and use in the future.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I have a great sense of humor and I like to make every effort to make learning fun!

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Think of a different approach or take a break, if necessary.
