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?

Supporting students as they first learn new and/or difficult topics is imperative; however, that support is gradually lifted as students gain proficiency and demonstrate confidence in each new skill.
