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.

Polly

Certified Tutor

Hi! My name is Polly and I have a Masters and Education Specialist Degree in School Psychology and I'm a Professional Level Educational Therapist. Basically, I spent 4 years after undergrad studying how children and adolescents learn to read, write, spell, and do math, as well as how to help children and adolescents succeed academically, behaviorally, and socially-emotionally.

I work in schools to test kids with disabilities, advocate for families, train teachers and staff, and much more. I also see individual clients for therapy outside of schools. I have experience with students of all ages, with disabilities, giftedness, varying backgrounds, and more. I'm fun and knowledgeable. I have a deep understanding of what it takes to progress through school and to be happy and healthy throughout the process. I'm flexible and am here to teach your child about his/her brain and how to harness it so they can learn best.
