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.

Alison

Certified Tutor

I am a kind-hearted, friendly, professional and highly trained teacher. I lived in Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, and other areas in Japan for a year and a half. I became proficient in the Japanese language and fell in love with the language and culture. Upon returning from Japan, I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and took 16 credits of Japanese. I am extremely passionate about teaching, and am able to assess the needs of each individual student. I am a great communicator, listener, and will do anything to help my students succeed! The subject I am most excited to tutor is Japanese.

I love to communicate in the Japanese language. I love spending time with my family riding four-wheelers, playing games, hiking, and serving others. I have been dancing since I was 5 years old, and continued throughout high school and college. I was also involved in choreographing and teaching dance. I love to climb and love anything to do with the beach; boogie boarding, surfing, snorkeling, you name it! I love to oil paint. I love my record player, old cars, and 70s music!
