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 teacher with over 20 years of experience. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a focus on Language Arts, Social Science, and Music from Northern Illinois University. I received my Masters of Music Education from VanderCook School of Music in Chicago. While I have spent most of my career teaching Music, I am passionate about Reading, English, Literature, and History as well. I am a lifelong learner and hope to impart my love of learning on all the students that I tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, singing and playing guitar, hiking and biking, and spending quality time with friends and family.
