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.

Ilona

Certified Tutor

I was a zookeeper before becoming a teacher and have lived all over the United States, with my favorite place being Arizona. Ohio is my home though. I teach Science and Engineering at a large high school, and in the past I have coached Women's Rugby and Swimming. In my spare time I am an obsessive dog mom and I spend a lot of time caring for our classroom pet rabbit named Kevin. I love kayaking and paddle boarding. I was a college swimmer and rugby player and I still swim to stay fit early EARLY in the morning. I love to travel and before COVID I would travel 2-3 times a year out of the country to new places. I just returned from Zambia, where I completed grant-work with local game rangers focused on the illegal wildlife trade. I also spent some time in Tanzania summitting Mount Kilimanjaro. My interests keep me pretty busy, so if I have some downtime, I won't say no to a good nap. :)
