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 graduate of North Carolina State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus on Education and Environmental Science. Since graduation, I have taken on a job as a Field Biologist for a Biological Supply and Education materials company, continued my passion of educating children and adults in my community, traveling to different ecosystems and towns across North Carolina, and found new hobbies that I enjoy. While I enjoy tutoring in a wide variety of subjects, I find most enjoyment in K-12 Life Sciences, specifically Biology, Environmental science, and Chemistry. I also have a lot of experience helping high school students prepare for Advanced Placement standardized tests. I have found that, together, we enjoy focusing on vocabulary and essay writing. My beliefs are very in favor of putting education first, and it is absolutely a right of all to have a quality education to put them ahead in life. Learning and education is meant to be enjoyable, and not a chore. I aim to push this with all of my students and peers.

Hobbies

In my spare time, I really enjoy gardening and expanding my collection of indoor plants. I garden and grow plants year round, and enjoy propagation, greenhouse growing, and seed preparation. My husband and I also just had a baby boy so he is definitely takes up most of my spare time. I have an amazing, supportive partner who gives me a lot of time for me to enjoy my interests and hobbies.
