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.

Alys

Certified Tutor

I have 39 years of experience in the field of education. I am passionate about helping students learn and meet their academic goals.
Of those 39 years, I spent 26 working as a high school English teacher. I enjoyed opening students' minds to grammar, writing, and the various genres of literature. I enjoy teaching / tutoring English because there is much to explore in writing and reading. When a person reads a short story or a novel, they can be transported to any place and time in the world through their imagination. Writing about those interpretations can be exciting and fun!
I have a BA in English and Speech Communications from Corpus Christi State University (now TAMU-CC). I have an MA in Education from Kaplan University. Finally, I have a Ph.D in Education from Capella University. I look forward to helping students reach their academic goals in life.
