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.

Jennifer Y.

Certified Tutor

I believe in teaching in the way YOU learn best, whether it be, visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic (action-based). With a Bachelor's degree in Speech and Language therapy, I am experienced in providing speech and language related training to aid elementary aged students in attaining developmentally appropriate skills. As a curriculum writer, graphic designer and dance instructor, I work to incorporate every student's strengths and talents into the tutoring sessions. I love to use mnemonics, visual aids, storytelling, drama, flashcards, study games and graphic organizers! I take great joy in helping students succeed. I have been described as warm, patient, calm and caring. I can easily relate to students of all ages and am able to break down complex information. I have worked as an assistant preschool teacher and as a beloved camp counselor for many years.

My teaching philosophy is focused on skill building: My goal in tutoring is to give you/your child the skills to be able to work independently outside of the tutoring session, and translate these skills to a classroom environment. I have tutored students in Reading, Writing, Literature, History, Math, Hebrew, Regent's subjects, CLEPs and Photoshop. I have also helped many students in studying for tests, homework, report writing and research. I have experience in working with students with learning disabilities, social/emotional challenges and ADD/ADHD.
