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.

Donna

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about music and technology and have focused my entire career on both. I earned an Associates in Arts with a concentration on piano and organ, a Bachelor's in Applied Liberal Studies, and a Master's in Human Resource Development.

My career as a parish organist/pianist began while in college, has spanned 48 years, and is still going strong. I currently play in two churches and am fortunate to work with congregations that have top of the line pianos and organs and value music. I've also taught piano and organ during my career. The pandemic and shut down gave me the opportunity to begin teaching piano virtually by way of FaceTime and Zoom. It took some thought, as well as experimenting. The end result is that I have a process and make it work very well.

I was fortunate enough to spend 42 years working in technical fields, including system support, training (technical, information systems, and software applications), teaching at the community college and university level, and now, the best job of all, teaching computer courses to students in fifth eighth grade. I love being challenged, meeting new people, and learning new things!

I look forward to what the future will bring!
