About Mary

Hi! I'm Mary, a multi-subject tutor with 14 years of international teaching experience, from elementary through high school. Experience: • Vietnam: Grades 1-2 Math, English & Science • Taiwan: English, writing & academic skills (ages 7-17) • Oman: Grade 1 teacher; Head of Early Childhood • Kyrgyzstan: Grade 2 Math, English & Science; Grade 7 English • Online: 6 years teaching original courses in literature, writing, science, history & ESL Education: • BA, Georgetown University • Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine • Cambridge CELTA My Approach: I see every student as a unique puzzle: What excites them? Where are they stuck? What will make things click? I use humor, games, discussion, visuals, and real-world examples to make learning engaging and challenging concepts accessible. I emphasize understanding over memorization, encouraging students to question, reason, and problem-solve. My goal? Confident, curious, independent learners who eventually don't need me!
