MEET OUR GUEST

Meet Mary Bassey, a multi-passionate professional whose education and experience has spanned multiple subjects and standardized test types in the tutoring industry, in traditional education, in presenting literature from neuroscience spaces, and in music. After 15 years as a tutor, she founded Tutoring With Mary in 2022, a business that offers academic support in STEM and English-Language Arts school subjects, test prep support, college essay coaching, and scholarship essay coaching. When she is not tutoring, you can find her playing the flute and piccolo with the Los Angeles Symphonic Winds, the LLS Orchestra, and other music groups throughout Southern California. Mary loves to curl up with a good book, dance, sing, write, and snuggle with her cats Bo and Persephone.
