Jack: Crestwood Reading tutor
Certified Reading Tutor in Crestwood, IL
I'm a recent grad from Northwestern (B.A. in Theatre and Economics) who loves teaching and learning.

First sessions always start with discussion of a subject's foundations. If we nail these, the rest of the learning becomes ten times easier.
