"My name is Olivia and I'm a recent graduate from Northwestern University. I am from Manhattan but have been living in the Chicago area for almost 5 years.
Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a passion for teaching and for school. I used to line my stuffed animals up and teach them lessons on various books or history on my white board. Fifteen years later, I get to do the real thing."

"I was a voracious reader by age nine. As an adult, I am a grammar fiend and a talented writer. Teaching people to read and write is one of my favorite activities. I have taught or tutored in many different arenas, from high school teaching and tutoring to legal intern and lawyer training, and from summer camps and after-school programs to caring for my elementary-and-toddler-aged nieces and nephew. Currently, I teach high school math, science, English, social studies, and theater arts when those classroom teachers aren't available." ...

"My name is Madeline (Maddie), and I am currently a sophomore at Northwestern University majoring in theatre and English (creative writing), with a minor in psychology.

"I am in my third year of teaching and I currently teach 6th-8th grade Science and 7th/8th Social Studies. I love all history subjects and enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them gain a better understanding of the material. As a teacher, I understand that all students learn differently and that it sometimes takes an additional explanation to help the "light bulb" go on. I also know that working one-on-one with a student can help them gain confidence in the subject and then in the classroom.."

"My main motivation for tutoring is seeing that "a-ha!" moment when a student finally understands a concept with which he or she has been struggling. There is nothing more satisfying! One of my greatest strengths is being able to work with all different kinds of people, and I tailor my approach to each specific case. I look forward to working with you and seeing you reach those "a-ha!" moments!."
