"I have previously worked as a swim instructor and as a private tutor for a few years. I am organized, detailed, and comfortable working with any type of students- including students with disabilites. I self-studied for ACT, and my composite score was in the 99th percentile. I will share with students many tips and strategies that will not only help them save time on the test day, but also ultimately improve their scores. My goal as a tutor is to make sure that students understand the fundamental concepts, and that they apply them to other similar questions that will be on the tests." ...

"I began teaching in 1999, both in the classroom and through individual tutoring sessions, after earning an M.S. in Math Education from Purdue University. My experience ranges from a traditional curriculum at an elite college preparatory school to student-based "discovery learning" in a Chicago public high school to working with adults at one of the City Colleges of Chicago.

"Even though my professional career is as a criminal defense attorney, I am still a scientist at heart. I've found that the ability to "think like a scientist" - methodically, logically, empirically - serves as an invaluable asset for case analysis, evidence evaluation, and legal reasoning. That's one of the things I love the most about science and mathematics - it informs your whole outlook on the world and the way you think. And that's why I enjoy helping others to develop their scientific abilities as well."

"Every truth has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other three.-Confucius
As a tutor it is my goal to not only teach my students the material they need to learn, but to better their core understanding of a subject and their methods of learning for the future. This way, they can continue to learn at an advanced level long after they no longer require the service of a tutor.

"I studied psychology and Spanish at Northwestern University and then got my Master's degree in elementary education from Vanderbilt University. Although I always thought teaching sounded exciting, it was not until I began volunteering in a third grade classroom that I was sure I wanted to pursue education as a career. Since making this decision I have had experience with students of all ages. I taught weekly lessons to 2nd and 4th graders during the first year of my program at Vanderbilt and then student taught in a fifth grade and a kindergarten." ...
