Shakivia: Wood Dale tutor

Certified Tutor

I hope to defeat poverty all over the world. I will one day build homes for homeless people and those living in impoverished countries. I believe having a stable home is the foundation for success in all areas of life.

As far as my educational background, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Sociology.

While in college, my favorite classes were my upper-division, writing based courses, related to History and Sociology. I love writing research papers.

Before switching majors, I was a science major. So I have taken calculus, biology, and chemistry courses. I was placed right into calculus due to my UT Math Placement Exam, testing me out of pre-calculus.

If a student needs help writing an essay, I will be able to help with creating a strong thesis statement, citations, and organizing the paper.

My first job out of college was an in-class math tutor for middle school students who were behind in their grade levels.
