Jide: Homer Glen tutor

Certified Tutor

I have studied engineering at UIUC and Oakton college, and am currently working on both my Bachelors and Masters degrees at Depaul University for Secondary Math Education. I have been tutoring for about 4 years as volunteering for a local elementary/middle school. Academics have played a major role in my life, as I was a student who personally struggled and took many steps to overcome the challenges presented during my early education. As somebody who has had to work to find new intuitive ways to learn, I highly value the qualities of patience and out-of-the-box thinking to help my students succeed!
I have tutored all fundamental subjects for students in K-12. However, as a student currently pursuing a degree in Secondary Education Math, my affinity for tutoring especially lends itself towards STEM subjects.
I believe that a vital component to learning is being able to appreciate and enjoy the presented content. I always hope to achieve this by contextualizing topics learned in the classroom, with the goal of helping students grasp the importance and real-world applications of each subject.
