Janice: Des Plaines tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of The University of Warwick. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and English Literature. Prior to advancing to Warwick, I endured a lot of hardship during my secondary education, whereby I was forced to tutor myself the majority of my GCSE examination content due to lack of staffing and resources. This experience solidified my view of education as a privilege and powerful tool that can determine one's quality of life and shape future lives for the better. This appreciation for education is something I hope to share and impart to all the students I teach.

During my time at University, I participated in the 'Warwick in Africa Programme', where I worked as an English Teacher at Alexandra High School in Johannesburg, South Africa for two months. During this time I helped struggling students prepare for their Varsity Exams for entry into university/college. I am most passionate about English, Literature and Philosophy; As I specialise in English Literature, students made remarkable strides of improvement in the areas of Modern Prose and Drama tests. Students also seemed to find Unseen Poetry exercises the most enjoyable.

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to Gospel Music which edifies my spirit, going to the cinema with friends, watching sermons, and an odd episode viewing of an old 90s Television Series.
