Vanessa: Berwyn tutor
Certified Tutor
As a graduate of Northwestern University with a Bachelor's degree in Performance Studies, I am deeply passionate about fostering effective communication in my tutoring approach. With over 2 years of experience teaching subjects such as Expository Writing, High School Writing, and IB Literature and Performance, I emphasize a process-oriented methodology that prioritizes dialogue and active listening. This not only enhances comprehension but also encourages students to engage critically with the material. My commitment to nurturing a supportive learning environment drives my dedication to helping students find their unique voices in writing and performance. I believe that each interaction is an opportunity for growth, and I aim to inspire my students to embrace their creative potential while developing essential skills for academic success.

Undergraduate Degree: Northwestern University - Bachelor in Arts, Music Performance
I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, Latin America and the United States during my wine studies, and am looking forward to going to Greece this year. Traveling has given me great perspective on life’s encounters with people, again lending a unique approach to the ways I go about teaching. Tennis, National Public Radio, estate sale shopping, Champagne and spending quality time with my mother (sometimes this involves Champagne)—these include some of my interests.
