Lori: Vernon Hills tutor
Certified Tutor
Education has always been at the heart of my life and work. I love seeing students progress, build confidence, and achieve their goalsboth academic and personal. Over the years, I've worked with students ranging from middle school to college, whether through individual tutoring, small groups, or classroom settings. My teaching experience spans an array of subjects, including Math, Arabic, SAT Prep, College Application Prep, Writing, History, Life Skills, Chess, Social Sciences, and Sexual Health. Each subject offers a unique opportunity to connect with students and tailor my approach to their needs.
I thrive on helping students tackle challenges and turn them into achievements. I believe in meeting students where they areadapting to their learning styles and encouraging them every step of the way. At the same time, I'm not afraid to challenge students when they're ready, pushing them to reach their full potential.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and Legal Studies, and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Sexual Health. This diverse academic background helps me bring both structure and creativity to my teaching. Beyond academics, I enjoy playing the violin, chess, and board games, as well as spending time with my dog and watching stand-up comedy.
Ultimately, my goal as a tutor is to foster a learning environment where students feel supported, motivated, and empowered to believe in themselves.
