Jessica: West Chicago tutor
Certified Tutor
Passionate educator with 10+ years of experience in PK-12 classrooms, driven to inspire a love of learning in students. My journey began as a Pre-K teacher, where I fostered a love of learning in young minds. I then transitioned to teaching STEM, where I integrated technology and real-world applications to make learning engaging and relevant. As an Educational Technologist, I further developed my skills in curriculum development, instructional design, and technology integration, empowering teachers to create dynamic learning experiences.
I believe education is the key to unlocking individual potential, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals. I am a patient and empathetic educator with a strong foundation in education. I am particularly drawn to tutoring in subjects that foster critical thinking and creativity, such as STEM, language arts, and social studies.
My teaching philosophy centers around creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable exploring their curiosity and developing a love of learning. I believe in the power of personalized instruction and strive to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each student.
