Makeda: Gurnee tutor
Certified Tutor
I'm an experienced educator with a passion for supporting students in the Primary and Junior grades. I bring patience, creativity, and a calm, encouraging presence to each tutoring session. My goal is to help students build confidence, develop strong learning habits, and grow both academically and personally.
With classroom teaching experience and ongoing TESOL certification training, I've worked with a wide range of learners and learning styles. I tailor lessons to each child's needs, whether they need support in reading, writing, math, or foundational language skills.
I believe that when students feel safe, seen, and supported, they thrive. I'm excited to walk alongside your child in their learning journey and help them succeed one step at a time.

Outside of teaching and tutoring, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading children’s books, and creating hands-on learning activities. I love exploring creative outlets like drawing, writing, and crafting, and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to bring fun and imagination into learning. I also enjoy music, walking with my daughter, and learning about different cultures and languages.
