Ann: Melrose Park tutor
Certified Tutor
I have a B.A. with honors in Art History and Medieval Studies from UChicago and received my Master's in Medieval Studies from Yale. Both in high school and during my time at UChicago, I have been a high school debate judge, as my experience on a nationally ranked high school debate team and state-ranked mock trial team transferred well into my love of teaching and helping students hone their craft.
At U Chicago and during my time at Yale, I have helped one of my UChicago professors with a class that is put on each year and interacting with the students and being able to help teach them about the Italian Renaissance is an experience I love and reminds me why I love teaching. The many French 1 and French 2 papers I helped grade for my overwrought teacher in high school have also given me some experience, as well as my experiences studying abroad in Rennes in high school and Paris in undergrad.
I am well-versed in a variety of different subjects, but I am the most passionate about History, French, Creative Writing and English, and Public Speaking. I believe wholeheartedly that each student should be able to access a more personalized approach to their education, as both myself and my brother required tutors to achieve our versions of success. In my experience, both as a tutor and pupil, being able to build a rapport with your students is one of the most rewarding experiences and goes the longest way with getting them to understand the material.

In my spare time, I like collecting antiques, thrifting, making jewelry, reading about the Middle Ages, fun roadtrips, and hunting for shells wherever there is a beach. I also love traveling: my favorite destination is anywhere I can speak French, but I have soft spots for Brittany, Ireland, Morocco, Belgium, and a long list of future destinations!
