Ryan: Springfield tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm ALL about helping students because I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck or overwhelmed in school. I've been there myself, and I know that with the right support, anyone can build confidence and succeed.

Tutoring gives me the chance to be that support for others to break down difficult material into manageable pieces and help students see their own potential. I earned my degree in Supply Chain Management and Marketing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Through my internships and college coursework, I developed strong analytical and communication skills that I bring into each tutoring session. I've also spent time mentoring peers and working with younger students, which helped me realize how much I enjoy teaching.

I tutor elementary and middle school math, including pre-algebra and algebra, along with AP U.S. History and AP World History. My favorite subjects to tutor are history courses, because I enjoy helping students connect past events to bigger ideas and present-day issues. I also like working on math fundamentals because they build a strong base that sets students up for success long-term.

My tutoring style is calm, patient, and focused on making learning feel manageable. I believe in meeting students where they are and encouraging steady growth through small wins.
