Marvin: Glen Ellyn tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a graduate of Ivy Tech Community College with an Associate of General Studies, focusing on Math and Physics. Even before graduating, I tutored extensively working with high school students (grades 812), college students at IUPUI (where I served as a Bepko Learning Center Mentor for two years), and private clients of all ages in the metro area.
While I tutor many high school subjects, math is my true passion. I find great joy in helping students move from feeling intimidated by math to discovering its beauty and logic. In my experience, once students see math as something they want to understand rather than something they have to do, their confidence and performance improves across many subjects.
I believe exploration is key to educational success and work to foster that mindset in every student. I've even had the opportunity to contribute original thought to the field, having published a new mathematical constant. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy yoga and caring for the elderly.

My interests have been Topography (in particular, making maps), chess, Math, and AI. I've dabbled in AI since 2017. I also possess a metaphysical streak (in that Math can lead beyond the limitations of the natural world)!
