Conner

Certified Tutor

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's in English Literature and Journalism from Northwestern University, I am passionate about fostering a love for learning, particularly in subjects like History and English Literature. With over two years of tutoring experience, my teaching philosophy centers on engaging students by tailoring lessons to their individual interests and encouraging curiosity. I believe that the most effective learning occurs when students are genuinely excited about the material. My commitment to academic excellence is reflected in my achievements, including the Edwin L. Shuman Award for Best Junior and Senior in English Literature, and the Helen G. Scott Prize for Best Critical Essay. Outside of tutoring, I immerse myself in diverse literary voices, which deepens my connection with students and enriches our discussions. I strive to create a supportive environment where every student feels empowered to explore and express their ideas.
