Ashley: Lincolnwood tutor

Certified Tutor

With five years of tutoring experience with grades K-12, I have developed a true passion for teaching, because it goes beyond memorizing facts. It's about cultivating essential skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and effective communication

My dedication to education extends beyond tutoring; through my experience as an instructor in a neurorehabilitation setting, I have developed the ability to assess individual needs, reteach skills in adaptable ways, and motivate learners' skills that translate directly to helping K12 students grasp new concepts and build confidence in their learning.

Math is one of my favorite subjects to teach because of its structured process of problem solving. Although math problems can be seen as straightforward, once students establish a good foundation in their knowledge, they can see all the different ways one problem can be solved. This experience instills confidence and excitement in students, motivating them to tackle more complex problems with creativity and organization. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching reading comprehension, as it pushes students to think critically and pose thought-provoking questions, adding to their ability to think outside the box. Recognizing that active engagement enhances learning, I implement dynamic teaching methods, such as active recall, hands-on activities, and collaborative group work.

Currently in my last year and pursuing a degree in Health Sciences at Drexel University, my academic background compliments my commitment to holistic student development. Through tutoring, I aim to not only impart subject-specific knowledge but also instill a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. As a student, I have learned that we should all never stop our curiosity. Whether in school or our careers there is always more for us to learn. I am enthusiastic about contributing to students' growth and success, recognizing the impact of a solid educational foundation on their future endeavors.
