Shaine: Melrose Park tutor

Certified Tutor

Currently, I am an undergraduate pursuing a degree in Healthcare Management at Washington University in St.Louis. My passion for education stems from my belief that every student can succeed with the right teaching style and support system.

My tutoring experience spans elementary and middle school mathematics, including foundational concepts through Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2. Additionally, I serve as an English instructor on the Ringle platform, where I teach non-native speakers ages 6-18, helping them develop their writing, reading comprehension, and grammar skills. This diverse experience has taught me to adapt my teaching methods to different learning styles and cultural backgrounds.

While I tutor multiple subjects, mathematics and English are my favorites because I love watching students experience those "lightbulb moments" when challenging concepts suddenly click. I'm also passionate about standardized test preparation in both math and English sections, and helping students with writing assignments.

I am a firm believer that every student can succeed with patience and encouragement. I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. My goal is not just to help students improve their grades, but to build their confidence.
In my free time, I enjoy painting, learning new pieces on the piano, playing tennis, and taking walks in the park with my dogs!
