I have a bachelors degree in Biology from Loyola University Chicago, as well as a bachelors degree in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago. Between earning my two bachelors degrees, I was in the PharmD program at the University of Minnesota. I dropped out halfway through upon realizing that I would not be happy pursuing a career in that field. I enjoy helping students learn and understand subjects ranging from math, sciences, writing, art, etc.

Tutoring is about a lot more than studying, tests, and knowledge. I believe the interpersonal relationship involved with teaching greatly benefits both parties. Learning is fundamental to life- and turning otherwise cumbersome and difficult tasks like passing a hard class into a lightbulb moment is where I find my satisfaction. Turning such a familiar struggle into newfound realization and understanding is what I aim for.

Nikos Kazantzakis ... Utilize more than one learning approach. Utilize online services. Get feedback from the students themselves.... After introductions, I would like to hear from the student: how do they feel about the courses they are taking? Do they know where they want to begin?...

I believe all students can succeed in whatever they put their mind to.

I take my responsibility as a teacher and a coach very seriously and it is my utmost intention to consistently treat my students with respect, compassion, and to challenge them in their academics to bring forth growth. This is the same that I would want for my own children and I promise to do no less for your child.

...education students. I have been an educator since 2017 and have taught grades K-3 and 6-8. I have taught in public, private, and international school settings.

My favorite subject is History, and I enjoy incorporating social studies and science into reading and...

...throughout the year.

Also, love when their face lightens up once they see how easy it is!
