Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors for Students in Des Plaines, IL

My goal is not just to help students with a tough class or a standardized test, but also to teach them learning skills they can apply to the next challenge. When you work with me, we're not just practicing algebra (or whatever); we're practicing the kinds of behaviors that will help you succeed in future math classes. I work with students to match their learning style (visual, auditory, learning by doing, etc.).

...editor for a campus magazine and the leader of a screenwriting workshop. Needless to say, I love to write and to work with other people on their writing. We're so often given the impression that you either "get" reading and writing, or you don't. I firmly disagree.
