...help students improve as much as possible. Whether it be through a 15 minute conversation or hour long class, I prioritize building connections. Building positive relationships is essential in engaging a student in academic work. Math can be a tough subject to master, I like helping students see that arithmetic is not so scary.

Chloe: Oak Lawn Social Studies tutor
Certified Social Studies Tutor in Oak Lawn, IL
...in college and high school I realize that the way a student receives information is just as important as the material itself. No one method works for everyone, and figuring out approaches to critical thinking that best serve the student will provide important skills for long term learning, grit, and perseverance. As a tutor, I hope to start small and share what I have found helpful in order to succeed academically and thrive mentally.

Gerardo: Oak Lawn Social Studies tutor
Certified Social Studies Tutor in Oak Lawn, IL

We knew that making mistakes was the best way to learn, and when we mastered a subject, it was time to learn something new. These results didn't stem from rigorous rote learning. Too often, educators focus on raising test scores with tips and tricks, forgetting to acknowledge that the students taking those tests are individuals. How can...

I never thought history was relevant until one day in college, I stepped onto the Basilica Aemilia in Rome and was - like in some movie - stunned to physically feel that I was putting MY foot somewhere Julius Caesar had once put HIS foot.
