Award-Winning Tutors in Round Lake, IL

...in graduate school at UW-Milwaukee, and I spent a considerable amount of time teaching technology - in a sense - through a customer service job at a big cell-phone company. I taught 5th grade in Chicago Public Schools, worked as a substitute teacher in CPS, and finally moved into a middle-school science and reading position...

...ACTs, as well as math for all ages. I excel particularly in writing and editing and love tutoring in the humanities. My teaching philosophy is one of guidance rather than direct instruction, helping students to discover answers on their own. I am very patient and understand that sometimes all it takes to understand a difficult...

...scores in each subject. In my free time, I like to play sports like football and basketball. I also like to read novels and poems. My favorites are by Kurt Vonnegut and Jack Kerouac. I am a strong believer in education being the seeds of opportunity and hope to share my passion of learning with...

I have taught English at both high school and college levels. I have taught reading to children ranging between kindergarten and adulthood.

...almost every job I have held, from creating a high school STEM tutoring program in a community center in Peru, to providing individual academic support to suburban Chicago youth involved in mentoring programs.

Several smaller, manageable tasks coalesce into the conquering of one larger task. I want to challenge students to find the value in everything, even...

...do my best to meet you where you’re at. Working with a tutor doesn't have to be stuffy and dry, and it doesn't even have to feel like work. I think that most learning evolves out of having a conversation about the work we’re being asked to do. In my spare time, I enjoy biking,...

...Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew...

...at an orphanage in Cambodia, and am currently working in a 5th grade classroom. While I tutor a wide-range of subjects, I most enjoy teaching English, Literature, Math, and Art. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy playing tennis and volleyball, doing art projects, reading, writing, and exploring the great city of Chicago.
