Bachelors, History
9+ years of tutoring
The University of Chicago
Northwestern University

I was born and raised in San Juan, PR. This makes me a native Spanish speaker with an academic background in the language. It also means that, to this day, I do not enjoy our cold Chicago winters. I moved to Chicago to attend college. I have a B.A. in History from The University of Chicago and a M.S. in Education from Northwestern University. I am also a former teacher. I taught 5th grade Language Arts and Social Studies at a CPS school. I am certified in elementary education and have a middle school endorsement in Social Studies. I love teaching, learning, and helping students do a little bit of both. I am passionate about politics and education. I am a big sports fan. I intensely root for my teams and defend my beloved Bulls. In my spare time, I love to do yoga, read, try new recipes, watch engaging TV shows, spend quality time with my friends and family, and travel the world.

Q&A with Veronica

I strongly believe in the desire and ability of every student to learn. Moreover, I believe in the importance of differentiation, of meeting students at their instructional level, and adjusting your teaching style to help the student to learn. At the same time, I believe that meeting the socio-emotional needs of a student is as important as helping them succeed in the academic setting. In order for the latter to happen, the former has to take place.
