Experienced Math, English, History, Art, Writing, ACT/SAT Tutor

I'm an experienced tutor and teacher, and have worked with kids of all ages. The bulk of my experience is with high school and ACT/SAT math. Though I currently study and research art and the humanities, I have a strong academic background in math and the sciences, with two and a half years of coursework in Bio-medical Engineering at Virginia Tech. So really, I love the opportunity to keep up my math through tutoring. I began tutoring math in high school, free-lance, and continued to do so through college. After college, I began tutoring professionally in other subjects, such as reading, writing, history, and French.

In graduate school, I studied Art History, literature, new media, the digital humanities, and, of course, did a lot of research and writing. I am extremely comfortable working with students on long term research and am familiar with honor code policies so that I may maintain the proper boundaries of engagement.
I also love working with younger children, and was in high demand as a reading tutor for ages 5 - 10 when I was working as a professional tutor in Virginia.

In addition to tutoring, I currently also teach Community college in Chicago.

Elementary (K-6th)

As a certified tutor at Huntington Learning Center from 2009 to 2010, I worked extensively with children ages 5 - 12 on reading, phonics, math, spelling, logic, speech, and basic skills. I worked one on one with up to 4 different students per week within this age group. Most often, I used learning materials provided by the center, but sometimes students brought their own materials with them from school to work on.

The most important thing I learned during this time was patience in dealing... Read More
