Learning to Flourish

Steve R.

For nearly 20 years, I've been dedicated to providing personalized tutoring that celebrates each student's unique strengths and cultivates their full potential. Accepting a small number of students allows me to offer flexible scheduling, including last-minute accommodations when feasible, and affordable rates for both in-person and remote sessions. I create a supportive and encouraging space where questions are welcomed and learning thrives, allowing students to truly flourish. Together, we'll develop a customized plan, ensuring your child receives the expert guidance and unwavering support they need to succeed.

About Me
Since 2006, I've been passionate about empowering students to unlock their learning potential. My experience as a public school teacher on the North Shore, including at New Trier High School, has given me valuable insights into the challenges students face, particularly those with learning disabilities and executive functioning difficulties. I've worked extensively with students aged 12-18, teaching a range of subjects from reading and writing to math and science. My approach emphasizes multi-sensory and multi-modal techniques to make complex concepts accessible to every learner.
I'm also committed to staying at the forefront of my field, as evidenced by my active involvement with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), where I'm a member, frequent Teaching Exceptional Children reader, and presenter at conferences. During the pandemic, I co-hosted Loyola University Chicago's Special Needs Network for Educators, supporting both pre-service and current special education teachers.
