About Teddy


Bio

Hi! I'm Teddy,
Helping you set and achieve your personal goals as a student is my passion. I studied Writing Intensive English and Marquette University where I trained, shadowed, and worked at the official University Writing Center. I also served as a writing tutor for neurodivergent peers with OYM Disability Services for three years.

Hi! I'm Teddy,
Helping you set and achieve your personal goals as a student is my passion. I studied Writing Intensive English and Marquette University where I trained, shadowed, and worked at the official University Writing Center. I also served as a writing tutor for neurodivergent peers with OYM Disability Services for three years. In addition to collegiate tutoring, I tutored middle schoolers with mathematics and reading with a summer program called Beacon Place located in Waukegan Illinois, where I grew adept to aiding younger students.
I've been told my tutees hang on to the teachings I impart, referencing our sessions to improve their performance long-term. As a writing and math tutor, it's important that the student not only improves the assignment at hand, but also, that they develop skills and strategies that strengthen independent learning.

In College, I balanced my tutoring jobs with a Suma Cum Laude, Honors Student GPA of 3.97, and served as the president of my a cappella group! I'm an incredibly active and clear communicator, ad understand just how important clear and concise writing is for an individual to develop. A good writing tutor should give you the ability to communicate your thoughts as best you can, and should support you in performing excellently on upcoming exams. I performed exceptionally on my ACT and SAT exams in high school, which gave me the privilege to choose between many wonderful academic options. For aspiring university students, I'm dedicated to getting you the same results.

Since I'm new to Wyzant, I've kept my prices low to ensure my tutoring is accessible and easy to get started. Finding the right tutor takes time and consideration, and I'm thrilled to be a part of that process, but never expect commitment. A first appointment is a great opportunity to see if you mesh with my style! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I performed very well on my own ACT, and since then, I've honed my ability to communicate this skill to others through tutoring. In my experience as a writing tutor, I've seen a great variety of written work, and developed the high perception of grammatical structure that the ACT test gauges.
ACT Reading

ACT Reading

I aced the ACT reading section in high school, and have since worked as a writing tutor, where the most important part of my job is to read attentively, focusing on exactly what the student is communicating. On the ACT, your goal is to read attentively and quickly, so working with students to parse through complex paragraphs and deftly extract main ideas is my forte.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

When I worked for the non-profit, Beacon Place, I chose to give my sixth and seventh graders a head start on algebra, integrating algebraic equations into lessons before they learned it in school. I'm proud that I fostered this preparedness and helped them approach the upcoming school year with confidence.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

during my time at Beacon Place, many of the students weren't quite at Algebra 1 level. I gave these students special attention, guiding them through pre-algebraic concepts to prepare them for the upcoming school year. To dive into algebra, a student needs a steady foundation. Understanding why multiplication symbols are suddenly dots, what "X" actually means, and how these algebraic equations can apply to everyone's life and potential careers.
Writing

Writing

To become hired at the Ott Memorial Writing center, I needed to take a full class in which I demonstrated proficiency in the wide range of written material the writing center typically sees. I wrote literature reviews, personal essays, opinion pieces, research proposals, and more, to ensure that no matter what a student brought me, and no matter what assignment they needed to complete, I could meet them where they were to complete the assignment together.
