Experienced and Encouraging Tutor--Math and Reading

After growing up in the south suburbs of Chicago, I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and received a degree in Economics with a minor in Statistics. I currently work in development for a nonprofit think tank.

Previously, I spent two years working at Kumon, a tutoring center in Orland Park, IL dedicated to giving students confidence in school and advancing them past their grade level. I was given training on the best teaching techniques for each age level, and I gained experience tutoring students aged five to eighteen years old. I spent another two years volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club of Champaign, IL, serving as a mentor and tutor to the children there.

My extensive background in tutoring has given me the ability to support students throughout their academic years and to give them the confidence that they can excel in school regardless of their background or mindset. I hope to instill inspiration and excitement in students, just as was done for me throughout my education.

I would love to give you the skills and confidence needed to excel in school. Please feel free to contact me for more information!
