I have a BA in Spanish, an MA in Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse, and an undergrad degree in general science, including coursework in Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. I can tutor all of these subjects through at least a high school level.

I have over 15 years of teaching and tutoring students with a wide spectrum of learning abilities and styles. I teach non-fiction writing at the college level, and I excel in math and science communication. This is where I have focused most of my tutoring for the past 10 years.

I tailor tutoring to students’ needs and parents’ expectations.

Math & Science
Whether students struggle or excel in math and science, I am typically able to improve the experience for them. Some math and science teachers struggle to communicate complex content with students; I excel at translating complex science and math into easy-to-understand content for my students. Students who work with me see their understanding (and their grades) in math and science improve drastically.

One of the best compliments I have received was a student saying to her mom, "I wish I could just go to the 'school of Andrea.' When she explains this stuff, it makes sense."

ADHD and Executive Function Coaching
I provide ADHD and executive function coaching for high schoolers through professionals. I help people develop realistic strategies to remove or reduce obstacles in their workflows due to ADHD symptoms.

My goal is to transition clients into independently implementing strategies with an occasional check-in to recalibrate methods that may not be working well anymore. My clients gain confidence in their abilities and apply the problem-solving skills and workflow strategies that I teach them to familiar and new challenges in school, work, and relationships.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

Math is vital to my area of study, and I've taken numerous college level math classes. I have gained a high degree of understanding of math, and I love teaching it to junior high and high school students. I have learned many strategies over the years for teaching math from elementary level through Calculus. I love to see students "Aha!" moments when it comes to math. In addition to math content, I teach test taking and time management strategies that allow students to use the math skills they have to the best advantage on the ACT. Students usually improve their scores between 3 and 5 points on this section after working with me regularly for a couple of months.
Algebra 1

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have taken 4 semesters of college level chemistry - 2 semesters of General Chemistry and 2 semesters of Organic Chemistry. I did very well in these classes due in part to an excellent professor. I like to help students gain an understanding of this subject that at one time was very difficult for me but that I grew to love.

Great SAT Help

Andrea is very patient and thorough. First step to successful test taking is understanding the problems/questions. She gave my daughter a lot of help in this area.

Mary, 7 lessons with Andrea

Flexible and knowledgable

Andrea helped me with my college level business calculus class. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped me understand the core concepts needed to succeed in the course. She was able to accommodate for my learning style easily, and was patient while I was trying to grasp the concepts. I would highly recommend Andrea as a tutor.

Great tutor!

My daughter has worked with Andrea for several weeks now. I can't say enough great things about her! We've worked on Spanish, Geometry and Biology. She teaches in such a way that my daughter can understand the material. My daughter's confidence in school has grown and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Suzanne, 10 lessons with Andrea

knowledgable and patient

Andrea was helpful with our daughter's calc homework. She is, unfortunately, located a bit too far for our daughter to drive to on a routine basis so we will have to look for a tutor closer to our home. I would recommend her to others in her Glen Ellyn area.

Catherine, 1 lesson with Andrea

Love Her

Andrea is awesome! She's so patient and kind, and makes so much more sense than my insane physics teacher! I would probably be failing this class without her. If you're looking for someone to help you in a class that actually takes the time to figure out *how* you learn, then she's the one for you.

Jim, 28 lessons with Andrea

Very helpful!

Andrea is so knowledgeable and patient with my daughter. She has given her the confidence we needed to work through physics. We highly recommend Andrea!

Great Tutoring

My son enjoys reviewing with Andrea and she explains anything he has questions on. She is always on time and has an upbeat positive attitude!

Tom & Maureen, 33 lessons with Andrea

Wow: The lesson plan provided more empowerment to learn at a higher level. She helped me MASTER techniques to handle math.

Andrea taught me math for the ACT. Andrea allowed me to complete problems, and then explain how I created solutions verbally making me a master of problem solving. I learned more with Andrea at a higher level than the entire school year in becoming a thinking problem solver for math. Thanks Andrea!!!

Mark, 2 lessons with Andrea

Patient

I really liked the way she taught. She approached things from different views. I liked her teaching methods that she used.

Bob, 8 lessons with Andrea

Significant results in short period of time

Andrea has been working with my HS sophomore on his Honors Chem class for a few weeks now, and we have seen a significant improvement in his scores. He actually asks to schedule lessons with her and goes quite willingly -- his schedule is already tight, so if the lessons weren't helping him, he would not be asking for them. Thanks, Andrea!
