Hi! I am a National Tutoring Association (NTA) certified professional advanced level tutor, and a Purdue University graduate, with a Bachelor's degree in Management and Information Systems. I am 1 of only 3 NTA advanced level certified tutors in Illinois. I have 10 years of tutoring experience.
Since September 2015, I have been a volunteer tutor at Waukegan to College, a non-profit organization in Waukegan, IL, that helps first-generation students with the process of getting into and through college. I tutor 5th to 12th grade students one-on-one, and work with them on mathematics (elementary school math to Calculus I), reading and writing. To date, I have dedicated over 800 hours of service and have worked with over 50 students that are part of this organization.
Since April 2022, I have also been a private tutor. To date, I have tutored over 250 students from over 40 US states and Canadian provinces and over 20 colleges and universities on a one-on-one basis, both in-person and online. I tutor elementary school to college level students, including adult learners, in mathematics (all the way up to Calculus II), the SAT and ACT (all subjects), and writing.
When I tutor, I always make sure that I'm engaging, patient, effectively communicating, and actively listening to my students. It gives me an opportunity to understand where the student resides in terms of their learning preference and style. From there, I take inventory of what a student needs to improve and be effective. After performing these steps, I devise a lesson plan based on agreed upon goals and outcomes that the student/parent and I have discussed.
I am deeply committed and passionate about working with students to ensure that they are receiving one-on-one instruction that is personalized to their needs, and to empower them to achieve academic success. I am approachable, and will respond promptly to any messages. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a session, feel free to contact me!
