As a passionate educator with a wealth of experience in education, I have dedicated my career to nurturing and expanding the malleable minds of young scholars in the realm of social studies. Currently, I am a full-time high school teacher, conveying knowledge to two different grade levels of 9th and 10th grade. For 9th grade, I teach Honors and General Education Ethnic Studies and for 10th grade, I teach AP and General Education World History. My journey began at DePaul University, where I learned the fundamentals of instruction at the secondary education level for social studies. With an Illinois social studies licensure, I continued my journey at the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Master of Science in Education, honing and sharpening my skills in teaching strategies, critical thinking, and data analysis.

My educational philosophy centers around providing equitable access to high-quality education for all students and learning backgrounds. With strong determination and a high-quality work ethic, I employ innovative teaching methods that cater to various learning styles. My approach to instruction has proven successful, as I've cultivated relationships with hundreds of students across Chicago's urban education. I foster a classroom atmosphere that encourages collaboration and critical discussions. My goal is not just to educate but to inspire and instill a passion for learning while understanding one's role in the future.

In addition to academic pursuits, I bring a strong positive attitude and a creative mindset into my tutoring sessions. I believe that education should be a flexible experience, and I strive to cultivate an atmosphere where students are encouraged to think critically while feeling safe to express their ideas. With my unique blend of experience, skills, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I am excited for the opportunity to serve as your next tutor to provide an opportunity to improve and benefit another's educational journey.
