"I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2010, and since then I have worked with youth of all ages, giving homework help, working on test taking skills, and practicing reading and writing. In high school I learned how to be a proficient test taker, graduated first in my class, and scored 800 Verbal, 760 Math on the SATs.

In college I spent all 4 years volunteering with youth in elementary and middle school, serving as a homework helper and mentor. After college I spent 4 years living in Boston working with youth aged 16-21. During that time I worked with students from diverse backgrounds with all kinds of learning styles and specific skills. I loved working with each young adult, learning who they were and how to uniquely support them in reaching their potential. And throughout this I learned to be patient, open minded, and creative in adapting to each individual.

I now live in Chicago. I work as a designer, making things with my hands every day. I am passionate about visual arts and music, and feel strongly about the connection between thinking with your head and with your hands. In my spare time I am a woodworker, an avid reader, and a frequent concert-goer." less...
