"My name is Mallory Lawler, and I am a Professional Learning Specialist at West40 ISC (a regional office of education) where I support, coach, and train teachers across 40 districts in West Cook County. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Psychology and magna cum laude with a Master’s degree in Curriculum Design and Instruction, specializing in English for Speakers of Other Languages. I also hold an endorsement in Social-Emotional Learning and have presented at national conferences on civic engagement and social-emotional learning.

With 12 years of experience as a classroom teacher, team leader, and instructional coach, I have developed expertise in innovative practices, academic rigor, and social-emotional learning. My career began during college, where I worked as a nanny and tutor, gaining invaluable experience supporting children’s growth socially, emotionally, and academically.

I have 14 years of tutoring experience, working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade. My tutoring sessions focus on building confidence and engagement through skill practice, interactive activities, and meaningful discussions. I am passionate about creating supportive learning environments that empower students to overcome challenges and reach their full potential." less...
