"Education is my passion, and with over twenty years in the field, I’ve had the privilege of working in teaching, tutoring, and mentorship roles. I have supported the academic growth of thousands of students across elementary, high school, university, and private tutoring settings. Believing firmly that education is the pathway to opportunity, my aim is to help students break barriers hindering their academic progress, and empower them to reach their full potential.

My tutoring services span a diverse range of subjects: algebra, statistics, calculus, precalculus, geometry, biology, chemistry, probability, English language arts, reading, writing, and a broad range of test preparations for standardized exams, including ACT, SAT, and AP exams. My tutoring approach is both engaging and effective, with each session tailored to meet the individual needs of the student, and planned to ensure maximum success.

With a positive and motivational aura, I hold high academic expectations for students. It is in my experience that, with patience, practice, and effort, students gain tremendous confidence and experience significant academic improvement after my tutoring sessions.

I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching from Calumet College of St. Joseph, and a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Biology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My graduate education program has greatly enhanced my ability to teach and tutor effectively. The skills and knowledge I gained from these programs have allowed me to develop more effective teaching strategies, better understand student needs, and create an engaging learning environment. I apply these insights to help each student achieve outstanding academic success.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy learning Swedish, practicing the piano, reading for leisure, exploring nature centers, volunteering, and spending time with friends and family. The balance between hobbies and professional responsibilities continues to inspire my efforts and strengthen my impact as an educator." less...
