Experience

I earned my bachelor's degree in English, and went on to obtain my master's degree in Education, both from the Illinois State University. I noticed that the students in the city's public schools were, in general, reading at a much lower level than they were expected to, and that motivated me to pursue another master's degree in Reading to set myself up to have the ability to begin dealing with this issue. I have experience tutoring students from kindergarten through their senior year in high school, and in all academic areas. This has allowed me to hone my skills and methods, and I had great success with my students. One of the reasons for that is the flexibility I have as a tutor. Each student is unique as to their combination of learning styles and pace, as well as interests, strengths, and challenges. Therefore, I am flexible as a tutor and adjust my teaching style to the one that works best for each individual student. I find satisfaction in empowering students to not only achieve, but exceed their goals. I tutor in most school subjects, and am also available to work with students on preparing for standardized exams, such as the GRE, MCAT, ISEE, SAT, and others.
