Personalized One-On-One Learning

Schools do their best, but classrooms with 25+ students can’t tailor lessons to every learning style. Some students grasp concepts quickly, while others need a different explanation or pace – not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because every brain learns differently.

That’s where one-on-one tutoring makes a real difference. I adapt each lesson to match the student’s strengths, learning style and interests. When possible, I tie concepts to real-life examples – like using a baseball player’s batting average to teach probabilities. This personal connection keeps students engaged and helps the material finally “click.”

Convenience & Flexibility

I understand that students are busy with school, homework and extracurricular activities. That’s why tutoring can take place in the comfort of your home, or virtually if preferred. I’ve worked with students across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, from Orland Park to Sheridan Park.

Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes and may be conducted weekly or as needed. I make a sincere effort to accommodate short-term or long-term schedule changes – early mornings, evenings or weekends when possible.

Additional Support

Repetition and practice are key to mastering new concepts. I provide unlimited practice problems with solutions, sent via email, at no extra charge. Students can reinforce lessons between sessions, giving them the confidence to succeed.

Experience & Value

I’ve been tutoring full-time for over a decade, after starting at a large learning center where families paid high rates but often worked with inexperienced college students. Working independently allows me to offer professional-level tutoring at a fair rate.

Families consistently notice the difference after just one session – personalized attention, proven results and a focus on understanding, not just memorization. You can read testimonials here.
