Experience

In my experience, students learn best when they are provided guidance and clear instruction rather than simple memorization. One-on-one instruction provides the type of interaction and personalized lessons where students can learn effectively. This leads to a deeper understanding of the material and better grades. I was a tutor for middle school through college prep courses in social studies and related courses. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and History with a minor in leadership studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In addition to tutoring, I work as an IT contractor for Scott. Concurrently, I am pursuing advanced studies in secondary education, working towards my endorsement. I plan to continue my education in this field, as I have a keen interest in the intersection of technology and education. I also enjoy substitute teaching when I can fit it into my schedule.I tutor a variety of subjects, especially history (European history, AP comparative government and politics, AP United States history, IB history HL, IB history SL, world history, and world civilization), and English (reading, writing, essay editing, literature, grammar and mechanics, classics, and college essays). When I am not tutoring or working, I enjoy watching Formula 1 racing, video games, soccer, and baseball.
