Experience
Effective tutoring is about creating a relationship with the student that revolves around trust, dedication and enthusiasm. I work hard to develop this kind of mentoring relationship with all of my students by seeking to understand their interests and passions. I often spend the first couple minutes of each session catching up with my students about their lives outside of school. This helps create a strong rapport between student and tutor, which helps motivate the student to work hard, and truly enjoy the sessions. I strive to include games, real-world applications and helpful websites. I have been tutoring kids of all ages for the past 5 years. I often work 1-on-1 but have also developed multiple group sessions. I founded a tutoring business in Chicago called "Jumpstart Chicago" that specializes in these unique group sessions, including an ACT prep class and an executive function class that helps 7-graders get more organized, manage their time, create habits and more. I have worked with over 150 students in the past 5 years and have received great reviews from both kids and parents. For specific parent and students reviews, please explore the testimonial section of my website: http://jumpstartchicago.weebly.com/testimonial.html I enjoy being a tutor because I believe that all students have the capacity to succeed. I strive to help my students develop a growth mindset so that they view hard classes as challenges and understand that they can improve in any subject, so long as they are willing to practice. I first seek to establish motivation, then provide students with specific skills and lessons. I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects and specialize in ACT Prep, math and executive function skills such as organization, time management and communication. I have taken the ACT over 10 times and have scored as high as 35 on multiple occasions.
