Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
Senior anthropology major, economics minor, Arabic concentration, at Northwestern University
Experience
35 ACT, etc I tutor because I love helping people. I work hard, and as long as the student works hard, we get results. Every student I have had has reached his or her goal. I love meeting people, and I'm really easy to get along with. I've been tutoring since my sophomore year of high school, so about six years now. I've had kids from 5-18 and a few adults too! I have had experience in all of the subjects I offer; please contact me directly to learn more. My tutoring philosophy is that no matter what you are leaning, you should always know why. Once you understand the subject's impact on your life, it's honestly hard NOT to want to succeed. I use a modified mother tongue method. This means that I immerse the student in whatever s/he is studying to push boundaries past te comfort zone. By making and correcting mistakes, it's possible I learn and understand at a much more fundamental level. Please contact me; I'd love to work with you!

Hobbies
I love to read, see my friends and older brother, go shopping for shoes and home decor, and work out. I spend a large portion of my time doing my school work, though, because I enjoy having everything in perfect order. My favorite TV shows currently are Big Bang Theory, Pretty Little Liars and reruns of Friends. The last good book I read was "My Happy Life" by Lydia Millet, and I'm a big fan of behavioral economics/ psychology books for non-academics like "The Willpower Instinct" and "Mindset."
