Zachary M.
Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
JD from DePaul College of Law in 2010. B.A. in History, with a concentration in American History and Urban Development from Kenyon College in 2004. I'm 33 years old.
Experience
I am the President/Founder of Ampersand Services, LLC and the Executive Director/Founder of Ampersand Not For Profit. Taken together, Ampersand provides superior yet affordable legal and business services to entrepreneurs, small businesses, and charitable causes. At Ampersand, we believe that difference-makers should never be barred from the help they need because of cost it takes to get the help of lawyers, accountants, or any professional business services. I also believe that society's next generation of difference-makers need to be nurtured, encouraged, and stimulated beginning at a young age. All students, whether gifted or developing at their own pace deserve access to the same resources. From kindergarten though law school, I was regularly placed in gifted programs, but also struggled with ADHD. I'm personally familiar with both ends of the spectrum. From 1996-2000, I tutored elementary and middle school students in history, English comprehension, composition, and social studies. Currently, I mentor young lawyers. I am interested in working with students from kindergarten all the way through college. Every age group, combined with the subject matter in question, present unique and rewarding scenarios for me. Rates may vary depending on the age and needs of the student, the subject matter, and the frequency of appointments. In-person appointments are preferred to on-line appointments.
