As a tutor I bring a unique, non academic perspective to my tutoring work.
As a current small business owner and public speaker and performer I am able to add "real world" layers to the subjects I tutor in.

About Me

I spent almost five years as a part owner of an airline, I have worked in human resources, and property management as well. It has become very clear to me that the state of education and academic success requires as many voices and approaches that we can muster in our work towards student success in education and in life. I have taught at the elementary level in all subject areas and Special Education from grades K-12. I was granted a license to teach Woodshop based on my life and business experience and have done so for the Chicago Public Schools. I look forward to inspiring and working with students!

Q&A with Peter

Teaching comes with understanding a student's perspective first. Perspective, in this case, can mean asking these questions and more if need be. What is the student's preferred learning modality? What type of learning environment works best for the student? What method of determining mastery of a subject works for the student? How do a student and a teacher build a productive relationship?
