9+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Social Studies. I am one semester away from finishing my Master's degree in Political Science from the University of Illinois Springfield. I have been teaching high school for five years and LOVE my job and working with students! I have taught AP World History, AP Economics, AP Psychology, United States History, and AP Government and Politics. The best part of my job is working with students individually to help them achieve their academic and personal goals. I have extensive experience tutoring students- both in the discipline of social studies, as well as in math and writing. My philosophy in working with students is to meet them where they're at and use a variety of techniques and strategies to help them grow and accomplish their goals. I firmly believe that students are capable of accomplishing more than they ever thought possible- and I LOVE unlocking that potential in each student that I work with. I am passionate about helping people grow and develop into the best possible version of themselves! It is truly an honor to work with students, and I feel privileged to serve in the role of a teacher and tutor.

Mariam
BA University of Illinois at Springfield
6+ Years Tutoring

I began Saint Louis University as an Art Major on a pre-dental track in my first two years attending this institute. Therefore I took all the necessary courses such as biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, pre-calculus and calculus in my undergraduate two years at Saint Louis University. I then transferred my credits over to University of Illinois in Springfield in which I completed my degree in Fine Arts. During my time at University of Illinois Springfield, I tutored students college level mathematics, which included Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus tutoring. Saint Louis University and University of Illinois in Springfield both have a very diverse group of students. And I believe that every student thinks and learns very differently.Therefore, I know that not every approach will work with each and every student. I am willing to find the best method of learning for each student I come across. I especially like to make learning fun and easy to understand. I feel that visual aids are some of the best ways to understand a question and answer. I love experiencing that "ah-ha" moment with each and every student. Therefore, I'm willing to keep at it until he or she feels comfortable with each concept or question we come across.
