Meet the Tutors

My teaching career began in 2015 after graduating from Augustana College. For my first six year of teaching worked in a social studies classroom with 7th grade middle school students in the western suburbs with a wide range of social, emotional, and academic needs. At my school I have co taught with special education teachers and speech pathologists and have experience differentiating my instruction and accommodating content to make learning accessible for all students.

I am currently a reading specialist and help students develop their literacy skills. Literate citizens are a corner stone of a democratic society and I have spent my career promoting literacy in my classroom. The core of my philosophy is that when a teacher can spark curiosity every student can be the creators of their own learning.
