Our Story:
Welcome to Well-Rounded Educational Services! My journey in education began in the early 1980's when I started tutoring and teaching children in my community. Driven by a passion for helping others and a belief in the power of education, I launched a community program in 1991 that offered free tutoring to disadvantaged youth in the urban community. This program aimed to provide support and opportunities for children who were often overlooked by the traditional school system.
With over 30 years of tutoring experience, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds. From substitute teaching and homeschooling to serving as a Youth Services Specialist, I have dedicated my career to fostering educational growth and development. My experience includes program development, reading instruction for infants and toddlers, and personalized tutoring services.
One of my proudest achievements was being the best speller in my school and representing my elementary school at the district spelling bee in 8th grade. This early success in spelling sparked my lifelong love for words and language, which I now pass on to my students through vocabulary building and spelling instruction.
While running my home daycare, I provided reading instruction, homework help, and tutoring in various subjects, including test preparation for the ACT, GED, ASVAB, Constitution Test, and Driver's License Test. I have successfully passed numerous exams myself, including the postal exam, civil service exam, ASVAB, U.S. Constitution test, CDL test, Illinois Driver's License test, and California Driver's License test. This personal experience with test preparation allows me to offer invaluable insights and strategies to my students.
Currently, I teach English as a Second Language (ESL) online, helping non-native speakers improve their language skills. I also teach basic math skills up to the 3rd-grade level, ensuring a strong foundation for future academic success.
