I started tutoring as an MFA student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and have since had the pleasure to aid many students in achieving their academic goals. My experience as a tutor has taught me two things: all students have the potential to reach their academic goals, no matter how challenged they may be at first; and a student who feels empowered to take control of their academic destiny is capable of anything. I have had success as a tutor because I take great pleasure in working with students who are in the process of finding their own voices and sense of achievement. While the process of doing so is never easy and at times frustrating, a little patience and a dedication to understanding the individual variances of each student keeps my job consistently rewarding.
