Dylan
Chicago-based Social Studies Tutor
I am a firm believer in the adage, "Education is the key to success." Though this phrase perhaps has been overused to the point of becoming a hollow cliche, I believe it still carries profound significance. It speaks to the importance of education not only for the success of an individual, but for society as a whole. Education opens doors. It is for this reason that I decided to channel my time and energy into the field of education and working with students to help them to continually grow a... Read more
