The unique interaction between student and teacher is what makes tutoring such a rewarding experience for me. All students have the ability to grow and mature in their learning.

Respect the past; Influence the future.
I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, but have embraced Bloomington-Normal as my home since moving here in 1994. While the magnetism of Illinois State University was the initial draw that brought me here, the comforts of a community that respects education, promotes diversity, and seeks excellence kept me here. A favorite of story of mine is when, for the first time, I shocked myself when I referred to Bloomington-Normal as home, which it now is. As dyed-in-the-wool a city b... Read more
