Jay
Knowledgeable Guitar & Music Theory Tutor
Hiya! I have been playing guitar for over 10 years and have been teaching for over 5. I take my guitar lessons very seriously because I love what I teach. With that being said, I joke ALL the time. In fact, humor is so paramount to me that people have told me my improvisation "sounds like [I'm] telling jokes." I am a bit of a Music Theory nerd. Understanding the theory is an amazing tool to have as a player. It is the difference between a hobbyist and a professional. But even a hobby... Read more

My name is Cindy! I have a Bachelor's degree in French and Psychology and a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I have experience tutoring both ESL and French for college-age students in a one-on-one setting.

James
Jim W. English, Reading, ACT Prep
Since elementary school, I have taken a liking to the English language arts. I was initially drawn to this subject area when I realized that my skills in it came to me naturally. However, I am no stranger to the difficulty of learning something that does not click right away. For this reason, I love teaching students who find English concepts to be particularly challenging. Through my easy-going communication skills and willingness to be thorough when breaking down an idea, no concept will be... Read more

A modern, innovative educator & lifelong learner.
I'm originally from Oak Lawn and a graduate of Oak Lawn Community High School. After being declined admission to my dream school (Notre Dame), I spent my first year of college at Illinois State University. However, after a strong first year of studies, I earned admission to Notre Dame through a transfer application. This taught me to never give up on one's dream, and to persevere through difficult times with focus, determination, and hard work. By way of this combination, anything is possible... Read more
