Your Trusted Partner For

Math Tutoring, Academic Support, and Parent Coaching

I empower 7th-12th grade students and their parents in the Oak Park & River Forest, IL community with the skills, structure, confidence, and direction they need to succeed, together.

Every student can learn math and navigate executive functioning or academic challenges. And every parent can find the right path forward when they feel unsure of how to support or relate to their student. (Believe me, I've witnessed it firsthand!)

More Than Math Tutoring and Homework Help

A Long-Term Academic Partnership For You and Your Student.

Imagine this. An experienced coach and educator comes into your home every week during the school year to work directly with you and your student throughout middle school and high school.

Together, we work on current challenges and goals.

Maybe your student needs support with closing math skill gaps or managing their time. Maybe you need a thought partner, someone well-versed in the school system, who can help you get on the same page with your student or navigate an academic hurdle.

After every session, we do a quick family huddle to align on progress, needs, and next steps. Everyone leaves feeling more connected, hopeful, and capable. 

That’s what I can offer you, and the countless other Chicago-area families I’ve worked with. Not just tutoring, but an ongoing partnership that supports both you and your student.

Two hands coming together to form a heart shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with 7th-12th grade students and their parents, in Oak Park and River Forest, IL. I can also support Chicago-area students in-person or virtually.

    I work with students of all backgrounds and identities, and am sensitive to the different challenges students face such as ADHD, learning struggles, and IEP or 504 accommodation needs.

    I believe in meeting students directly where they are and creating customized strategies for them, which requires a 1:1 session.

    Parent coaching sessions are more reflective. Rather than giving you direct advice, I ask questions and use tools or frameworks to help you explore what’s happening, recognize patterns, and determine your next steps.
