Dr. Daniel N.

Daniel Njoku, MD is a dedicated tutor with a strong background in math, science, medical education, and executive functioning. He specializes in helping middle and high school students in Algebra and science build confidence through clear explanations, step-by-step problem solving, and a calm, encouraging teaching style.

Daniela D.

Daniela graduated from The University of Texas at Austin (Hook ’em, Longhorns!) with a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience, along with a Teaching Minor/Certificate that allowed her to work with students from K–12.

Neuroscience is deeply rooted in math and science, which allows Daniela to bring a strong academic foundation to both subjects. She is skilled at breaking down complex ideas, modeling step-by-step thinking, and supporting students with strategies that align with how the brain learns best.

Daniela is currently pursuing her Master of Education at Arcadia University, where she is expanding her expertise in effective instruction, equitable practices, and understanding diverse learning needs. Whether working with younger learners or teens, her goal is always the same: to create a warm, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, developing strong math and science skills, and discovering confidence in themselves as learners.

Creativity is a core tenet of his and because of that he loves to design personalized, engaging sessions that balance creative freedom with structured feedback so that each student grows as both thinker and creator. Because of this more creativity-focused approach, crafting relationships with my students is paramount to me. Learning about their lives and helping them succeed is just as important to me as their academics. Kyle is a lifelong reader, film buff, devoted sci‑fi and fantasy fan, bass guitar player, and avid Chicago & New York sports fan (Cubs/Sox Mets/Jets).
