Lorrie D.

Hello, my name is Lorrie, I am a junior at Elmhurst University. I am originally from Ohio, but my athletics guided me to Illinois. I’m currently studying Digital Marketing and Communications with a minor in Art.
Personally, I excelled in math, art, and music throughout High school.  I have experience working with middle school aged students through after school programs, and I’ve worked with elementary aged students as a student teacher while in high school.
During high school I was a varsity Bowler for four years, in the school band for two years, and I participated in school clubs including the German club and the Art club. Along with all my extracurriculars, I was a library assistant for three years.
On campus I am a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC), a full-time athlete, and I work two internships, one for athletics and the other for our dining facilities. With all this I still search out time to assist children in their academic pursuits.

Kevin W. is a certified teacher and I have 15 years of teaching experience in the field of elementary through middle school education. I specialize in Reading and English, with a passion for helping kids of all ages succeed in school. With my years working in the classroom, I understand the student’s needs and strive to find the best approach to boosting their grades and confidence. I’m an interactive and supportive tutor, using visual aids and modern technology to ensure the student’s needs are met and that their learning experience is both fun and informative.
Kevin graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana with a Bachelor and American University with a graduate degree. Kevin takes his time to carefully explain and break down content in a way that is palatable because he feels that many students are intimidated by the daunting quantity and quality of academia that is aligned with standardized testing; part of his job is alleviating that intimidation by breaking down the test and dissecting it piece by piece with the students. Kevin is very skilled at refining college essays and guiding students through the application process. He sees himself as a facilitator of precise writing and critical reading. Kevin immerses himself along with his students in the art of writing by modeling the edits and revisions. His students have shown growth in their test-taking abilities, and they enjoy his energetic enthusiasm; making questions/content relevant to students which helps tremendously in their retention of information. Kevin values independent practice work to maintain consistency and promote diligent work habits. Kevin caters to the cognitive needs of all students.
