Your Examined Life specializes in personalized tutoring programs for high school students that build confidence, increase skill sets, and routinely meet and exceed targets. �Primarily focusing on standardized test preparation, the programs diagnose all students at their current level and challenge them to strive higher. �Students who go through the programs believe in themselves and routinely score higher on their exams.In addition to test prep, one-on-one tutoring is also available in Social Studies, English, Government, Economics, Mathematics (Algebra I, Algebra II/Trig, and Geometry), Study Skills, and College Admission Preparation and Essay Writing. History Established in 2007. Since 2007, I have tutored over 50 students in a variety of subjects. �All of my work is customized to fit the needs of each student and each of my clients receives my utmost care and consideration. �I bring a unique approach to tutoring by building my instruction into a genuine relationship with the student. �Unlike other tutoring centers where the focus is largely on the skills and the content, I integrate the skills and content into a larger focus on the actual student. �Students and families have come to trust this approach because it has brought them the results that they want.
A little over thirty years ago, I was born in Leningrad, USSR (neither of which exist anymore...). �After several transformative years that included immigrating to the US at the tender age of 9, wading through suburban education, earning a Political Science degree from Northwestern University, and briefly considering a life as a corporate lawyer, I ultimately discovered the only possible career track for me: education. �After scoring a Master's Degree in Education from DePaul University, I took my talents to the Far East, where I taught English in Japanese elementary and junior high schools. �But my desire to work with high-school aged adolescents brought me back stateside where I spent five years teaching history at Chicagoland Jewish High School in Deerfield, IL. �Today, I am teaching Government, Economics and Human Geography at the Chicago High School for the Arts. �When I'm not teaching or hanging with my little son, I'm tutoring!
