About Evan

Hello! I'm Evan, a passionate and dedicated tutor based in Chicago. At 26 years old, I bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions. I hold a degree in Marketing from Iowa State University, where I not only honed my academic skills but also discovered my love for teaching while tutoring fellow students.

After graduating, I ventured into the dynamic world of start-ups, working for innovative companies and even a stint at Twitter. These experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective and a diverse skill set. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to create my own company, where I further developed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.

My tutoring expertise spans English, writing, reading, and test preparation. I believe in a personalized approach, tailoring each session to meet the individual needs of my students. My goal is to help you achieve academic success while building confidence and a love for learning. Let's embark on this educational journey together and reach your full potential!
