"Louise is a results-obsessed SAT/ACT and math tutor with 15 years of classroom teaching and online tutoring experience. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelors Degree in Math and Computer Science and then went to Columbia University on a full scholarship for her Masters in secondary math education. She taught high school math in New York City for 5 years as a Math for America fellow before transitioning to full time SAT/ACT and math tutoring.

students learning English as a foreign language. Her methodical, organized approach helps every student achieve his or her potential, even when the material seems daunting. She has a patient and calm manner which puts her students at ease so they can learn.

Outside of tutoring, Louise enjoys gardening, crochet, and swimming. In high school she lettered in debate and speech and was president of the debate team, winning awards at the local and state levels. In

college she studied abroad in France, Guatemala, and Ecuador. She currently lives in rural Southern Illinois with her husband, 4 kids, 3 dogs, and 17 chickens." less...
