About Leigh

Hello! My name is Leigh, and I am an experienced tutor with over 11 years of experience. I am the Program Manager for Kid in the Corner, a nonprofit organization dedicated to youth mental health awareness. I am also completing my Master's degree in Social Work and will graduate in May 2025. Since high school, I have tutored students of nearly all ages, as young as kindergarten up to high school. I also worked as a social work intern in the Office of Diverse Learners in Chicago Public Schools, where I gained valuable experience about strategies and methods to effectively support students with diverse and special needs. I am comfortable teaching nearly all subjects to grade school and high school students, and I am especially accomplished in writing and English. I am friendly, warm and patient with my students. I hold a BA in Linguistics from Northwestern University and have a passion for empowering students to succeed academically and personally. I look forward to working with you!
