About Kevin

After earning my Molecular and Cell Biology B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I applied and earned 1 of 66 seats (~1,700 applications) at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. I love the biomedical sciences: physiology, anatomy, molecular genetics, immunology, and pathology, and those are just a few of my favorites!

I never went on to become a dentist; I worked hard for three years at UIC College of Dentistry, but I withdrew from the program as I found little passion for what I discovered to be the day-to-day activities and duties of a general dentist.

I always learned best through teaching others. I often used my ability or inability to explain concepts to peers or professors as a reliable indicator of my grasp of a subject. With a natural affinity for explaining ideas to others, I started tutoring after dental school.

I never expected to be a private tutor for what is now nearly six years!

In the past, I've privately tutored up to 21 students per week, in-person and online. I am now a law student who, like everyone else, has only 24 hours per day. Still, I meet consistently with two students every week online via Zoom. As another semester of school commences for students, I'd love to find 2-3 students looking for a well-rounded, highly experienced and personable tutor.

If I decide to work with a student, I give them the personalized attention they need. Whether I'm on the clock in a scheduled session or replying to a student's last-minute question via text, I take care of my students because I care. I'm easygoing but also professional and driven. I build rapport and healthy mentorships with students through mutual respect.

I graduated from law school in May 2025. I am currently a Professor at Southern Illinois University - Carbondale. I teach a 200-level course entitled The Legal and Social Environment of Business. I also work for the Institute for Reforming Government, a Milwaukee-based political think-tank. I have an array of experience and knowledge to share with students, and I love tutoring, Teaching and mentoring students has been one of my most consistent and rewarding experiences of my life.

Find a tutor with whom you feel comfortable engaging in meaningful discussion and asking questions.

Confirm your tutor is fluent in your course(s) and field(s) of study by requesting to know more about their academic and professional background.

Definitely check reviews from the tutor's previous students/clients: these are most certainly the best indicators of the tutor's success (or lack thereof) and their students' experiences.
