About
17 years experience at Adlai E. Stevenson High School Lincolnshire Il., working as a math tutor in the Learning Center. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Math Education from DePaul University, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from Illinois State University, as well as a Standard Secondary Teaching Certification (6-12) from Northeastern Illinois University.
The greatest feeling in the world is when you see that light go on. The look in their faces when they grasp the concept is what it is all about. I love the one-on-one, this is the best way to truly understand where the disconnects are, break down the thinking process, and rebuild from scratch if necessary, otherwise just tweak it a little.

Barry is an excellent teacher, very friendly and professional. My 11 years old son is an
international student and he really helped him through his transition to the new school.
Well probably be getting more classes with him in the near future. I highly recommend
him.

approachable. He did an excellent job working to ensure I really understood the concepts
we covered and that I would feel confident applying them in class, on tests, etc. I worked
