May Pair of the Month

For more than 5 years, Marco and D’Angelo have been unstoppable. From playing chess together to ‘aha’ moments, this pair’s commitment to each other is long lasting. 

Marco has been a tutor for more than 15 years and is ending his time at Tutoring Chicago with D’Angelo, the best student yet. We appreciate his dedication and commitment to helping the youth of Chicago for so many years!

Since Marco and D’Angelo began working together, D’Angelo’s confidence, consistency in completing assignments, and a deeper understanding of key concepts have grown to new levels. D’Angelo’s participation and problem-solving skills have also improved significantly.

What makes Marco and D’Angelo’s relationship special is the mutual trust and respect they have built. Marco says, “It’s rewarding to see their growth and know I’ve played a part in their academic and personal development. D’Angelo has evolved every year they have worked together. The “aha” moments and a newfound confidence were the true highlights of their time together. Another highlight was each time they played chess together!

Marco says, “Tutoring has shown me that every student learns differently, and with the right support, anyone can succeed. It’s also reinforced that teaching is a two‑way street: I learn just as much from my students as they do from me, and that patience, empathy, and adaptability are at the heart of effective mentoring.”

To those who are wondering if tutoring is for them, Marco says, “Tutoring is a meaningful and rewarding experience. Tutoring Chicago offers excellent support, allowing you to make a positive impact on a student’s life both academically and personally. The influence a tutor has is so profound that it genuinely shapes students’ lives in ways we may not fully realize!”
