Meet a Champaign Tutor: Callie S.

Callie S. grew up in Champaign-Urbana, and from an early age, she dreamed of becoming a teacher like her mother and grandmother. Callie completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois, where she majored in education and minored in English. She then attended Johns Hopkins University, where she obtained a master's degree in teaching. She also spent several semesters during her graduate program working in the university learning center, helping students master concepts that came easily to her. Callie later accepted a position in the Illinois public school system, teaching English, history, and composition to high school students. While Callie received many well-deserved promotions, she found herself assuming more managerial duties and missed working directly with students.

Callie joined the team at Manhattan Review a few years later as a professional instructor, and her students love her first-hand teaching experience. They also appreciate her thoughtful explanations and positive attitude, ensuring her courses fill up quickly. When she isn't helping students obtain their own impressive standardized test scores, Callie can be found riding horses and going to the movies with friends.
