Experienced tutor in Special needs - add in Chicago, Jaclyn offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Jaclyn is a great person. You can tell she really cares about her students and takes proactive steps to communicate as needed with parents outside the sessions with the student. I trust her insights and approach to individual instruction needs. We used her service for test prep (HS selective enrollment in Chicago) and will sign up for help with college admissions in the future.

The COVID lockdowns of our public schools, spanning two academic school years, severely impacted our son. He lost interest in everything except video games. His sense of apathy turned into a strong trait of "learned helplessness". Disciplinary incidents were always someone else's fault. Every adversity was another reason to give up.

Ms. DiDomenico agreed to take on a very tough case with our son. She patiently introduced him to the principles of the Growth Mindset. She made subtle and consistent suggestions to introduce him to the concept of personal accountability.

Working with Ms. DiDomenico, his grades steadily improved. More importantly, he developed his own goals. We were beyond surprised (shocked, actually) when he announced that he had identified a new school, applied, and went through multiple rounds of interviews on his own!

He is now studying abroad on a full scholarship.

Jackie is an amazing person. She has worked with my children for years and has helped them tremendously. She has a way of connecting with them and helping them understand their materials that is exceptional. As a result of their working with Jackie both my children are now straight A students.

Jackie has been great to work with over the last 3 years. She tailors her sessions to meet Delia's needs and is always prepared. She is able to change session times to best meet test schedules, which is super helpful.

We love working with Level Up Learning...and particularly with Jackie! We have been with Jackie for years and we have seen such growth with our son's learning, education and test taking. His math skills have improved dramatically - it is like night and day. Jackie is patient, hard-working and always available to collaborate on the best approach for the child. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

I have two daughters with very different learning profiles -- one is autistic and the other is neurotypical -- and each benefitted tremendously from working with Jackie. Her teaching skills are truly exceptional. She has a knack for connecting with kids and making the learning process fun and engaging. (One of my daughters once said, "I think Miss Jackie has some kind of magic. She makes you WANT to work hard!") My kids worked with her in math and language arts, and both in-person and remotely -- we had a uniformly terrific experience. Jackie would be the first person I called if I needed a tutor!

Out daughter has been working with Jackie for several years now and we’ve even started weekly sessions with our son. Can’t say enough good things about Jackie!

My 13 year-old daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions and has gained so much confidence in math. I can’t say enough wonderful things and highly recommend Level Up!
