A Note From Our Founder:

Welcome to WordByWord Tutoring! I began this project in 2025 to build a strong community of passionate learners.

 

My passion for education is deeply rooted in fostering intellectual growth and instilling confidence in every student I work with. I am a recent honors graduate from the University of Chicago, and I bring that same dedication and curiosity to every tutoring session.

​

Outside the classroom, I love reading and listening to music—hobbies that not only enrich my life but also influence the way I connect with others and approach learning.

​

With over two years of tutoring experience, I have worked with a diverse range of students, from middle school learners to legal professionals. I specialize in grammar, writing, proofreading, comprehension, spelling, and pronunciation, and have successfully guided over 250 students in achieving their academic goals.

​

My teaching style is personalized and intentional. I adapt lessons to each student’s needs and preferences, creating a comfortable, supportive, and engaging learning environment.

​

Ready to embark on a journey of learning and discovery? Book your first lesson today and unlock not only a supportive space for learning but also the confidence to excel in your educational endeavors.

​

Warmly, 

Arlan
