About Lily

Hi! I'm Lily - a warm and encouraging tutor based in Chicago. I'm bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English, and I offer support in Chinese language, math (elementary through early high school), and humanities subjects like history and writing. I have a degree in History and East Asian Studies, and I currently work in community development. I've lived in both China and the U. S., and love helping students make meaningful connections across subjects and cultures. I specialize in making learning feel personal, creative, and confidence-building - whether through Chinese storytelling, visual math strategies, or crafting thoughtful essays. I've worked with kids of all ages and learning styles, and I'm passionate about helping students not just keep up, but truly enjoy learning. If you're looking for a patient, culturally grounded tutor who brings heart and structure to every session - I'd love to connect!
