About
Welcome!
My name is Conrad, and I specialize in transforming students' academic and personal journeys through exceptional test scores. My story is one of discipline, determination, and a deep passion for education—a story I believe will resonate with parents eager to invest in their child's future success.
I was born and raised on the West side of Chicago, a part of town marked by crime and poverty. Despite these obstacles, my upbringing was enriched by the unwavering support of my mother, aunt, and grandmother—all strong Polish women who taught me the value of hard work and the transformative power of education. They instilled in me a drive to overcome adversity and to strive for excellence at all times and in every endeavor.
My academic journey led me through DePaul University, where I received my Undergraduate Degree in Communication Studies. I parlayed graduating Summa Cum Laude into a job at powerhouse local bank in Chicago, and I worked in Finance for the next three years. Feeling unfulfilled and burnt out, I returned to DePaul University, where I earned a Master of Arts in Writing, Rhetoric, & Discourse. After receiving my graduate degree, I began teaching Composition & Rhetoric I & II (First-year Writing I & II) at DePaul, discovering my passion for teaching, tutoring, and mentoring. My students' diverse backgrounds and unique challenges reminded me of my own experiences, reinforcing my belief that education is a powerful tool for change.

For the past eight years, I have dedicated myself to private test-prep tutoring, specializing in all major standardized tests. Growing up in a global city such as Chicago allows me to connect with students from various cultural backgrounds, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment in pursuit of excellent standardized test scores.
In Florida, high standardized test scores can unlock valuable scholarships, and I offer a unique guarantee: my students WILL qualify for some version of the state scholarship, Bright Futures (for the Language Arts section of each test), whether for high school or college. This guarantee is backed by my extensive experience and a proven track record of helping students achieve scores that exceed scholarship thresholds, with almost 100% of my students over the last three years scoring at or above the threshold for Bright Futures on both the ACT and SAT.
Beyond test prep, I offer a range of additional services, including assistance with writing ads, resumes, cover letters, papers, and more. My expertise in writing and rhetoric ensures that each piece of writing is crafted to perfection, helping students and professionals alike achieve their goals.
My commitment extends beyond tutoring. As a mentor, I aim to mold young people into disciplined, responsible, and moral adults. I provide guidance beyond academics, helping students develop the skills and mindset needed for lifelong success.
Investing in my services is an investment in your child's future. With my guidance, your child will excel academically, bypass the burden of a student loan, and grow into a confident, capable individual ready to take on any challenge.
Thank you for considering me as your partner in education! Let's work together to unlock your child's full potential and pave the way for their success!
