About Me
I have been tutoring students in the Chicagoland area and remotely since 2012. For undergraduate school, I double majored in Mathematics and Economics at the University of Rochester, where I also studied Jazz guitar at Eastman School of Music. I have a Masters degree from University of Chicago in Behavioral Economics. In my experience as a tutor, I have helped students achieve large score growth, perfect scores, and helped them develop better study habits.
I tutor all sections of the SAT and ACT, high school and college level Math and Economics, and high school Physics.
I do not tutor other subjects, but have a network of tutors I would happily refer.
My tutoring rate is $150/hr.

We hired Joe Monahan when our son was in high school, during the years he was preparing for the college entrance exams. Our case was challenging when we hired Joe. As smart and tenacious as our son was, he was born with neurological deficits that included dysgraphia, apraxia and extremely slow processing speed. While this may sound like a lot of jargon, I spent most of his formidable years working alongside our son as his coach and realizing the complexities of studying for college entrance exams and all that went along with his ability to not only learn but to also execute in a formal way posed, which an obstacle for me as he entered this critical chapter in his life. Ultimately, and with Joe’s constant patience and closely working alongside me our son went to Harvard and was even offered a merit scholarship. While the ultimate goal was met, I am realizing more just how much the process was even more successful than the result.
Joe Monahan is exceptionally bright and this comes through within minutes of first meeting him. Joe also loves learning and gets excited when he sees the fruits of his labor paying off. He is deeply devoted to his students, which you will realize when you first engage with him. I am forever grateful to Joe, as is my son and the rest of our family. I would wholeheartedly endorse working with Joe Monahan!
