My Story

Hi there! I'm Judi Smith, and education has been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a proud mother of 5, I know firsthand the joys and challenges of raising children in today's world. Every parent wants their child to succeed, and I've made it my life's mission to help make that happen.

Since 2007, I've been serving families on Chicago's South Side through my licensed daycare center. What started as a way to provide quality care for working parents has grown into a comprehensive educational service that includes before and after-school programs, transportation through ABC Tots Taxi, and now professional tutoring services.

My dual background in technology and early childhood education gives me a unique perspective. I understand how children learn, and I know how to use modern tools to make learning engaging and effective. Whether your child needs help with math, reading, or building confidence, I combine proven teaching methods with personalized attention.

What sets me apart? I care about EVERY child as if they were my own. When you trust me with your child's education, you're not just getting a tutor — you're getting an experienced educator who genuinely wants to see your child thrive.

Approach

My Approach

I believe every child is capable of success when given the right support. My teaching philosophy is built on three pillars:

Personalized

No two children learn the same way. I take time to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and learning style before creating a customized plan.
Confidence

Academic success starts with believing in yourself. I celebrate every victory, no matter how small, and help children see their own progress.
