Since you’re thinking about staying with me, let me introduce myself! My name is Dee and I’ve been living in the Chicago Area all my life. And I live quite a happy life. Here’s a bit more about me. --My Hobbies-- I love the outdoors and I love to exercise. So daily you’ll find me riding the beautiful bike path near my house all over the area. I am a teacher and educator. I founded my tutoring center - A Plus Master Tutoring Center-located in Oak Park 8 years ago. I am a certified homestay provider for Kaplan and Solex language schools located in Chicago. I love hosting, gardening, cycling and nature. I love to read and write. I also love to paint, sculpt, and I enjoy rehab and improving my structures. Our homestay is a short 10 minute walk (past the police station and library) to the forest park blue line station- which runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This is a fantastic upscale area that is close to everything!! One block from downtown Forest Park with many restaurants and shops. Just 5 blocks from the supermarket. 3/4 mile to downtown Oak Park and River Forest. I have always loved animals and really enjoy people of all ages. Sincerely, I do hosting because it enriches my life. When people come together from all over the US and the world, long lasting friendships form. Also Chicago is one of the most beautiful American cities, and I love showing people things about this city and it’s surrounding suburbs that they would not otherwise see. And because of this I really do my best to create a fun, and warm environment for every student that stays. My property has a large brick building and a small Coachhouse it's one parcel with two structures. The entire parcel is enclosed by a 6 foot fence for privacy and security --My Work-- Simply stated, I am an entrepreneur, and have been for 20+ years. During that time I have started and ran 4 businesses, including my current one, A+ master tutoring center. I am also an educator. I became interested in education over 7 years ago and became a teacher in American public schools until I decided to start my tutoring center. And I do love running my tutoring center because I have been able to help countless children learn essential skills that prepare them to take charge of their lives when they leave school....
