Hello, my name is Stephen Tan.  I was homeschooled in my hometown of Waukegan, Illinois along with my five siblings.  When I finished high school, I went to the University of Mary.  After graduating, I decided to pursue a career in education and have been teaching/tutoring for the last two years.  As most of my experience teaching/tutoring has been one-on-one, I wanted to see what teaching in a classroom would look like.  I received an invitation to look into the Montessori school at St. Joe's and was impressed by what I saw.  When I am not working, you can expect to find me at church, in the library or doing something with sports.
