...School System in Elmhurst, IL and graduate from The University of Wisconsin in Madison, I understand the gap that can form between teachers and students first hand. Combining a relational teaching style, and a strong value of education, I believe that the unique needs of every student deserve consideration and that it is the role of the tutor to find the perfect way to teach. It is my personal wish that if a student has...

...and love tutoring in the humanities. My teaching philosophy is one of guidance rather than direct instruction, helping students to discover answers on their own. I am very patient and understand that sometimes all it takes to understand a difficult concept is to explain it in a few different ways. We all learn differently, so I aim to develop an individualized approach for each student in order to make the most of our time together....

...graduate school as a PhD Student in Condensed Matter Physics. I am currently working at an experimental physics lab at the University of Maryland, College Park. My tutoring style is pretty relaxed. In my experience, if someone knows what question to ask then they are already pretty close to the answer; they just need a push in the right direction. I like to help people talk through the problems. My job is to steer you...

...feels comfortable with whatever problem they have to tackle. In every subject, there are generally multiple ways to solve problems, and I like to challenge the student to know each way to fully understand and master the concept. That way, the student is as prepared as he/she can be, and has a set of options to approach a problem. I am a firm believer that students can learn and master any subject with enough practice...

...teachers, I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with others and helping them reach their goals in education. I believe teaching is an art form, and I am always working to improve every aspect of my teaching style; I've found success by carefully listening to each student's questions to gain an understanding of which methods will work best for that particular student. In addition, having worked for six years as a mechanical engineer before pursuing my...

...School in 2012, and there I was a member of the National Honors Society which was my first experience with tutoring.

...Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach...

...understand. So, in order to be a successful student and future physician, I developed some great learning tactics that I want to pass on to you! The Game Plan: Since every student is different, I will spend some time getting to know you and your goals so that we can work effectively together. Think of me as your study buddy instead of your tutor! I study with my peers by talking through material while incorporating...

I'm a recent grad from Northwestern (B.A. in Theatre and Economics) who loves teaching and learning. I love helping other people achieve their goals and helping students find ways to be their best selves. Excited to meet and work with Chicagoland's students!... First sessions always start with discussion of a subject's foundations. If we nail these, the rest of the learning becomes ten times easier.... I'm big on listening. It's my job to hear what a...

Additionally, I am proficient in undergraduate general and cognitive psychology. Currently, I am available to tutor college students in select biology and psychology courses. Additionally,...

...how almost every topic within math is utilized by that student. Once I motivate that student to want to learn more about the subject matter, it is a matter of time before my student masters that topic and want to learn about another topic. It is a great confidence booster and a lesson for life. The student believes that if they can conquer the most difficult subject, then can master anything in life.... As a teacher,...

...Feinberg School of Medicine in the fall. Throughout high school and college, I have fallen in love with tutoring and seeing so many new faces in the process.

...- in a sense - through a customer service job at a big cell-phone company. I taught 5th grade in Chicago Public Schools, worked as a substitute teacher in CPS, and finally moved into a middle-school science and reading position in the northwest suburbs, where I recently began my 10th year as a classroom teacher.

I have one sibling, an older sister, who is...

...tutoring again. I've always enjoyed learning, and in the past few years I have enjoyed growing as a teacher and leader. I particularly enjoy "the game" of standardized tests, so I gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students. I have an avid curiosity; I told my college playwriting professor that I wish I could experience everything there...

...and I'm an Aerospace Engineer. I graduated in 2015 from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. While I was there I also received a math minor, which helps me understand math at a more basic level. In high school I worked as a tutor and enjoyed helping those students. I loved the subjects I studied in college and my hope is to share my knowledge of math and physics with those who need extra...
