Jing

AP Chinese Language and Culture Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame (ND), where I received my Bachelor of Science in Science Pre-Professional Studies (pre-medicine) and a minor in Anthropology. During my time at ND, I tutored Freshman ND students in organic and inorganic chemistry for two and a half years. Some of my other extracurricular activities included founding the World Health Assimilation Through Notre Dame (WHAT ND) club, participating in rare and neglected diseases research, and volunteering in my local communities. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science (chemistry and biology), math (K-college), and Chinese. I believe that a solid education is an important foundation for an individual's future and the future of humanity. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, cooking, playing a wide variety of sports (i.e. Zumba, tennis, swimming), and reading.

Rohan

ACT English Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am currently an undergraduate student who is part of the Honors College at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Science Degree in Neuroscience with a Minor in Music. I am available to tutor students in a large variety of subjects , but I especially enjoy serving as a tutor for mathematics or science-related disciplines. In the past, I have had 2-3 years of experience (online and in-person) tutoring numerous high school students in disciplines as Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. Even when not formally serving as a tutor, I have always felt inclined to provide other students with advice concerning time management skills and studying tips to ensure their prospective academic success.I also enjoy to serve as a test-prep tutor, particular for the ACT and various AP tests. I believe these tests have large implications upon determining one's aptitude for success in college, and, thus, I believe that their importance should not be undermined. Personally, I have also participated as a student in ACT-prep classes to become better educated on useful test-taking strategies and tips. Relatedly, I am also willing to provide advice to younger high school or middle school students regarding how to adapt to college academics, or, in more general terms, college life.As a tutor, I believe it is most vital to be persistent and patient when helping other students. I strive to employ a more independent-tutoring approach, in which I attempt to help a student as sparingly as possible as to allow a student to arrive at a solution mostly on his/her terms. For me, learning and problem-solving require individual insight and reasoning, and, thus, my job as a tutor will encompass helping a student comprehend basic/underlying conceptual principles so that the student can arrive at an answer as independently as possible. Additionally, as a tutor, I will impart knowledge stressing the importance of time management and balancing skills on academic prosperity, and, also, I will attempt to make learning more enjoyable by connecting what a student is being taught to real-world applications.In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing baseball and tennis, singing, playing the Alto Saxophone, playing the Guitar, and going to the movies.

Michael

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am currently an adjunct professor of chemistry at a small liberal arts college in the Chicago area. Previously, I worked in the chemical industry for several years as a researcher, but I've found that the most satisfying moments have come when I am able to share my expertise with someone else. Similarly, I very much enjoyed the four semesters in the graduate school when I was a teaching assistant. It gave me the opportunity to work with students and help them develop an understanding for the subject. These are the primary reasons that I have decided to go into teaching.I have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Georgia Tech and dual BS degrees in chemical engineering and biochemistry from UW-Madison.

There are many ways to learn a subject, and its the tutors job to provide the student with the best opportunities to learn.

Dhruvi

Admissions Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a graduate from University of Illinois at Chicago. I recently received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry. Throughout my undergraduate years, I have extensively taken an active role in a broad range of research projects including public health and biochemistry. Given my background, I am passionate about science and public health. In my experience helping students struggling with science courses, I have learned that a lot of times constructing the basics about a given topic makes it easier to learn complex topics. Everyone has a different learning technique, and I am here to help.

Justin

ACT Math Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am currently pursuing a degree in Human Biology on a pre-dental path at the University of Toronto. Starting in high school, I began teaching when I became a swim instructor during sophomore year and discovered that I love teaching students. I enjoy seeing my students improve and achieve new goals as I work with them. Moving away from the swimming environment, I started to tutor students for math and science. I quickly realized that I enjoyed teaching in this environment as well, particularly because I enjoy math and science and their relevance to my everyday life. This projected my teaching philosophy by giving students connections to their studies. I believe these connections are the best way to improve your attitude towards learning and understanding of any subject area.In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, playing basketball, and producing music.

Jaladhija

Algebra Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at Saint Louis University majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Computer Science, and have been accepted into medical school. As a tutor with Learning Lodge for the past two years, I have worked with children from families adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; I have worked as a Teaching Assistant at Best Brains Learning Center, an enrichment program designed to help children aged 3 and above develop academically. While I tutor various subjects, I am especially passionate in teaching students Math, Science, English, and Writing; these have been extremely exciting subjects to teach the future generations eager to learn more. After spending several years tutoring children and taking courses such as Developmental Child Psychology and learning the most effective ways to curate a teaching curriculum targeted toward ensuring children retain knowledge and have fun, I have an increased interest in one day becoming a Pediatric Neurologist or Adolescent & Child Psychiatrist! As an advocate for education rights and expanding progress in the community and worldwide, I am committed to helping struggling students obtain the necessary resources for a bright future filled with passionate learning and sharing my joy.
