Test Prep Philosophy:Doing well on standardized tests often comes down to a matter of preparation. But standardized tests generally seek to test students' problem solving abilities rather than their aptitude for memorization or a particular subject. So how can you prepare for a test made up of unkno...

Eric

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

As a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I want to apply my STEM background to help students of all backgrounds succeed in the sciences. At UIC, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Sciences majoring in Neuroscience (summa cum laude), and am attending the UIC College of Medicine in the Fall. I am most passionate in biology and chemistry, but I tutor a broad range of subjects. I believe that tutoring should place a strong emphasis on the student's needs and I am a firm believer in making sure students leave no gaps in their understanding of a topic. In my free time, I like to make my own music and read philosophy books.

Stephany

American Literature Tutor • +54 Subjects

I will soon be a graduate from Northeastern Illinois University with my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Linguistics. I was granted the opportunity to teach English abroad in Granada, Spain with Pre-K to 12th grade students in the academy of Santo Tomas de Villanueva-Agustinos Granada.We all have our academic struggles, however, perseverance will lead you into conquering those obstacles. It's important to acknowledge we all have different cognitive levels of comprehension and with a little support from your Varsity Tutors, we both can engage in bidirectional learning where I learn as much as you do.With my special interest in the subjects of English (Language/ESL/lexical content, grammar content) Reading Comprehension, Phonics, Essay Conducting, and Spanish fluency (speaking, writing, reading & grammar content) experience, and your enthusiasm to strengthen your education we both can successfully enhance our knowledge into a significant perspective.In my spare time, I enjoy dancing to Latin rhythms, traveling the world, learning new languages and enlightening others of my beautiful and authentic Latin culture!Juntos, si se puede!

Ellen

Art Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a graduate of Northeastern Illinois University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with Middle School endorsement in three areas. Plus, I am a certified art teacher. Since graduation, I have worked in all realms of education including teaching and tutoring with students of multiple ages and ability levels. While I tutor a broad range of subjects such as elementary reading and math, I am most passionate about art. In my experience, motivating students with positivity and using scaffolded support (building on what they know and beyond) makes for success. I am a firm proponent of lifelong learning and differentiation in regards to meeting needs of specific learners. I am a reliable and steadfast educator who is dedicated to teaching concepts to bring out your student's full learning potential!

Olivia

Elementary School English Tutor • +8 Subjects

"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today" -Malcom XI graduated from Lewis-Clark State College in May of 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a minor in Technological Learning. Currently I am a certified teacher in Idaho and Illinois. I have been a 4th Grade and 2nd Grade teacher where my focus was on my student's success and building individual connections with each student to help me better understand how and why they learn. During my time as an educator, I have increased students reading scores in fluency and comprehension by 38% - 76%. Teaching is an artform that gives me the opportunity to facilitate student discovery, challenge their way of thinking, and foster a love of lifelong learning. While I am willing and eager to tutor a wide range of subjects (math, science, social studies) my passion lies in reading and writing! Developing, building, and maintaining the lifelong skills needed to be an effective reader and writer is critical in furthering a student's education. I am a strong believer that learning occurs when connections are made, and students have fun I am devoted to working with my students to give the them the support they need while leaving them with lasting connections that they can build upon.

Sarah

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

I completed considerable course work in Elementary and Arts Education, and did my student teaching and artist residencies at several elementary schools in Chicago. During my student teaching I worked mainly with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders teaching all subjects but mainly focusing on writing. I am comfortable instructing large groups of students as well as working one on one. The majority of my one-on-one tutoring experience is in reading, math, and general help with homework completion for all subjects. I love working on projects, helping with homework, and having fun! I am great at catering to each child's educational needs and making sure that my students retain and understand the information we learn. I am comfortable working with children of all ages I have experience working with children with Asperger Syndrome, ADD, and ADHD. I graduated top of my class in May 2013 from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts with multiple honors for my achievements in studio art. I am a recipient of several merit scholarships and fellowship awards for academic and artistic achievement. When I'm not teaching, I love running, reading, making art and cooking!

Nicolette

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm a recent grad from Rice University in bioengineering with a love for science and language. I have a very wide range of academic passions, as an engineer-focused researcher who almost majored in English. I have lived in Spain for 4 months and am currently living in Costa Rica working on a 3D printed artificial leg. Through many years of classes and living abroad, my Spanish grammar is on par with, if not better than, my English grammar. I have tutored kindergarteners to grad students and everywhere between in a wide variety of subjects, including ACT test prep, and I believe that everyone is capable of learning with the right amount of patience, motivation, and strategy. In my free time I like to play sports, play board games, bake, and just adventure around.
