My desire to become a tutor began after a tutor of mine personally changed by life. The general perception people have of tutors is that they are just intelligent individuals with expertise in certain areas who lecture those who do not fully understand yet. In my case, my tutor helped shape the way ...

Dil

ACT Prep Tutor • +34 Subjects

One of the greatest joys that I find in learning is when I have the opportunity to share knowledge and enrich someone else's life. I have been tutoring for close to 6 years now, and I have been fortunate to have tutored in various age groups from elementary students and fellow colleagues. Although I am the tutor, I have as much to learn from you as you have to from me. So let's do it! Let us learn and grow together!Of note, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Science degree in Bachelor of Science in Molecular-Cellular Biology and Chemistry. I am very passionate about science and mathematics. Up to date, I have taken almost every level of mathematics from Pre-Algebra to Differential Equations, and I have a plethora of science courses in Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics.

Ahsan

Accounting Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a second year student majoring in Business Administration and Mastering in Finance. I have always been an excellent academic performer as evidenced by my 3.93 GPA. Throughout the years I have tutored classmates and siblings and last semester I got the opportunity to become the Teacher Assistant of Financial Accounting and Economic Analysis of Capital Investments. As a TA, I tutored students on cash flow statements, financial statements, journal entries, annuities, bonds, mortgages, and more. I explained to students where numbers were coming from and helped them logically understand accounting concepts. I am continuing as a TA and also continue tutoring classmates and siblings in Math, Business, Finance, Accounting and Economics. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies and playing baseball.

Joe

ACT Math Tutor • +49 Subjects

I have always enjoyed mathematics. I know well that this is not the case for everyone, even for most people. I like helping students overcome the difficulties and frustrations that they encounter. Having been a math teacher myself, I actually have some disagreements with the way that math is typically taught. I think the fact that so many students get turned off of math should be an indication that maybe something needs to change in the way that we teach it.In addition to math, I like reading, listening to music, and am also a big Cub fan. I even worked for the Cubs from 1988 through 1991, where I was an usher and later a crowd management officer. For a couple of games, I was even stationed on the field as the "loose ball retriever." Today I continue to listen to Cub games, at least some innings of as many as 150 games or so. I'm a big fan of Pat Hughes, their "play-by-play" announcer. I actually prefer to listen to him then watch the games on TV.For my education, I attended Deerfield High School in the 1980's. I then attended Loyola University Chicago, where I attained a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science, an MS in Computer Science, and a Secondary (high school) teaching certificate. While at Loyola, I did a lot of tutoring for their tutoring center. Mostly as a result of this, some years later I became an adjunct professor there, and also at Northeastern Illinois University.I did my student teaching at Loyola Academy in Wilmette. Following that, I was hired by Loyola, where I taught math and computer programming for five years. While there, I also helped out with the ministry program, driving students to ministry activities and going on an immersion trip with students to Appalachia.An illness caused me to leave Loyola Academy, but awhile later, it was then that I was hired by Loyola University and Northeastern Illinois. I taught 2 classes per semester. I did this for about 2 years, and taught mostly intermediate and college algebra.Following my college teaching, another full-time position became available at another high school - Carmel Catholic in Mundelein. As with Loyola Academy, I taught math and computer programming for Carmel. I was really one of the first long-term computer programming teachers there, and taught both Introductory Programming and AP Programming.At some point, the classroom format began to change. There was a substantial increase in different kinds of technology incorporated into everyday teaching. Our department chairman utilized the concept of the "flipped classroom," where he would prepare Youtube videos of himself demonstrating lessons. Students would go home and watch his videos, then return to school the next day to do homework problems based on the video demonstrations. I wasn't comfortable teaching this way, and I felt that it was time to get out of the way and let the newer teachers, who were more comfortable with this, take over.I still enjoy helping students who struggle with math. I have been a math tutor, really since my high school days, but especially now since having left my full-time position. After many years, I think that I I am pretty knowledgeable about the kinds of difficulties students often encounter. For example, I am well aware of the struggles that geometry students (and others) typically encounter with mathematical proofs.I especially like tutoring, because I enjoy the 1-1 relationship with a student. I like helping people and encouraging them, motivating them to believe in themselves and develop their abilities. I enjoy working with them as they overcome their obstacles. Doing this makes me feel that I have something of real value to contribute, and that I am of genuine help to other people.

Echtar

Algebra Tutor • +5 Subjects

I am a graduate of Alfurat University in Syria. I received my Bachelor of science in mathematics. I taught all topics of mathematics and science in many schools in Syria for middle and high schools in addition to private students for test preparation. I taught mathematics in charity organizations in Canada in addition to ESL students, who were new to Canada. I used one-on-one and small group settings to assist them in understanding mathematics and pass their exams.I taught in all mathematics areas including but not limited to: Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and Analysis. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the calculus and geometry portions of the exams. And because mathematics is the base of all other sciences, I believe every person should have a strong knowledge of mathematics to be successful in his/her study, his/her business as well as his/her life.I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I like and do what Ray Bradbury said, do what I love and love what I do.In my free time, I enjoy reading books, watching movies and learn to cook new foods from other cultures.
