Making sense of difficult material not only makes for a challenge but also a sense of accomplishment. I take the approach that most material that is perceived as difficult is only viewed that way due to the way the material is presented. I tend to break concepts down using common language and parall...

Shannon

ACT Prep Tutor • +26 Subjects

I graduated from Elmhurst College (now Elmhurst University) in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a focus in Early Childhood (birth-3rd grade), letter of approval for special education and a minor in teaching English as a second language. Since then, I've spent the past two years working as a lead teacher in an early pre-k classroom, first as a lead in a ten 24-36 month olds at a private family-owned center and now as a co-lead in a classroom of ten 15-36 month olds at a local community center.I believe we should be lifelong learners and strive to foster that for myself by staying up to date with the latest trends in education. In my free time, I love to read (historical fiction, paranormal, and dystopians) and play boardgames or DnD with my friends.

Kevin

American Literature Tutor • +16 Subjects

I've spent the last 25 years in the pursuit of the exploration, comprehension and celebration of great works of literature, with special emphasis on English and American authors. Shakespeare, Shaw, Moliere, Oscar Wilde, Sheridan, Woodhouse, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Poe, Salinger, Eugene O'Neil, Tennessee Williams, Capote, Twain - the list goes on forever.As a student, interpreter, and performer of great dramatic works, I've appeared in classical theatre across the United States as well as Canada and the UK.I am a recipient of the Tyrone Guthrie Award from the Stratford Festival of Canada, I was named the 2019 inductee to the Illinois Shakespeare Festival Hall of Fame, I am a three-time Joseph Jefferson Award Nominee in my home town of Chicago.I have a Bachelors Degree (cum laude) from Drake University, and have have continued studies at Connecticut College and the Eugene O'Neil Theatre Center in Waterford. I was also a member of Stratford Festival's Classical Conservatory Company.My main approach to the study of these works of literature is to make them accessible. The works of Willam Shakespeare are still being studied after 400 years because they resonate with people. If I can open that door for my students, they can walk through it, and see a new wold.

Hello! I am Matthew Galvan and I recently graduated DePaul University with a Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Math and Computer Science and was a member of DePaul's Honors Program. In the fall, I will be a PhD student at UIC and teach there as part of my course of study. As a graduate student, I was a Teaching Assistant for an Intermediate College Algebra class, conducting one hour review sessions on material taught the prior week. I also have two years of tutoring experience during high school through the National Honor Society. During that time, I tutored students of all abilities in algebra and geometry. I am always willing to help students improve in their studies. I can tutor grade school to college-level students. I am patient and willing to work with students at their own pace. My main goal is to have you succeed in your studies! I am knowledgeable in various math subjects, whether it be basic algebra and geometry, or more difficult classes such as calculus and discrete math. I believe I can help students achieve higher scores and better grades. I welcome anyone who is in need of assistance to contact me.

Jeremy

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

Recently returning from an incredible year living and working in Madrid, Spain, I'm looking to continue teaching Spanish and English to those who are motivated to learn. I began providing trumpet lessons at a young age, and then continued teaching privately in university in Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel. I have the skills and experience to teach Algebra, as well. I enjoy incorporating fun games and activities into my academic lessons, aiming to shine a different and more exciting light on learning for my students.I am upbeat and energetic people-pleaser, always looking for the next opportunity to meet people and learn new skills. Surrounding myself with inspiring and intelligent people is how I aim to live, and I have been fortunate enough to meet incredible people from all over the world, through my travels. I am an avid cyclist and runner, hoping to complete my first triathlon in the Summer of 2016, and highly value strong relationships with my friends and family.
