Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Evanston, IL

I am a freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder majoring in astrophysics and chemistry with a 4.00 GPA. I have been passionate about science and STEM topics my whole life, focusing on them in both high school and college classes. In my free time, you can usually find me exploring forest preserves by day and surveying the skies with my telescope by night.

I am a Science/STEM Educator who has gained experience teaching in urban secondary charter schools. It is my goal to design engaging curricula and educational experiences that encourage rigor, a love for learning, and a quest for innovation. A recent client earned a perfect score on the HSPT and others have seen growth both in their knowledge of Math & Science skills as well as their grades in those content areas.

...creatively to others. I also taught myself to take the ACT and have a strong understanding of how to strengthen those test-taking skills. I have worked with young children as a dance teacher for the past three years, and I tutored peers in my high school last year. I love problem-solving with students to present information in a way with which they can work! I feel like we are on a team, finding a way...

...as all humans are naturally curious. I like to awaken and facilitate this curiosity to help my students learn on their own. This, I believe, is the most efficient way of teaching. My curiosity drives me towards a variety of subjects. I research, write, and teach Art History, History, and photography. I am also coming from a science background, where I dedicated my college years to physics and mathematics. These two are my long-term passions,...

...I'm the Special Projects Director of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Our committee in ASME is responsible for designing and building our RSO's homecoming float and for making interactive builds for UIUC's Grainger College of Engineering annual Engineering Open House. I'm also a member of the Illini Formula Electric Car team. My favorite hobbies and interests include playing football, playing the drums, learning more about STEM, and hanging out with my friends.

...styles to meet these needs. As someone who feels very strongly about our current education system, I've become strongly motivated to change the status quo by reaching as many students as I can through tutoring/teaching. As an aspiring physicist, mathematician, or maybe both, I wish to make these subjects fun and interesting like how I perceive them to be, instead of a grueling discipline that students have the get through. Outside of academia, I also...

...as I've found the most enjoyment in learning both of these subjects. My teaching philosophy is centered around mastery of a subject. To me, mastery in a subject means that the student can teach their peers the same subject with the same level of understanding that they have. If my student is able to do this, they have achieved mastery in my eyes. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the saxophone, hanging out with...

...all sections of standardized tests. I developed a passion for helping students achieve their academic goals after tutoring students in my mother's fifth grade classroom. This experience has also led me to tutor high school and college students. Therefore, I enjoy tutoring students of all ages and abilities. In my opinion, problem solving is a learned skill that is widely applicable in many areas of life. My tutoring philosophy is to develop students into better...

...students ranging in ages from middle school to collegiate freshman. I am endorsed in middle school math and physical science. I also carry an algebra endorsement. Math courses I have taught include Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Linear Algebra, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. Science courses I have taught include Earth and Space Science, Life Science, and Physical Science. I have served as both a Math and Science Department chair, and a Science Instructional Coach. I am also...

...which to draw upon. My Masters thesis included a significant amount of physics knowledge, and all of these topics require a great deal of math as well. I specialize in the STEM fields- science, technology, engineering, and math. My time teaching high school also included one-on-one experience with students who have special education needs, and I have found that communication with parents is essential. It is my hope that I can continue to help others...

...and multi body dynamic analysis for developing optimized designs from concept to final product. I like to use advanced engineering analysis tools. My career history includes about 2 years at Accuride Corporation as Product Engineer/FEA and 3 years at MSC Software as a Senior Application Engineer and also I was a contractor/consultant at EMD, CNH and Hendrickson where I specialized in design analysis. Earlier in my career I was CAE Group Leader directing a team...

...had some expeirience in since I tutored throughout highschool. I also have 5 younger siblings who I help with their school. I primarly enjoy tutoring in any math or science subject since I am an engineer, I am very well versed in these materials and that I can tutor these materials at any level. When I tutor I feel like it is important to see how a student learns and adjusting my style to help...

...Grainger School of Engineering. I am working to receive my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering along with a minor in computer engineering. I not only tutor but am passionate in physics and mathematics as they are both the keys to clearly understanding how our world works. I understand every student has many different and optimal ways to learn so I tutor in a way that meshes well with each individual's personality.

...world. Mastering content gives us a cognitive framework through which we can process and understand new information from the world around us. Knowledge is critical for one's own success in the world as well as a requisite for a well functioning democracy. If you do not have a fully formed internal logos, you are at the whim of others determinative narratives and little more than a passenger on your ship through life. My goal is...

...basic of life's lessons: success and failure. I think the students should know that it is OK to fail, because at least you have tried and have taken a risk. What did you learn from it? How can I improve my methods to turn my next try into a win? I want to help develop their analytical side. My sales background has provided me with the opportunity where I did not always make the sale....

...engineering because of my passion for medicine and problem solving. The summer after, I was chosen in a biomedical engineering research position where I wanted to learn more about the applications of biomedical engineering. A group of six students and me created the first working program that locates a tumor in the body. I also worked as a conference assistant because I wanted to improve my communication and leadership skills as I was able to...

...to Queens University after high school graduation; there I was offered a position as a physics and organic chemistry tutor my junior and senior year. I've always taken pride in helping students, and hold to the belief that anything worth doing is worth doing well; even when the job is tutoring. One Saturday I was stuck in the library for 8 hours with a tutee going over concepts in physics. Of course after our long...

...it be AP physics or BC calc. Or it can be something as simple as introducing algebra or geometry. My only goal is to help you, as a learner, succeed in whatever goals you set your mind to. My enthusiasm for physics and mathematics not only drives me to share knowledge but also inspires my students to find joy in learning. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the intricacies of engineering and staying active through...

...incoming first year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. My undergraduate degree was in Statistics as a part of a BS/MD program. My academic interests are in Biology and Mathematics, and I particularly enjoy students who care about understanding the "Why" and "How" behind interesting phenomena. To me, learning is most fun when its both social and introspective. And in that spirit, I hope to help share the excitement in seeking...
