Jacob

Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am a current senior at the University of Chicago about to graduate with a BA, double majoring in Anthropology and Philosophy. My interests have always been pretty diverse, from both stem to the humanities, and I am comfortable teaching in a variety of different subjects.Tutoring has long been an important part of my life and I take a lot of joy in being able to teach others. I started on a volunteer basis during high school, where I taught middle school Math and English, and I have continued tutoring middle and high school students while in college. I definitely have the most experience teaching Math, and I think I have seen the most immediate improvements while teaching Math. However, I particularly take joy in teaching English, especially critical reading, as many students are surprised by how much they can improve in the long-term.Thank you for reading through my personal statement and I look forward to teaching you or your student soon!

Nathan

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +47 Subjects

I volunteered to teach an ESL class in Israel in 1995. I have assisted in an Iowa after school tutoring program for three years. I enjoyed substitute teaching in Iowa school systems, then became a social worker for families facing challenges for two years.I was born and raised in Chicago then moved to the suburbs. I grew up playing hockey and participated in many sports in high school. I enjoy creating art and appreciating the art others create. I believe that whether someone cooks, fixes cars, listens to their friends, hangs out or any of the other billions of activities, they are expressing themselves-and that is art.When I teach-I ask questions because I be people are capable of discovering the answers. No two people learn the same way. Some people need to see it, some need to hear it, some need to just dive in and explore, some need to move around; most are some of each. I want people to do well. The first session will always contain a fair amount of getting acquainted and I promise to do my share of listening.

Thomas

ACT Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics. Next fall, I will begin pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Math and Physics make up the inner core of my expertise. However, I know what it takes to achieve high scores in 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 problem solvers while assisting them in particular courses or standardized tests. My hope is that by developing these fundamental problem solving skills they will eventually no longer need my help in future courses or standardized tests since they will have the necessary tools to succeed on their own.

Dan

Algebra Tutor • +4 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Purdue University where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Math Education. During my time at Purdue, I had the opportunity to teach a college level Precalculus class, as well as Algebra I regular and Honors, and Financial Algebra during my student teaching experience at a Chicago High School. During my student teaching, I often tutored students during my lunch hour who needed some extra help outside of the classroom. My favorite subject to tutor in is math, and I specifically enjoy tutoring Algebra I and Algebra II, Geometry and Calculus. My favorite part of math (and the way I learned it best) was when I could relate a problem to a real world situation, so you can expect us to make some really cool connections together! I also like exploring the ???why??? of a problem, this way, we can really break it down and figure out what???s going on. I aim to not only help you solve the problems we are currently working on, but to give you the tools you need to show any and all future problems who???s boss! Outside of the classroom, I enjoy making electronic music and living an active lifestyle through lifting weights and biking.
