...I have also twice co-taught an intensive one-month long German 101 course, where I designed the lesson plans, and graded homework, quizzes and tests.

...I have had students ranging from sophomores in high school to adults transitioning into a new career. My Engineering curriculum at Northwestern was heavily centered around Math, Chemistry, Biology and Physics, so I can work with a student on more than one class at a time. I also have a lot of experience with test...

...Chemistry. I am a very logical and rational person, and I believe that is reflected in how I teach my students. I do my best to have students understand concepts rather than just memorizing them, which will help problems become much easier in the long run. I try not to force students into doing something...

...quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.

Also, reminding them of the goals that they are working toward is important.

...I enjoy teaching when I became preceptor for Anatomy in undergrad. I find it to be incredibly rewarding. As I am continuing my education, tutoring is an enjoyable way for me to give back to the academic community and help other students achieve their goals!

...my fields of study; I also enjoy Writing, History, and French (among other subjects).

I graduated from Hinsdale Central High School in 2012, and there I was a member of the National Honors Society which was my first experience with tutoring. I am currently a volunteer at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital, and I help...

...everyone learns differently. So it makes sense that a one size fits all approach to teaching is problematic. People can fall behind or may not preform to their full potential if they do not have access to individual attention, and programs tailored to their needs and talents. That is the service that I aim to...

...learning. While memorization is important for certain things, I always appreciated understanding the "why" and "how" in school and I try to help my students achieve that level of understanding as well. I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for their classes in the future, though I...

I'm a recent grad from Northwestern (B.A. in Theatre and Economics) who loves teaching and learning. I love helping other people achieve their goals and helping students find ways to be their best selves. Excited to meet and work with Chicagoland's students!...
