Award-Winning Tutors from DePaul University

Hello! My name is Haile and I am a current graduate student studying mental health counseling at Adler University. As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have worked as an Elementary School Teacher’s Assistant working with children from pre-school age through fifth grade. As a teacher's assistant, I gained valuable experience planning and organizing classroom activities as well as ensuring that older students received adequate tutoring and homework help. This position equipped me with the skills to think quickly on my feet and organize a group of students. My goal as a tutor is to empower a student's personal growth and knowledge in a particular subject. I aim to work with the student to meet their needs and promote academic achievement. I strive to set attainable goals with my student that we can measure together over time.

Hello, my name's Anthony. I'm currently an economics and mathematical sciences double major at DePaul University. I love math and like to make it simple and sweet! I also strive to make the best use of clients' time in ensuring effective teaching tactics and yielding positive test and or grade results!

I am a graduate from Southern Illinois University and DePaul university. From SIU I obtained a Bachelor in Arts for Math Education. From DePaul I obtained my Master in Arts for Math Education. I can tutor with all things math related and I have worked with many students from varying degrees of ability and from grades 3rd - College. While tutoring I do my best to make sure you fully understand the material given. I am a firm believer that everyone can do math you just need to learn how. In my spare time I like to read comics and books, do DIY projects around the house, watch TV shows or play video games.

I am a Computer Science Master's student at DePaul with a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Chicago.

I hail from the greater Chicago area, and I am a senior at DePaul University studying Computer Science and Game Development. While programming is exciting to me, one of my other passions is teaching the math and science subjects that accompany Computer Science. I learned very early on that it wasn't the material that was most essential to learning, but it is the proper learning environment that really pushes students to do their best. That is the goal of my tutoring sessions: to create an environment where it's great to ask questions, and perfectly okay to not quite get it at first.

Hello and nice to meet you, I am a multidisciplinary 2D animator, illustrator and performing artist with over 10 years of expereince in my studio practice. I hold a BFA in Aniamtion from DePaul Univeristy and specilaize in drawing, visual storytelling, illustration Digital 2D and traditional hand-drawn animaiton, communicating complex concepts. Learning to building a good drawing hand or how to bring your stories to life? I'm here to help :)

I teach Spanish at a local university, and have begun to offer tutoring services as well! I've lived in Spain, travelled to Latin America, and have 5 years of teaching experience, both in Spain and in the US.

I am a happy English Teacher. I learned to teach while serving in the Peace Corps in Poland. I have 15 years of teaching experience and 6 years of experience tutoring students of all ages. I am especially good at elementary school Language Arts and Math. I have a Ph.D. in Education from DePaul University in Chicago and love to work with all kinds of students from everywhere. My BA is from the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana, Phi Beta Kappa, and my MA is in Public Policy from the George Washington University in Washington DC. I have taught here in the US for many years and also overseas. I would love to meet you!My doctoral work is in Gifted Education, so if your student is particularly good in certain subjects I may be the teacher for you. I taught Gifted Enrichment at the high school level for 5 years and assisted in a curriculum redesign. I have also taught gifted elementary students. This is a passion of mine though I am happy to teach any student who needs to improve academically.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their drawing abilities by breaking down techniques into clear, approachable steps. With 3 years of experience being an instructional assistant, I supported students in small group settings. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to grow, experiment, and enjoy the creative process.

I am a friendly, punctual, and reliable instructor. I find teaching to be fulfilling and compelling work. I enjoy working with people, specifically assessing the needs of the student and assignment, while teaching the underlying skills needed to complete this type of work in the future. I am a professional homework helper.I write poetry and music professionally, so I am well equipped to teach the fundamentals of creativity and the joy of words. I also graduated with highest honors from DePaul University in 2005 with a degree in relational, group, and organizational theories of communication. During this time, I learned the grammar and mechanics of language, and the various methods necessary to write essays and research papers.Since then, I've been touring the world as a professional songwriter and musician. I have a passion for writing and listening to music, films, film editing, and writing and reading poetry. In 2014, I started tutoring students in essay writing and English for an online tutoring service. I have edited thousands of papers and taught students of all ages, from kindergarten to college level. I have gained the experience to be able to quickly and efficiently teach writing methods.

I have a Bachelors degree in history from DePaul University and am currently pursuing a Masters degree in data analytics. My blend of liberal arts with a computer science graduate degree has offered me the ability to understand technical subjects coincided with the ability to explain them with a strong verbal ability. I have experience coaching youth sports including ice hockey and flag football from ages 6-18. This has taught me valuable teaching skills that allow me to maximize my time with each student dependent upon their needs. I get great personal enjoyment spreading my interest in computer programming with young minds. In the ever increasingly automated economy, I'm confident that computer programming skills is one of the best antidotes to becoming an irrelevant participant in the workforce for the youth that will be adults in the 2030s, 2040s, and on. Being interested and staying up to date on current events in technology and computing allows me to stay on top of the programming trends and be able to differentiate between the up and coming technologies and skills versus the ones that are becoming complacent and replaced. I'm excited for the opportunity to help bring the knowledge and skills I've learned to youth in order to better equip them to become strong contributors when they reach adulthood. Let's get started!

I am a recent graduate of DePaul University with a BA in English Literature and a minor in Professional Writing. I am also currently working on my MA in English Literature, to be completed in 2021. I have worked as a tutor at my university's writing center for the last two years, collaborating with students on a variety of different written works. I find that helping students to develop their voices through writing is one of the most rewarding things in the world.

I received my MBA from Northwestern University. I also have a PhD in physical chemistry from Northern Illinois University. Since graduation, I have over 20 years experience performing research and development and business consulting on a wide range of nuclear waste management, nanomaterial, and nanomedicine fields. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about chemistry, physics, biology, and math. In my experience helping struggling students is a matter of time and mentoring before they dominating a topic. I am a strong believer in preparing students in the science, technology, and engineering fields. In my spare time, I enjoy reading journals and viewing historic documentaries, music, and basketball.

Hi! My name is Sasha! I am passionate about helping students feel more confident in math, reading, and writing by making difficult concepts easier to understand. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment!

My name is Julia and I am a graduate of DePaul University in Chicago, IL. I received my Bachelors in Elementary Education and Sociology in 2021. Throughout my schooling I had the pleasure of tutoring many different elementary students in all general subject areas. Since graduation, I have had the opportunity to teach in over ten different schools in the Chicagoland area. I have had lead teaching positions in three elementary classroom at two different schools, along with experience subbing in a plethora of other schools. I am most passionate about Math and Writing. It is my belief that everyone deserves the right to an equal and just education. I assure all of my students are taught with patience, kindness, and flexibility. In my spare time, I love to travel, explore the city, and do arts and crafts.

I am a humorist, so please don't take my stern photo too seriously!I love mathematics, logic, probability, machine learning, decision making, and non-empirical theories of everything... But that should not intimidate you! I have extensive experience teaching Undergraduates in a variety of subject areas (by the time you read this, I will probably be again teaching in person courses at a University concurrently).Before I get too deep into me... I expect to focus my efforts on general college level mathematics, probability/statistics/decision making (SOA/CAS P Exam qualified), computer science, and data science/machine learning/AI (not robotics other than decision making). If you are studying at a Freshman/Sophomore Undergraduate level or preparing for College, I can meet you at your level at anything I am listed as qualified for. Upperclassmen should ask and the answer will be yes in some areas and no in others! But ask!Personally, I have a BA in Computer Science (Honors) and an MSci in Computational Finance (Honors), areas in which I have published in Academic journals. This prepared me for most recently teaching College Engineering Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra) at a German University (I speak German and can teach in German or Spanish, but I am American and English is my first language). As indicated, I am suited to teach any of a variety of Computer Science related topics as well. (Ask!)I previously received a BA/MA in Philosophy, from prestigious programs, where I concentrated on Mathematical Logic and (what is now considered) Machine Learning. In these programs, I taught Logic, Probability, Inference, and English Composition. This time also infected me with a keen interest in theoretical foundations for Computer Science, Data Science, and Mathematics/Logic.Again, I encourage you to ask me whether I can help you with a topic. In general, I often can't meet a students needs when they are very technical-topic specific or otherwise very specialized mathematical areas... If you need a tutor for the Go programming language, you can probably find somebody, but I am not that person (I do everything I can in Python and its libraries, but know Java/C++/SQL and others, e.g. a bit of Prolog, R/SAS. I also web-scraped the World Factbook to build geo.atheoryof.us)... but just ask and I will help you find your way!

Learning can sometimes be a challenge. However, I believe that with a bit of creativity and a fresh approach any subject can present an engaging and satisfying opportunity for growth. I've been living in Detroit since I finished my masters program at DePaul University in Chicago in 2011. My tutoring experience started while I was in the Marines from 2001-2005; I frequently had to help some of the troops out with all kinds of topics, ranging from personal finance to hydraulics. After serving, I dedicated myself to helping returning veterans get situated with their GI Bill benefits and application essays. I respect those who seek knowledge and personal improvement and I believe that it is my responsibility to honor that by creating customized, learner-centered, multi-modal educational offerings for my students. I look forward eagerly to working with you.

I am a graduate student at Depaul University, studying pure mathematics. I have only recently moved to Chicago, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my short time here. I am originally from Detroit, Where I finished my bachelor's degree in secondary education at Wayne State University, majoring in math and minoring in physics. I have always been very interested in math, how logic-oriented it is and how it applies to almost everything in the real world. Aside from school I enjoy travelling, playing tennis, reading, and watching football on Sundays. I taught have been a teacher two years prior to this: one in middle school and one in high school. I had a great time as a teacher, and I see no reason why tutoring would be any different!

I firmly believe that with the proper direction, anyone can learn once they accept the fact that true knowledge can only be achieved by struggling and persevering through the challenges that are presented. I am a compassionate lifelong learner with years of experience in the areas of training and personnel development, who understands the significance of connecting life experiences to the acceptance of new information. I have a bachelor's degree in finance from DePaul University and over 14 years of management experience. Thus, my ability to identify problem area and help students to relate the subject matter to something that they already have an awareness of, is the skill that makes me a great tutor. I'm currently in the midst of a career change working toward a master's degree in secondary education, in the area of mathematics, so that I can actively join the fight to help educate today's youth. I have a passion for teaching math in a way that can be understood in laymen terms so that the beauty of the subject and its relevance to all facets of life can be appreciated. I have worked with high risk elementary students who were performing well below grade level and helped them to meet and/or exceed the required standards by year's end. My teaching philosophy utilizes the backward design method where we begin with the ideal result then we review all of the prerequisite knowledge, skills, and techniques that will be need to solve the problem. With this method the teacher serves as a facilitator who guides the student through the process of using the critical thinking necessary for understanding the desired result. Thus the focus if for the student to gain knowledge of what they are doing and why, not just the answer to a question. In addition to my love for teaching I have an affinity for athletics and a passion for photography, therefore I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that is required to fulfill a challenging goal as well as the beauty of capturing the moment of triumph. So if you need a tutor who can properly identify a problem area, communicate it in a manner that you can understand, relate it to something that you can identify with, then direct you through the process of obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for comprehending the solution, I'm your man.

Writing clearly and efficiently is the key to effective communication. My warm and compassionate approach to tutoring empowers writers to use their resources, work within genre conventions and work through their own ideas in order to write so other people can pick up what they are putting down. Through the development of an understanding context, audience, and purpose one can learn how to master the ability to write well.
