As an Orton Gillingham reading teacher, I am passionate about helping students who struggle with reading and writing. I believe that every child has the potential to learn and succeed, regardless of their challenges. My goal as a teacher is to unlock that potential and help my students become confident and independent readers and writers.My approach is grounded in the Orton Gillingham method, which is a structured, multisensory, and sequential approach to teaching reading and writing. I believe that this approach is highly effective because it is tailored to the individual needs of each student. I take the time to assess each student's strengths and challenges, and then create a personalized learning plan that is tailored to the unique needs of the student.

Hi! I'm an academic coach dedicated to helping students unlock their full academic and personal potential. My educational background combines strategic logic with motivational science; I hold dual Master's degrees in Business Administration (MBA) and Positive Psychology, and I am currently completing a Master's in Public Administration (MPA). For the past six years, I have specialized as an executive functioning coach, equipping students with the critical time-management, organization, and study systems they need to succeed independently. Alongside system-building, I am a specialized STEM subject matter coach, translating complex science and math concepts into clear, actionable lessons. Whether your student needs to master rigorous coursework, navigate the college application process, transition smoothly to higher education, or build lasting cognitive habits, I provide structured, encouraging, and highly effective mentorship. Let's work together to achieve their goals!

My goal as an educator is to promote a positive appreciation for education, especially the subject of mathematics.For the past ten years I have, in varying capacities, been involved with teaching or tutoring mathematics at the middle school to post-secondary levels. My goal for my students is for them to question why they are studying what they are so they can foster a deeper understanding of the material. To aid in this, I draw from my extensive knowledge of the subject of mathematics and expand upon what they are studying. This allows me to call on different approaches and methods to solve problems, and I believe allow my students to more completely grasp the concepts.

I am a graduate of Eastern Illinois University. I received my bachelor of Science in Education with a focus in Early Childhood Special Education (meaning I am certified to teach ages 0-21). Since graduating in 2019, I have worked at elementary and high schools. While I tutor all subjects I am most passionate about Math and English. Students with disabilities often struggle with these core subjects and it spills over into every other subject. I believe that with patience, care, and time all students can learn and grow.

All through my life, I've helped a lot of people learn and I continue to do so. I have been tutoring and helping my peers learn since when I was a senior in high school, as an AS/A Levels student, and as a college student. I served as a tutor, teaching assistant, and peer leader during my entire academic experience.I have led, taught, and coached different learners and students of different ages and educational levels to help them attain their various educational goals. I have tutored students in Public Speaking, ESL/ESOL, TOEFL, Writing, Communication Theories, Research Methods, Literature etc. I enjoy seeing learners and students I help achieve their educational and personal goals. I believe in teaching with patience and also in the saying that the "sky should be my stepping stone rather than my limit;" I take this philosophy with me everywhere I go even the classroom. In my experience, most students have distinct learning styles and identities so I strive to be innovative and adapt the subject to their individual learning style. It's very fulfilling when I see students I tutor, succeed or pass their exams. My teaching style and pedagogy is primarily learner centered.In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, listening to podcasts, writing, and reading. I also love politics. I'm looking forward to working with you to help you achieve your academic goals.

Hi, I'm Anthony! I'm a senior at Eastern Illinois University pursuing dual degrees in Physics and Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics, and I will begin a PhD in Chemistry at Baylor University in Fall 2026. My academic path has given me a strong foundation in problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communicating complex ideas clearly. I currently conduct photocatalysis research with Dr. Hongshan He, where I work on understanding chemical processes and materials at a fundamental level. Through this experience, I've learned how to break down difficult scientific concepts into logical stepssomething that translates directly into effective tutoring. I specialize in tutoring physics, chemistry, and mathematics, from foundational concepts to more advanced coursework. My goal is not just to help students get the right answer, but to help them understand the reasoning behind it so they can approach new problems with confidence. I believe the best learning happens when students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. As someone who has spent years studying challenging STEM subjects, I know that difficult topics often become manageable once they are explained the right way. I work patiently with students to identify where confusion starts and build a clear path forward. If you're looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about helping students succeed, I'd be happy to help!

I believe the best financial investment you can make is investing in yourself! My love of learning and sharing my wisdom shines through my positive energy-my students give me the greatest gratification when they are overcoming learning roadblocks-I tutor a broad range of subjects including Professional Certifications, Insurance License, NMLS, SIE, and Series 6.

I enjoy working with different types of students and helping them achieve their goals. I have my teaching certificate in Elementary Education from Benedictine University. I did my clinicals with 1st and 3rd graders in Reading and Math, and my student teaching in 2nd grade. I have also volunteered in a first grade classroom helping with Writing. While I have worked with 1st through 3rd graders, I like working with all elementary and middle school students. My favorite subject is Math but I also love Reading. Helping students in Math and Reading are my strong areas. I like to have fun with learning and help students relate the subject matter to real life situations for better retention. At home I love spending time with my family. A few things we like to do are go to sporting events, mini golf and traveling. I also love exercising, baking and reading a good book.

Growing up with both parents as teachers at the secondary and higher education levels, I have had a passion for academia from a very young age. I was most certainly the student who loved attending class, and I brought this passion with me throughout all of my collegiate and legal career. While concurrently in law school, I became involved in higher education at the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign where for two years I instructed my own classrooms of university students in courses on written and oral communication at a variety of skill levels.In addition to law and oral and written communications, I am passionate about foreign languages and traveling to new and exotic places. A polyglot, I speak English, French, German and Turkish and am educated from the Universite de Bourgogne in French language and culture. I continue to expand my own foreign language education and am preparing for my DALF exam, the highest level of French proficiency certification available to non-native speakers.I look forward to sharing my passions in the law, oral and written communication, and languages with my students to help them discovery their own potentials.

I love to have fun while tutoring! Whether it's a silly example or anoutrageous pneumonic device to remember a concept, I like to have agood time while we learn.

I had the distinct honor of representing the United States as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand, helping Thai teachers incorporate student-centered teaching approaches in English as a second language classes. I am very passionate about history, research, and writing. I recently had research published in Social Studies Research & Practice. In my free time I enjoy reading, exercising, playing basketball, practicing music, and playing board games with family and friends. I thoroughly enjoy being able to pass knowledge to others, helping anyone I can achieve success.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies from Eastern Illinois University. I graduated in 1994 and have endorsements in 6-12 Social Studies and History. I am currently considered to be a highly qualified teacher by the state of Arizona and also have an SEI (Structured English Immersion) K-12 endorsement. I have experience tutoring both junior high and high school students. Last summer I tutored seven junior high students in Reading and Writing for four hours a day during the month of June. I also currently tutor 35 high school students in Social Studies, English, Science, and Health using computer-based curriculum at an online high school. I also tutor a "5th Hour" class each day that focuses on English and Math prep for the Arizona state-mandated AIMS test that all high school students must pass to graduate. In this class we use word problems which students focus on breaking down grammatically to then solve them mathematically. The students also have an opportunity to create their own word problems each week and then "teach" the class how to solve the problem they've created. I have been an educator for over 18 years and enjoy helping students reach their academic goals and teaching them character education as well to give them the skills they need to be successful and highly productive adults. When I am not educating students I enjoy reading fiction novels (most notably from John Grisham, Stuart Woods, and Stephen King), playing sports such as golf, basketball, football, and tennis, and working out at the gym with friends. I also enjoy spending time with my wife of 11 years, our newborn daughter, and our Shitzu-Poodle.

I have also tutored, and continue to tutor, adults to help them improve their English studies and pass exams such as the OPIc exam. As a certified TESOL instructor, I find great joy in helping students improve their English. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching English as a language and improving language speaking and conversation skills. I am also skilled in teaching students how to study. Learning is a lifelong process. Everyone learns differently. Once a student's learning style is established, we work together to create a learning environment that is positive and leads to success. In my experience helping struggling students by teaching them study skills and different methods to learn a subject, I am providing a firm foundation for future educational success. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, reading, baking, and spending time with my family.

Throughout my college career, I focused on developing the speaking and writing skills necessary to communicate in Spanish. As an undergraduate student at Eastern Illinois University, I studied Spanish in the form of grammar, conversation, films and literature in order to improve my proficiency in the language and obtain my Spanish minor. In my final semester of college, I traveled to Salamanca, Spain to live with a host family for six weeks. I was able to use my Spanish in a real life setting and experience a fascinating new culture.I have taught Spanish with Futura Language Professionals and volunteered in Dane County, providing childcare for Hispanic children while their parents took English courses. I have worked as a Lead teacher in a Spanish Immersion Academy and worked in a bilingual immigration office, where I translated, interpreted, and discussed cases with native Spanish-speaking clients.Last summer, I took a trip to Peru, where I volunteered at a local orphanage for five weeks.By combining travel, studies, and work experience, I have been able to reach a proficiency in Spanish that allows me to communicate with others and accomplish things that I otherwise would not be able to with English alone. It is my desire to use these skills that I have acquired in a helpful way and to spread the joy of understanding and speaking such a beautiful language.

I graduated with a degree in Biological Sciences, a minor in chemistry and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I have been teaching science for 15+ years.

Hello, I am Gwendolyn. I am interested in helping students of all ages with their schoolwork so that they can succeed. I first began tutoring in junior high as a volunteer. I assisted students with their homework. After obtaining a B.S. in Psychology, I worked as an instructional assistant at a Sp. Ed. school for children with learning and behavioral difficulties called Springer School and Center. I helped students with their classwork, specifically in math. In this job experience, I also had the opportunity to tutor students after school. In the summer of 2025, I obtained an M.S. in School Psychology. I had a practicum where I utilized various strategies to help students with their reading, writing, and math work. As a practicum student, I also implemented a lesson plan to help students with their sight words. I created my own worksheets to help the students with the lesson plan. While working at Springer and completing graduate school, I gained a great deal of experience with behavioral management. For instance, I worked as a counselor in the Cleveland Clinic's ADHD Summer Treatment Program for two summers. There, I worked with children with ADHD and behavioral difficulties. I utilized reinforcement to increase appropriate behaviors and punishment for inappropriate behaviors via a token economy. As a tutor, I would welcome working with children with ADHD or other learning/focusing challenges. As your personalized tutor, I can assist with homework and help students with writing formal papers. Throughout college, I learned how to write scientific and formal papers. I can help all-age students with brainstorming ideas, finding sources, and properly citing and formatting papers. In college, I learned a great deal about psychology, such as child development. Hence, I could help undergraduate students understand psychology concepts so that they can adequately complete their schoolwork and master topics. I am here to support. I am passionate about helping students progress in their education and learning.

This will be my second year as a High School ELA teacher. One thing that I've learned as an educator is, I am a forever learner (student) and my passion is teaching. So, expect a safe space for learning while gaining more personal development skills to further utilize inside and outside the classroom.

I find joy in helping students meet their educational needs and helping them succeed wherever their learning takes them. As Albert Einstein indicated, "Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." To think about your thinking is the key to education and represents my goal as a tutor. You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.
