Award-Winning Tutors from Loyola University-Chicago

Hi! My name is Judah and I am an experienced tutor specializing in LSAT Preparation. I scored in the 99th percentile on the January 2025 LSAT, and would love to help you do the same!

I am a recent law school graduate. Having used tutoring and other outside help during my studies, I now want to give back to the community that gave me the skills necessary to receive excellent grades. I enjoy tutoring on various subjects included but not limited to Spanish, ESL and general school subjects. I love being surrounded by students. Now that I am no longer a student, I wish to contribute to the coming generation by passing along some of my skills. I look forward to tutoring sessions!

I graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago with a M.Ed. in Instructional Leadership in Elementary Education, with middle school Social Studies and Science endorsements. I also received a B.A in history at Loyola University Chicago. Apart from whole and small-group instruction, I have also tutored students individually at school, as well as adults in ESL instruction. I tutor all the main subjects up to 8th grade, as well as high school history. I am also bilingual in Arabic and can tutor in the subject for those interested. History has always been my favorite subject, for I'm treated to an engaging story in every class. I believe in a constructivist approach to learning, and will act as a guide for the student to learn, explore and wonder. Lecturing does not engage the student in learning, and will hinder their progress, so I make it a point to provide discussion-based instruction, where the student has an active role in his/her own learning. I have an eclectic taste in music, enjoy reading and swimming, and will never say no to a friendly board game or a game of touch football.

I am a patient and encouraging tutor who enjoys helping elementary and middle school students build confidence and strengthen their academic skills. I focus on creating a supportive learning environment, explaining concepts clearly, and adapting my teaching style to fit each student's needs so learning feels engaging and manageable.

I am an undergraduate student at Loyola University Chicago. I am a biochemistry major on the pre-med path. I love helping other students because it gives me a sense of giving back. I tutor high school biology, high school chemistry, AP biology, and AP chemistry.

I am a former middle school teacher currently working in higher education. I have a Bachelors Degree in Mass Communications from Saint Xavier University, and a Master's Degree in Education from Loyola University. My extensive experience in education ranges from teaching in a traditional classroom setting and non-traditional settings to children and adults. Being fluent in Spanish, I have experience teaching Spanish to English speakers and English to Spanish speakers. I have a huge passion for music, and have been playing guitar for 12 years. I truly believe that everyone can learn and succeed given the right support and structure and it would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to assist you in reaching your academic goals.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Loyola University Chicago with a B.S. in Biology in May 2013. My tutor experience ranges over five years total. The most recent experience I had was being a Biology and Chemistry tutor at Loyola's Center for Tutoring and Academic Excellence. My job entailed facilitating collaborative learning groups that allowed students to discuss topics, problem solve and overcome academic difficulties. My philosophy is not to teach or lecture students. I like to serve as a guide to fill in missing information to help the student realize the answers. They have all the knowledge they need, it is just a matter of discovering the best way for them to study and comprehend it. I love to see my tutees be successful and go above and beyond to develop sessions around his or her needs and learning styles. During my tutor role at Loyola, I was also a Tutor Lead who developed training workshops for fellow tutors on subjects such as time management and study skill tips.Additionally, while at Loyola, I participated in undergraduate research working with the Malaria parasite. I was a member and served as the Vice President of the Panhellenic sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha. Currently, I am taking classes part time at UW- Milwaukee to complete a teaching certification and Master's Degree program in Secondary Education Curriculum and Instruction for Science. My current goals are to become a high school science teacher and continue to positively impact the lives of students.

I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with an MS in Microbiology and Immunology with an emphasis in Immunology. I also received a BA in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. Throughout my schooling I have had experience tutoring/teaching my colleagues in both group and one-on-one settings. What I have learned is no student learns material the same way. It takes dialogue between tutor, students, and parents to determine the best plan of action for the student to attain their academic goals. I believe in an active learning environment that includes discussion-based learning, supplemented with hands on learning activities within my sessions that is specifically tailored to each student's needs and grade level.

I am currently a senior at Loyola University Chicago pursuing degrees in Psychology and Social Work. In the fall, I'll begin my Master's of Social Work with a focus on working with children and families. I am passionate about helping students gain confidence in their academics through a gentle yet direct approach. My areas of specialty are Psychology, English, and ACT prep. When working with others, I have a goal of empowering them to see and achieve their full potential, which I accomplish through directive strategies that allow students to explore different theories and learning practices than they'd considered. I will provide individual-based tutoring that is catered towards the student's needs to ensure their success.

My name is Zeeshan Qazi and I am majoring in Biology at Loyola University Chicago. I am working towards becoming a physician, and I expect to attend medical school next year. I have scored at the 100th percentile for the Physical Sciences portion of the MCAT. My Chemistry, Physics, and Biology knowledge is quite extensive. I have always been fascinated by science and medicine. I have been tutoring for 3 years, and I have experience teaching from 1st grade students all the way up to college kids. I enjoy tutoring because it is a way for me to help someone academically, which I believe is a very important part of one's life.

I pride myself in bringing professional education and professional experience together to create context to help you understand things that are difficult to understand without a combination of education and experience. I believe in lifelong learning, helping others succeed, and trying to make the learning process fun!

I am a graduate of Loyola University Chicago and majored in Cognitive/Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology with a minor in Spanish Language. While in high school, I tutored many students through my high school's tutoring program. I mainly tutor in Math and Spanish (specifically Algebra 1, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 2 and Spanish 1-4). I would describe my teaching style as very different depending on the student I am tutoring because I aim to find the best method of teaching that is most beneficial to each student! Aside from Academics, I enjoy being outdoors, painting, volunteering, playing with my dog, and crocheting! Most of all, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

I am a experienced professional with Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) graduate degree and Bsc. (Bachelors of Science) in Biology and Business Administration. Apart from my professional experience, I have a passion for running, volunteer teaching and reading. I also play the keyboard and listen to instrumental music in my free time.

I am a recent graduate of Loyola University of Chicago, with both a Biology and Bioinformatics BS(2021) and a Bioinformatics MS(2022). I am also starting my PhD at the University of Chicago this fall! My focus at Loyola mainly revolved around the microbiome and computational biology; completing my thesis work studying Celiac disease and the microbiome in the Burns lab. I have experience teaching biology at the college level, at Loyola I was responsible for teaching general biology I and II. I am experienced teaching a wide variety of biological subject matter, however I also have expertise in the realm of computational biology and bioinformatics. I am well versed in R, python and java and how to apply these coding languages to obtain meaningful results from large datasets. It is my goal to make science not only fun and interesting, but also accessible. I will adapt my teaching style to meet the individual needs of each student, and provide interesting and relevant real world examples of biological concepts to illustrate how biology can affect one's everyday life. I spend much of my spare time at the beach with my 6 year old chihuahua Suzy, at the gym or watching movies with friends.

Hi! My name is Nomika. I went to North Central College for my first year to play on the lacrosse team but decided that I wanted to focus on academics more which brings me to where I am now. I'm currently doing my second year as an undergrad student at Loyola University Chicago.I am experienced in tutoring students in high school - specifically math related courses - but have also helped my peers bump up their standardized test scores.I understand that each person has a different style of learning and I believe that it is instrumental for a tutor to adapt to their style to help students achieve their best. I will do that for each student I assist.

I am pursing my Masters in Medical Sciences, from graduating with my bachelors in biology from Loyola University Chicago last year. I will be continuing my education by getting my masters and eventually medical school, but in the meantime I would like to make use of how I have dedicated my life to education and helping to pass on my knowledge to others. I have been speaking Spanish for 10 years now as my fourth language and I am tutoring in Spanish (all levels, A1-C2) and linguistics. To have effective learning, it is imperative to have a good foundation of structure, lesson plans, and engaging learning activities to have the student become comfortable with real-life communication and comprehension. I use curative, teaching certified lesson plans, including all the parts of the language: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. My students and I will alternate between these four skills, becoming more comfortable with each of them overtime and integrating them all. In addition, I find much joy and take a lot of pride in my efforts to have become educated and educate those around me. I love to take the time to help people feel seen, appreciated, and to provide any support that I can to ensure my students are able to move forward on their own, especially since I have struggled with a learning disability myself and have only ever wished for someone to be patient with me and my learning. I have experience teaching students with disabilities, different learning preferences, faster and slower learning paces, and all over the USA! You will find I am flexible with my schedule also and can personalize lessons plans accordingly. I also like to do periodical check-ups and assessments to see the progress the student and I are making and seeing how we can only grow more! I have lived in three Spanish speaking countries such as Spain, Belize, and Chile. I have also spent a lot of time, a few + months, in Madrid, Barcelona, and Santiago de Chile with close friends, much like family, and I have visited Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, and Mallorca (a Spanish Gran Canarias Island). I also live in Chicago where the culture is very Mexican influenced so I have experience with the Mexican dialect and cultural customs. My mother also lives in Florida so I've had exposure to the Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican dialects and cultures as well. This has allowed me to expand my cultural awareness and become comfortable with different dialects, customs, and even jargon and slang! This list will only continue to grow hopefully!

I am a senior at Loyola University Chicago, majoring in international studies and minoring in Chinese and English. I will be graduating this spring and plan to return to China next fall, where I recently spent a semester abroad studying Mandarin intensively. I have a passion for learning languages, and have also studied Spanish and German for several years. In the past I have tutored Chinese students looking to improve their conversational English skills as well as American elementary school students in basic reading and reading comprehension skills. My favorite subject to tutor is reading and writing because I am passionate about sharing the rich heritage and nuances of my native tongue with others. Outside of languages, I enjoy traveling, reading, swimming, dancing and attending plays or concerts. I believe that the key driver of academic success is genuine interest in the subject. As a tutor, my foremost aim is to find new and creative ways to provoke curiosity and excitement in the student, because after all, learning must first and foremost be fun!!

I believe that I am an effective tutor, due to my number of years of experience with children ranging from primary to middle school grades. I am professional, patient and a good listener. I am resourceful when it comes to content area as well as finding multiple ways to approach the content based on students need and learning style. In addition my main objective is to teach the student how to learn, and to assist them in building self-confidence.

Since I was a little girl, history has been in my blood, although being a historian was never my plan (I wanted to be an actress). Growing up I was fascinated with Abraham Lincoln and the untimely passing of such a prominent public figure. I loved every trip to the Chicago Historical Society (known today as the Chicago History Museum) as a child. I enjoyed reading about the Puritans and the Native American culture.At this point I'm comfortable classifying myself as a historian although it took me awhile to get to this point in my life. In 1999, I received my B.A. in History from Loyola University Chicago and in 2002, I received my M.A. in Public History from the same school. I then went on to earn my Ph.D. in American History from Northern Illinois University in 2011.I teach college history online full time and I have taught numerous survey and upper-division American history classes at local "traditional" colleges and universities. When I teach, I don't necessarily focus on the facts of history, but on the larger transitions. I want students to understand how history has changed over time. I also try to convey to students that history can be fun to learn.In my personal life, I am the mother of two small children and I have been married for fifteen years. I workout regularly, but I also enjoy being a couch potato. I love being with my kids and husband. Oh and I love Doctor Who! I also enjoy spending time with my friends, debating current issues, history, and historiography.

I'm a grad student at DePaul University, finishing my Masters in Physics. I did my undergrad at Loyola University Chicago where I received a degree in biophysics. I'm working towards applying to medical school. I love science and math, and have been tutoring for the past 7 years in math, science and English writing. I'm always excited to help and pass along the knowledge I've gained throughout my schooling to those in need of tutoring.

A graduate of Loyola University, where I completed my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in English as well as a Masters of Education in Special Education. I also completed endorsements in Educational Leadership at National Louis University and Director of Special Education at the University of St. Francis. I am an experienced Special Educator and Educational Coordinator with thirty-one years of experience with students of various academic abilities. I have a strong background in social sciences and am skilled in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, public speaking, leadership, Junior High and Secondary Education, communication with staff, districts, and families, IEP writing and implementation, and training and evaluation.

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 surgical resident who enjoyed and excelled in math and science throughout school. I tutored during high school and college and really enjoyed helping students understand new concepts.

My experience with tutoring goes back to high school. I tutored math (and other subjects when needed) for three years at Niles North High School. I am also majoring in mathematics at Loyola University of Chicago.Although by personality I am an introvert, I enjoy meaningful relationships and am eager to build them with whomever I meet.As for teaching, I strive to be flexible in my teaching methods as I understand all tutees learn differently. For this reason, I try to make myself as available and open as possible so that the tutee may share his/her concerns, questions, and/or suggestions with me. I believe learning is a two-way process therefore open communication is essential. I take feedback very seriously and adjust my methods accordingly.Overall, my goal is to provide my clients with service that not only focuses on absorbing information but also on enriching their relationship with mathematics.

I am very passionate about tutoring and look forward to meeting new students with a desire to learn!

My name is Katie, and I am a recent graduate of Loyola University Chicago with a Bachelor's degree in Math and a minor in Environmental Science.I have been tutoring for five years, and I love not only helping people learn new things, but to be constantly learning from young brilliant minds. I like to take a holistic approach to teaching, prioritizing strong interpersonal relationships and making sure the student feels comfortable in the tutoring space. I believe in the value of learning from mistakes and asking questions, and nobody is too young or too old to develop their math and critical thinking skills.

I am a current undergraduate student pursuing a B.A. in Economics with a minor in History. I have a passion for showing students the value of the information they learn. I believe learning is most meaningful when students make connections organically, synthesizing information in the way they best retain. I have experience tutoring students at all levels of high school as well as college freshmen.

I find passion in tutoring beyond simply teaching a concept. Watching someone accomplish a goal that you have helped them achieve is truly priceless. While overall comprehension is certainly important, I strive to teach others how to overcome problems using their existing knowledge. Through this, they can build the confidence to overcome future obstacles by themselves. Along this basis I specially tailor each tutoring session to individual needs in order to reach success.A little about me, I am currently a double major at Loyola University pursuing a B.S. in Biology along with a Master's in Business Administration. I have a wide range of academic interests, which have given me a strong foundation to teach a variety of topics. My professional experience, most recently managing large-scale business operations, has taught me how to lead others towards success and how to work with individuals of varying backgrounds.I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Hi, I'm Nick! I am a recent graduate of Loyola University-Chicago with a Master's degree in History. In addition to history, I am also very passionate about reading and writing. It is my goal to provide the highest possible quality tutoring in these subjects, and to provide students with a safe and fun environment in which to learn not just these subjects, but also the values of equity, diversity, and inclusivity.

I have three years of tutoring under my belt; I tutored high school students as a National Honors Society member and prepared juniors to take the SAT. I can assist students in algebra, reading comprehension, environmental science, improving writing skills and editing essays. Personally, I've studied for and taken multiple AP exams and the ACT so I can give advice and and aid in preparation for other to do so. I also have experience tutoring elementary school students and adapting my tutoring style to fit the needs of the pupil.

Thank you.

I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and Spanish. I really enjoyed learning from my teachers and know how transformative good teaching can be. I earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives. I now am about to graduate medical school and enter residency later in the summer, but before I start off my busy career as a doctor, I'm looking to make some money so I can travel and tackle bucket list items that I've not had a chance to do yet. Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and biochemistry because I enjoy helping students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.

I am an undergraduate student at Loyola University Chicago, studying Health Systems Management, while concurrently pursuing a career in medicine. I have a passion for science which led me to accept an offer for medical college. I also have extensive experience in tutoring through Loyola University Chicago. My sessions encompass a diverse group of students, guiding them through many concepts of the basic science courses. Through this process, I not only build meaningful relationships with my peers, but promote an environment of healthy learning. With this and many other tutoring experiences before college, I have been able to craft my communication skills, gather perspective on diverse populations, and even fortify my work-ethic to keep the scientific information relevant. These skills have helped me greatly in providing flexible and adaptive teaching experiences to maintain the comfort of the students.

Hi students! My name is Lea (lay-uh) and I'm a doctoral student in psychology who genuinely loves teaching and mentoring students through the sometimes overwhelming world of academics. My approach is simple: learning should feel approachable, empowering, and even fun, not stressful or shame-filled. I'm here to meet you where you are, not to test you or make you feel "behind. I'm deeply passionate about psychology specifically and about helping other students build confidence in the field. I know firsthand how daunting psych courses can feel, and my goal is to make the material feel less scary and more meaningful. Together, we'll focus on understanding rather than memorizing, curiosity rather than fear, and growth rather than perfection. If you're looking for a tutor who is encouraging, relatable, and genuinely invested in your success, I'd love to work with you!!

I am currently a Product Designer. I graduated from Loyola University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Aside from work, I am a dancer teacher and love to teach core school subjects well! Specifically Math and sciencesI strongly believe in education. You are always a student, no matter the age, you are always learning.As a tutor, I strongly believe in incentives.

At this school, I am also the Science Olympiad coach where I teach a range of different science events. As a tutor, I come up with plans to help students achieve their goals based on their age, the subject, and their desire for improvement in certain areas. Math and science are my strong suit and what I am most passionate about tutoring. I want to use my experience to help my students learn how to tackle any problem that comes their way!

As a student in the school of Education at Loyola Chicago, I have spent each semester of my education classes in middle school and high school math classes aiding teachers in teaching and facilitating the classroom. This has involved one-on-one, small group, and full class teaching, experience that I consider to be as hands on as tutoring.

I believe that the key to learning is in the conversation! Working one-on-one with students gives us both the chance to see what methods will work and what your goals are. I like to brainstorm with my students, working toward a final result together. I have a bachelor's degree in English from Loyola University Chicago, a master's degree in literature from Western Illinois University, and I'm currently getting my PhD in literature at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. I love to read and write, and I have been teaching college composition courses since 2014. I have been helping students of all types with their writing and literacy skills since 2012. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing video games, crafting, baking, and hanging out with my family. I hope to be able to help students achieve their academic goals!

Education is the key to success!

I have 17 years teaching experience. I love teaching, whether it be with children or adults! It is my passion. I have experience teaching Reading, Writing, English, Elementary or Middle School Math and College Psychology and just about any grade or course in Special Education. I use an abundance of techniques from mnemonic strategies to games, tricks, reverse teaching, and so forth until I find what works for the student ! I believe everyone can learn if given a chance.I have had much success not only in teaching my students to pass their courses but in preparing them and helping them pass State and National tests. I have been told that I am a patient teacher and I like to think that is true.
