Award-Winning Tutors from University of Chicago

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, although all of my family lives in Brazil. I play soccer in college and I am an amateur pianist as well. I enjoy reading, running, listening to music, and Game of Thrones.I have tutored various subjects, focusing on math and physics, for nearly 4 years. I am currently studying physics at the University of Chicago, and I want to continue on to a PhD. Physics is my passion and I love sharing the joy of it with others; I hope to instill this same passion with everyone. Let me know how I can help you!

My tutoring philosophy centers on active learning, critical thinking, and personalized mentorship. Having guided students through complex coursework and competitive university and graduate admissions, I tailor my approach to each learner's distinct voice and goals. I help students master nuanced essay writing and build compelling applications by demystifying expectations and encouraging self-reflection. Beyond test scores, I aim to foster authentic confidence and lifelong independence.

I am about to begin graduate school as a PhD Student in Condensed Matter Physics. I am currently working at an experimental physics lab at the University of Maryland, College Park.My tutoring style is pretty relaxed. In my experience, if someone knows what question to ask then they are already pretty close to the answer; they just need a push in the right direction. I like to help people talk through the problems. My job is to steer you in the right direction and help you reach that "ah-ha!" moment.

I hold a Master of Arts in Social Science from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor's in Political Science from Grambling State University. Alongside my academic background, I've worked in education as both a program coordinator and a tutor, supporting students from middle school through college. Through my work as a GEAR UP tutor, I supported middle and high school students by helping them strengthen their reading, writing, and study skills while also building confidence in their academic abilities.

I'm a rising fourth year at the University of Chicago, studying Biological Sciences.I spent half my education in Shanghai, China and the other in the U.S., so I've been healthily exposed to a wealth of different educational philosophies, from which I've condensed my favorites to pass on to you. Moreover, I've sat through hours of standardized test prep, and am well situated to help you get through those (let's be honest, filling in bubbles is only fun for the first five minutes). I LOVE biology, and would be more than happy to talk about it!I'm fluent in Mandarin and English, and conversational in Spanish! Currently learning Korean.

Hey! I'm a rising sophomore at UChicago studying economics. I've been helping out people study for exams and school for several years now. Last summer, I helped teach several SAT classes as a TA for Ivy Global. During my time at Stuyvesant High School, I spent two years editing opinions columns and tutoring underclassmen in math and English. I love helping out people seeing them have their "aha!" moment makes my day!I know what it's like to be in your shoes. During my first semester at Stuy, I had a really hard time with physics. I was fortunate enough to have a kind upperclassman walk me through concepts like projectile motion and practice questions. He was a huge reason why I ultimately did well in the course. Having a patient and understanding tutor can make all the difference now that I'm in a position to help people, it's only natural I give back just like that upperclassman did all those years ago.

My focus is on giving students the fundamental skills they need to succeed rather than focusing on test-specific tricks.I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, where I received an MA in the humanities with a focus on on disability studies. For my undergraduate education, I attended Claremont Mckenna College where I focused on English Literature.I have worked as a tutor and academic coach for the past five years. I have a passion for helping students learn how to self-assess and structure their own work so that they can develop holistic, sustainable ways of learning.While I tutor a range of subjects, I most enjoy teaching English, Literature, Writing, and History. In my off time, I practice capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art, and enjoy playing chess.

I am a graduate of Grand Valley State University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Education with a minor in Psychology. I'm currently finishing my masters at The University of Chicago in Analytics. Between undergrad and graduate school, I spent 4 years teaching math in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. I still keep up with my former students, and am always a zoom call away if they ever need my help. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II and Pre-Calc in the classroom setting, and have experience tutoring a range of subjects including Calculus and Statistics at the college level. I have extensive experience with ACT and SAT prep, as I ran ACT and SAT Bootcamps at the high school I taught at. I am passionate about teaching and understand that students have a variety of learning styles. I'm an energetic math teacher who loves to help students increase their motivation. As part of tutoring, I like to help students strengthen their problem solving skills, and help them know what to do when they feel stuck.

I am graduating this fall from UChicago with my Master's of Arts in Social Sciences. I have been doing psychology research for four years, and hope to make a career as a research analyst. Over the years, I have done a lot of tutoring, I was a writing tutor at my undergraduate university's Writing Center, and I have been a tutor at an after school program my year in Chicago. I am very passionate about tutoring, and my specialties are writing and psychology/research. I am an introverted but easygoing and friendly person, and I love to read, play flute, go to the beach, and cook!

Highly accomplished financial professional with over 15 years of diverse experience in investment analysis, strategic finance, and consulting. Chicago Booth MBA (Finance) and CFA Charterholder (2013).

I've been tutoring for several years and love helping my students. I have worked with elementary, middle, high school, and college students in a range of subjects. I'm particularly enthusiastic about teaching writing, philosophy, and math. If academics ever wear on you, I'd love to help you learn how to play piano!

As someone who has scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, GRE, and GMAT, I know what kind of strategies and preparation are necessary in order to succeed in standardized test-taking at the highest level. Whether you are looking to land a top score or to simply looking to bump up your existing score by a few points, I believe that my experience can help you achieve your goals.

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2014. I majored in philosophy and was also a pre-medical student, and am currently applying to medical school. I tutored throughout high school for several hours a week, and when I became a senior I supervised other tutors as president of the National Honor Society. Throughout college I was involved in the Emergency Medical Services as a first responder. I've taken many different courses in many different areas, from computer science to Japanese. I believe it's important to have a solid education in today's world, and as a tutor I emphasize the importance of being prepared for tests. I want to make sure the students themselves can rehearse what they have learned, and that they themselves feel confident in what they are learning. In my spare time, I love learning languages, in particular, Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, French and Hindi. I also am an anime lover.

I am currently a student at the University of Chicago going into my sophomore year. I'm working towards a double major in public policy and international relations with a minor in Middle Eastern studies, and I hope to go to law school after I graduate. I've done paid and volunteer tutoring for three years, across a range of ages and subjects. I've earned consistently high scores on my ACT and AP tests, and I'm comfortable teaching advanced math (up to calculus 3), biology and chemistry as well as ACT/SAT test prep. Besides teaching higher level math and science, I'm comfortable and have experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in all subjects.

If you choose me to be your tutor then you will definitely ace your test. I'm a great math tutor because I understand the material thoroughly, am patient, and know how to explain things.I attended Stuyvesant High School and the University of Chicago; I am currently studying Data Science with Johns Hopkins.

I think everyone has a passion in life, and mine is definitely teaching math. I was fortunate to study at some of the best institutions in the world including Harvard, the University of Chicago, Columbia University and Cornell University. I'm a teacher at heart and would love to help you reach your goals!

Human life is messy and complicated and challenging and very, very beautiful. Whatever its specific focus is at a given time, I think studying philosophy can and should ultimately serve developing the courage and capacity to embrace this beautiful mess. It's a privilege to be able to help people take this task on. I have been doing that for 8 years at the University level and am excited to do so now through online tutoring.

I'm passionate about learning. I was fortunate to have great teachers at the University of Chicago in my graduate education, and at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in my undergraduate education.I try to relate whatever subject I am tutoring to the real world. Learning is a lot easier and fun if students see the relevance to their lives. I am a very patient person, and I believe that making mistakes is often when the most learning occurs. Specific to ACT tutoring, I use a variety of books, including The Complete Guide to ACT Reading and the Ultimate Guide to the Math ACT.Outside of tutoring, I am the director of counseling services at an agency that serves the homeless, where I spend most of my time training and teaching staff and clients. I believe service to others is one of the highest callings, and want to pay my success forward. For fun, I like to read, play soccer, chill out with a good movie or Netflix, and spend time with my son.

I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Thought and Political Economy. In the fall, I will be attending the University of Chicago for a Masters of Science degree in Computational Analysis and Public Policy.After graduating from the University of Massachusetts, I received a fellowship to study Chinese language and culture in Xi'an, China. While there, I participated in language exchange programs where I tutored my peers in English. I've also spent extensive time in the United States tutoring SAT prep and English as a Foreign Language. In addition, I've helped students ranging from Middle School to High School in subjects like Math, Social Science, Science, and History.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Math. I enjoy working through problems with my students and helping them figure out the best way for them to learn. I believe education is one of the most powerful tools available to any individual. I currently work at an NGO that specializes in international education for development. Currently, I am working on livelihood education programs in Liberia and the Philippines. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, art, video games, and going to concerts. I also love the outdoors, and try to go rock climbing, hiking, and biking whenever I can.

I am an English instructor dedicated to enriching the lives of my students. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature from The University of Chicago and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School. Over the years, I have merged my love of language and literature with my long-standing commitment to the welfare of children and young adults. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a substitute teacher, classroom aide, afterschool mentor, and teaching artist. I have also recently served as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan. From these experiences, I have developed a fluid understanding of teaching methods and a keen sense of students' diverse learning styles. I can tutor various English subjects, such as PreK-12 ELA curricula, ELL literacy, composition, creative writing, and ESL (conversational English) instruction; I also offer writing support to new and prospective college students, helping them craft effective admissions essays and persuasive course papers. Essentially as an educator, I believe in fostering a holistic, student-centered teaching/learning environment that prioritizes curiosity, inquiry, critical thought, and conversation. I aim to actively inspire and empower my students, equipping them with the tools to thrive throughout their academic journey.

I recently graduated from the prestigious University of Chicago studying Germanic and Global Studies. I am therefore fluent in German, am well versed in the requirements of English language writing and in research skills. I have experience teaching children and adults, and I'm excited to share my knowledge with all of you!

I have a Masters in Economics and a Masters in Statistics, both from Northern Illinois University. I love learning, and I love teaching, which also gives me chances to learn, whether about others, or about how to better understand and present knowledge to others.

I have a B.A. in English Language and Literature, and in Cinema and Media Studies from The University of Chicago, and an M.A. in Film Studies from The University of Iowa, where I also spent two years as a T.A., teaching undergraduate courses in film studies and related fields. I firmly believe that self-confidence, far more than ambition or natural aptitude, is the greatest determinant of success in an academic setting. By "confidence" I mean not only confidence in ones mastery of topical material, but, more fundamentally, confidence in ones ability to learn and think independently. As an instructor, I am dedicated to helping students succeed because I know from my own experiences as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom star.My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) because such tests cover a finite body of material that can be taught and mastered. In addition to test prep, I also tutor a number of English related subjects (including Writing, Literature, Essay Editing, and Grammar), and offer help with Study Skills and Organization. In my free time, I enjoy reading, music, travel, and photography.

It's very important for me to empower students to be able to succeed on their own. A real tutor gives them the skills they need to perform on their own, with the training wheels off. I have the content knowledge, the teaching experience, and the calm and disciplined approach to help students get to this place.

As someone incredibly passionate about chemistry and math, I love helping others click with those subjects the way that I do. I think that most people are not only capable of learning these subjects, but of enjoying them, and I want to find the right approach to help you develop the same fascination with them as I have.

Academia has always been an important aspect of my life. I have always taken my studies pretty seriously, but I took a greater interest in them during high school. I attended a private school where I was given the opportunity to discover a large range of topics I had never thought about pursuing, such as engineering and biomedical sciences. In college, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics, while minoring in Arabic and gaining a certificate in Middle Eastern and North African studies. During this period, I started tutoring at my school's academic success center. I truly enjoy helping students understand the content necessary to succeed in their academic endeavors, but I also offer my students study and organization tips that will carry over to various aspects of their lives. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago, which I commute to from Milwaukee.

I am a Professor of English Literature and Composition at a small liberal arts college, where I have been teaching for over twenty years. I received my Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of Chicago and my B.A. from The Johns Hopkins University.In addition to tutoring all aspects of writing and literature, I have expertise in advising on college essay writing and the overall college admissions process

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Hello! I am currently a sophomore at the University of Chicago, and I am majoring in History and minoring in Statistics. I was a former pre-med student, bearing interests in both chemistry and cognitive sciences specifically. In regards to hobbies, I enjoy to read, write short stories or lore, run, bike, DJ, and learning to program (I'm currently learning Javascript!).I'm both a dedicated learner and teacher, and I am a very patient person. The key to helping someone to learn a concept is not to force your methodologies on them, but to adapt to their style and mode of thinking.

I'm a current medical student at Rush Medical College with a deep appreciation for the process of learning. I know from personal experience that mastering new material doesn't always come easily it takes patience, structure, and persistence. My own journey has taught me the value of steady progress, and I bring that same perspective when tutoring. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, manageable steps so students can feel confident rather than overwhelmed.

Every passage is a constructed argument, and a good reader can understand and explain that argument and the evidence backing it in either reading or writing. Reading and writing well are essential skills for students' success, and so I train students of all ages to not only understand passages and texts but to communicate more clearly and effectively in their writing. Please reach out to me with any inquiries into subjects I can teach or what lessons with me look like!

My goal is not just to help students with a tough class or a standardized test, but also to teach them learning skills they can apply to the next challenge. When you work with me, we're not just practicing algebra (or whatever); we're practicing the kinds of behaviors that will help you succeed in future math classes. I work with students to match their learning style (visual, auditory, learning by doing, etc.).

I am currently an instructor in psychology and ethics at Colorado Technical University. My education is in Psychology and Philosophy, having degrees from Loyola University and the University of Chicago. I find teaching and helping people to improve their knowledge and intellectual skills to be a great pleasure. It is the most fulfilling activity I have experienced. I am concerned with helping people become aware of those basic and foundational concepts and methods that underlie all higher level abilities and allow for success in mastering difficult areas of intellectual pursuit. I am very sensitive to the variety of learning needs due to individual differences in temperament, thought processes and preferences; as such, I attempt to find ways to explain and describe ideas and skills that will be most amenable to the individual’s capacities and experiences. I enjoy working one-on-one with people who can benefit from my own specialized knowledge; successfully sharing such knowledge is very rewarding. I am a good mentor in my specialized skills of psychology and philosophy and am also valuable in the area of language usage in academic writing, along with proper formatting, citations and references; these are all areas in which I can be of help. I am a fairly laid back person with a good sense of humor with an overall positive approach in working with others. I can, however, be a bit demanding in my standards. I would hope that that is what the student expects from me.

Hi, I'm the philosopher they call Andrew! You are most very definitely welcome to come to me with any school questions, but be warned: there's a good chance we'll soon be figuring out the meaning of life...

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Physics with a specialization in Astrophysics. I have tutored middle school and high school aged students in math and science for over two years. Coming from such a technical background, I know that many students find these subjects intimidating, but I always personalize my approach so that they won't be quite so boring and formal. Math and science are less scary, and more fun, when we can relate them back to real world examples. I'm especially passionate about tutoring math subjects because I used to hate math, but then someone took the time to make sure I really understood everything, and it quickly became my favorite subject. I also focus on concepts and why we solve questions in a specific way, rather than memorizing the steps for a specific type of question. I have found that having a solid understanding of the concepts behind the question gives the student more confidence to solve a wide variety of problems. In my free time, if I'm not cooking, then I'm watching movies or catching up on the latest Netflix series.

I am a University of Chicago graduate experienced in tutoring English, Writing, Biology, Nutrition, Public Policy, Philosophy, SAT and ACT. Since graduation, I have relocated to New York City and work for a market research company called Ipsos. I am a Research Analyst on the Syndicated Global Healthcare team. I am passionate about health, data analysis, and writing. In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, Pilates, indoor rock climbing, cooking, and listening to House music.

I am currently studying law at Washington University in St. Louis. I have received a B.A. in mathematics from the University of Chicago. Though my life has moved away from the study of math, I remain passionate about math and learning in general. I have always been a strong believer that we learn by teaching, and I am excited to learn as I help you learn!I primarily tutor math, ranging from arithmetic to calculus. I have always found manipulating numbers and variables to be extremely satisfying, and I look forward to sharing this passion with you. I believe the best way to learn is by trying, so I like to work through a lot of practice problems with students. The most important part of the learning process is making mistakes, and you should never be ashamed of making one. We will work through every misstep together, figure out exactly where we went wrong, why, and how, and before long I'm confident that subjects that once seemed insurmountable will make sense.Outside of academics, I like to spend my free time playing board and card games. I love replaying my favorite games, on each replay learning a new nuance of the game's rules and understanding how to play it a little better. I also love musical theater, though I've never been much of a singer myself. But we should never let ourselves be scared away from our passions because of difficulty.Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better, and I look forward to getting to know you!

I'm a recent graduate from Hobart College where I double majored in political science and philosophy.I'm an aspiring academic in Political Science and I hope to soon be off to grad-school!Academically, I'm Interested in Political Theory and Philosophy. I took classes in many different departments in college, and can help with subjects all over the humanities.In my spare time I love all things sports and binge watching documentaries and podcasts.I'm looking forward to working with new students and helping them achieve!

As a first-generation immigrant from the Dominican Republic, I lead my life according to the values of independence, adaptability, and unconstrained passion. These values have aided me well along my academic journey. Growing up in a predominantly Spanish-speaking household in the US forced me to become an independent learner at a young age. A National AP Scholar who has taken over 10 AP classes, I have substantial experience with advanced curriculums. I recently graduated from the University of Chicago with general honors in the college and departmental honors in Biological Sciences. The rigors of an elite liberal arts education helped me realize the importance of developing an intuition in educational pursuits. I became a teaching assistant at the University of Chicago with this exact focus in mind for my students and learned to tutor them on complex topics ranging from evolution to sickle cell disease in a way that resonates best with their diversity of learning styles.I have come to believe in a tutoring style that prioritizes establishing a sound conceptual foundation that a student can later extend into more advanced content and novel applications. I also believe that challenging students to think beyond the content presented is crucial for the development of critical thinking skills and curiosity. Beyond all else, however, I believe that one learns best when he or she finds meaning in the material that extends beyond textbooks or assessments. I hope I can be the bridge between the objective content presented and subjective awe experienced by a student. I am a firm believer in the idea that there is no better feeling than that "aha!" moment.Having endured a challenging pre-medical curriculum at the University of Chicago and scored in the 95th+ percentile on the MCAT, I have a thorough background in STEM that ranges from calculus to neuroscience. As someone who aspires to become a physician, I tend to analyze the world around me based on scientific principles and have developed the intuition needed for nuanced and creative approaches to novel problems. I believe I can assist students with developing a similar intuition and empower them to approach scientific problems from new perspectives that complement their own.Despite my scientific background, I am enamored by both creative and argumentative writing. I have a firm grasp of the English language and understand how to read between the lines of text. The liberal arts education I received at the University of Chicago has strengthened my writing skills and has introduced me to meditated critical thinking skills I hope to share with others.I strongly desire to not only help others learn but to help them acquire the skills and attitudes needed to become lifelong learners with a curious, skeptical eye. Please feel free to contact me so we can begin this journey!

Hi, my name is Sydney! I'm excited to help others succeed in economics. After majoring in Econ in college and taking multiple graduate-level courses, I've learned how to make complex concepts feel more tangible and real rather than abstract or inaccessible. I enjoy approaching topics from multiple perspectives to find what clicks, and I tailor my explanations to different learning styles. Topics include elasticity, revenue and profit maximization, calculating surplus, menu pricing, game theory, and more!
