As a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I want to apply my STEM background to help students of all backgrounds succeed in the sciences. At UIC, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Sciences majoring in Neuroscience (summa cum laude), and am attending the UIC College of Medicine in the Fall. I am most passionate in biology and chemistry, but I tutor a broad range of subjects. I believe that tutoring should place a strong emphasis on the student's needs and I am a firm believer in making sure students leave no gaps in their understanding of a topic. In my free time, I like to make my own music and read philosophy books.

I am a student at the University of Illinois Chicago in their Guaranteed Dental program, in which I have a guaranteed spot in their dental school after my bachelor's degree is complete. I have been involved in many activities throughout my undergraduate and high school career, including reading to third graders, teaching juniors how to take the ACT, and editing many essays in college as well. I love aiding other students, even my own peers, and one, it brings me satisfaction when the light bulb finally clicks in the students' minds as well as I feel as if I am contributing to society by passing on my knowledge and preparing the younger generation, as they are the future. My favorite subjects to tutor is English and Writing, Chemistry, and ACT prep. I have always been passionate about helping others more than myself, and I have proven that through the years and will never give up until my students understand the concept. I am a firm believer of taking my time with the student and taking the steps as slow as possible as well as giving them many practice problems, as that is the best way to drill the concepts. In my free time, I dance, paint and draw, bake, and be active outdoors.
Hello! I am currently a fourth year medical student in Chicago. I attended the University of Notre Dame for undergrad, where I was a double major in Chinese and pre-medicine. When I am not studying, I enjoy spending time with family, volunteering, traveling, baking, and being active. I love sharing with others the knowledge and advice I have received in my education.
I am a 4th year medical student in Chicago. I completed by bachelors in Biology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports. I worked as a tutor during my undergraduate studies and enjoy teaching.
I am a current University of Illinois at Chicago undergraduate student. I am currently study biochemistry to pursue medical school. It has been a long hope and dream of mine to become a practicing doctor. I have worked through many obstacles to reach my academic goals. In high school I was the graduations class salutatorian and obtained numerous awards. I gained tutoring experience while in high school after participating as a Hawk tutor and Hope leader. A hawk tutor took time out of their lunch periods to tutor their fellow peers in wide range of subjects.
In all the roles that I have played so far in my life, two words sum all my experiences: lifelong learner. As a lifelong learner, I am not only constantly learning about becoming the best teacher I can be, but also the best daughter, sister, partner, friend, etc. I want to be able to encourage others to then overcome obstacles that prevent them from being the best that they can be; sometimes, we all just need another person to talk to in order to process and find a solution for our struggles in life. I want to then help you become a better you!
I am a graduate of Grand Valley State University with a major in biology, a minor in mathematics, and a provisional teaching certificate for secondary education (grades 7-8 all subjects; grades 9-12 biology and math). I also have advanced degrees in biochemistry, physiology, cell and molecular biology. While a graduate student at the University of Illinois, I taught introductory and advanced courses in biology as a teaching assistant. I am passionate about biology, or shall I say, the study of life. As a scientist in the biotech industry, I used my math and chemistry skills daily.My teaching/tutoring style is to impart enough information and understanding of a topic to direct a learner toward self-education and problem solving. My style is not to provide the answer, but to guide one in knowing how to arrive at the answer. This approach has served me well in my professional career, as well as in my personal life. I find myself always challenged with learning new things, and self-learning is the key. For example, to advance my professional career, I took an online course in statistics. In my personal life, in order to become a better coach to my sons baseball team, I went to the web and studied videos on fielding, batting, throwing and pitching, and used this knowledge to run practices and develop players. My professional career has been in biotech, where I have been a mentor and trainer to colleagues, and an educator and resource to customers toward understanding the application of advanced technologies. Also, as part of my professional career, I had the opportunity to live in France and to further develop my French language skills. After moving to the US from Montreal, I took French language classes to continue to develop my grammar. As an adult, I lived in France for two years and received a Diplome de Langue Francaise avec mention assez bien (high honors) through Alliance Francaise. I enjoy sharing this language and culture with others.I am looking for new students who are eager to learn, and who want to develop their own learning skills. You may be struggling with a subject, but with time, patience, practice and a tutoring approach geared toward your learning style, you will succeed, grow confident, master a subject, and become a self-learner.
I started teaching during graduate school at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign where I got my PhD in Physiology. I am currently a Biology Professor teaching Anatomy and Physiology as well as Genetics and Molecular Biology. My teaching philosophy consists of three parts, presenting information through different media types to help students who learn better visually, linking topics to current events, and providing skills students will learn outside of school. I believe these ideas will help students not only learn the material but will help them retain in by seeing how the ideas taught in class apply to their life. My areas of expertise primarily focuses on Biology, with a focus on Anatomy and Physiology as well as molecular Biology. I can also help with math and science down to the middle school level.
I am a retired healthcare CFO with a desire to promote the accounting profession. In addition I would like to help students gain an interest, understanding and appreciation of the profession. I am a CPA and an Enrolled Agent
I am a student enrolled as a biological sciences major along with an art minor. I have tutored 60 to 70 students every week aging from 3.5 year olds to 14 year olds in English and math.
I have a bachelor's of science in mathematics from the University of Illinois Chicago. Additionally, I've tutored for three years, have extensive experience teaching each of the following subjects: K-8 mathematics, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1-3, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Statistics, and AP Physics 1, and have a year of experience providing SAT and ACT prep (all sections). After graduating, I've continued to find fulfillment in enriching students' learning experiences by making mathematics easier to understand. During sessions, I prefer to build conceptual understanding through collaborative problem-solving exercises. I tend to employ a "guided discovery" teaching approach and adjust my pace in accordance with the student's comfort with the material.
I received my PhD in Psychology/Behavioral Medicine from the University of Miami after receiving my M.S in Clinical Health Psychology from UM, and B.A. in Psychology and B.S. in Biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Consequently, my favorite subjects to tutor are psychology and biology! I also love tutoring writing as I have had extensive experience with academic writing throughout my career. I have taught at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate level and thoroughly enjoy working with students. I have always loved learning and I love sharing my love of learning with others!
