I have been teaching and tutoring students for more than 15 years in Chicago-area high schools and elementary schools. I have experience in elementary mathematics, algebra, algebra 2, trigonometry, geometry, college algebra, chemistry, physics, and biology.

I graduated from UIC with a bachelor in Biochemistry. While in college, I tutored high school students. My favorite subjects were French and chemistry, but I tutored all high school curriculum except Spanish. I will describe my teaching philosophy as " to make each training session as engaging as possible while also assisting students in developing self-study habits. The possibilities are endless when equipped with the tools to learn. " I prefer classroom where there is a blend of different teaching styles. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy traveling, eating and sleeping.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. In the past, I have tutored primary, secondary, and post-secondary students. My tutoring in the past has included, but not limited to the following subjects: Math (High School and College Level), Science (High School - Chemistry, Physics, Biology and College Level- Chemistry), English with a specialization in essay editing, and more. My favorite subjects to tutor are all aspects of math and science, which I enjoy. My philosophy for teaching is to discover your learning style to increase learning and improve academia. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy sports, in particular basketball, softball, and track and field.

Throughout my career, I have been teaching others how to improve one's self by reading, learning new techniques, and applying new methods.I like to teach young adults and adults in general who have being left behind and out of school for several years. Individuals who work hard and now are looking for an opportunity to advance their present conditions through education and training. I would like to guide them so that they could be able to combine their experiences and the new acquired education to articulate a vision and set concrete goals for improving their future. Because It is through education and the setting of goals and objectives that most people become empowered to continue furthering their education, professional development, and improving their lives.In addition, I want to teach and help participants develop the needed critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to adapt to the constant changes of the social and economic conditions. This is what education and learning another language can do.

I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am in my last semester in pursuit of a Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering. I have had tutoring experience through my service fraternity Beta Kappa Zeta. During my time as a fraternity member I tutored Math and Chemistry to younger members. While I specialize in Math and Science my favorite subject is Chemistry. I like Chemistry because it allows me to gain satisfaction by solving problems that others might consider difficult. Chemistry is a great challenge but is a prime example that even the most difficult concepts can become easy if they are broken down into its simplest pieces. This coincides with my tutoring philosophy. I believe teamwork is the most powerful tool when learning. When teaching I like to model problems with "think out louds" so the student can get an idea how I would approach the problem. Secondly, I like to do the problem with the student to make sure they have grasped a concept before having them attempt problems on their own. Working together allows me to assess what concepts tend to be tricky for an individual that they may not have been able to articulate themselves. This collaboration of both student and tutor is what makes this system so effective. Outside of school I have a passion for sports particularly football and basketball. I love the idea of putting the correct people together and working hard to achieve a common goal as much as the sports themselves. I have been on many intramural teams from softball to soccer, and have found that some of my best relationships have started on the court/field whether it be competitive or recreational.

My goal is to help you understand the material in a way that is simple and engaging so you can clear out any confusion, enjoy the learning process, and carry that forward in your studies. I do that by connecting the content to what is familiar and what matters to you so that the experience is meaningful and the learning sticks.I have my doctorate in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I was an adjunct professor there and at several other schools for over ten years. I helped many students understand and enjoy topics like Statistics and Research Methods that at first seemed intimidating. I've also taught several business classes aswell as tutored high school students for ACT/SAT prep and for classes including English, History, Chemistry, and many others.These days, I work as a positive psychologist, helping people and organizations flourish. I am all about helping others succeed and I look forward to helping you excel in your studies.

I am a graduate from University of Illinois at Chicago. I recently received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry. Throughout my undergraduate years, I have extensively taken an active role in a broad range of research projects including public health and biochemistry. Given my background, I am passionate about science and public health. In my experience helping students struggling with science courses, I have learned that a lot of times constructing the basics about a given topic makes it easier to learn complex topics. Everyone has a different learning technique, and I am here to help.

I enjoy teaching and tutoring people and to become great. It's my passion to always help other become successful.

I am an engineer with a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I have taught math and science courses for 1.5 years. I also have several years of private tutoring experience, teaching various levels of math and science from elementary school through college. Teaching is my passion, not only because I enjoy doing it, but also since I see how it makes a real difference in my students' lives.I always attempt to explain difficult concepts in simple language, with real-world examples that my students can relate to. My tutoring sessions start with a discussion of the important terms and concepts, in which the student takes an active part. Subsequently, we will be working through some problems together, as I believe that problem-solving is the best way to learn new material. So be prepared for my hands-on approach! By the way, from my past experience, I know where students often experience difficulties, so will be spending some time on turning these weaknesses into strengths.Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places and travel abroad every year. My hobbies include chess, soccer, hiking, and martial arts.

I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Bachelor's of Science in Biological Sciences and a Bachelor's of Art in Psychology. As a first generation college student, adjusting to university life was at times challenging. Doing well in school was just important to me as spending time with family, having a social life, and working to support myself. Thankfully, I was able to adapt. Over time I learned little tricks to make studying more efficient; to memorize more information in a shorter period of time. Of course, doing well in school also requires motivation. As your tutor, I can help teach you specific course material as well as more general study techniques that will keep you motivated to learn.As an undergraduate, my primary focus of study was in neurobiology. I have a confident grasp of introductory and intermediate biochemistry, organic chemistry, genetics, and microbiology. Additionally, I am proficient in undergraduate general and cognitive psychology. Currently, I am available to tutor college students in select biology and psychology courses. Additionally, I will be available to high school students preparing to take the ACT. I am confident that together, we can improve your academic performance!

I am passionate about the sciences and want to help my students not only appreciate the beauty within it but also have experiences in helping with mathematics, test prep, healthcare, post secondary decisions, and more! Outside of teaching I love cooking, walking, yoga, spending time with family, traveling, and learning about new cultures (ask me about my time when I lived in Japan if interested)! I am a strong believer in education and will do my best to help student's realize their potential which is the key to unlocking all the treasures of this world.

Hi! My name is Juana (Emmy) Uzquiano and I am a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am a native Spanish speaker, growing up immersed in the language, speaking it at home, taking classes through high school and college. I am currently double majoring in Spanish and Psychology, due to that I have taken about two semesters of college Spanish courses.

Eager and enthusiastic, I have lots to give, lots to teach, and lots to bring to a student. I believe that comprehensive tutoring, working towards full understanding in the material and practice is key.A little about me...I am a college student at the University of Illinois at Chicago double majoring in biology and political science. As someone who went to large high school, I understand that it falling behind and dropping from where you want to be can happen in an instant. That is why I chose tutoring; it is fulfilling opportunity to help someone reach their academic and intellectual potential.

Im currently an undergraduate bioengineering student at UIC minoring in economics and set to begin graduate work next fall. Before transferring to UIC I attended Augustana College and pursued degrees in physics and environmental studies. I hold excellent interpersonal and math skills and am good at explaining as well as doing math problems which in my opinion is somewhat of a rarity among science and math teachers. Throughout my youth I coached a swim team and have always gained an immense satisfaction from helping others. Tutoring is a win-win situation for both parties. The student becomes fluent and develops interest in a subject they have struggled with in the past and I gain from helping them improve and succeed. I like to make learning fun and strive to make the information relatable to my students. This way we can become excited about the subjects which makes learning that much easier. Mostly I am interested in tutoring math and math-related subjects including economics. Throughout sessions I will always try to convey exactly how important it is to learn the information, because like it or not, even if the student is not interested in learning, I want to convey that in life we often are forced into tasks that are not always enjoyable. Whats important is to persevere and understand that there is no other option but to complete the task or learn the material and we can only gain from giving it our best effort. During free time I enjoy reading The Economist magazine, playing table tennis and badminton, and eating Thai food. Thank you for your time.

After graduating from high school I joined the United States Marine Corps. I spent 4.8 years in the corps, and was stationed overseas the entire time (Okinawa, Hungary, Kosovo). I have traveled to over 15 countries, and have developed a fascination for learning about different ethnic cultures. I enjoyed my time in the corps, and do my best to always try to incorporate my stories into my lesson plans. I am currently pursuing my TESOL certificate (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages).For over 10 years I have tutored fellow students, coworkers, high school students, college students, ESL learners, and adults. During my undergrad program I was a writing tutor for not only fellow University Of Illinois at Chicago students, but also for students at Jones College Prep. During my graduate program I also tutored at Jones, and at Whitney M. Young Magnet School. I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students make sense of difficult topics. I also enjoy meeting new students, and forming a strong rapport.In order to create a successful tutoring session I believe the session must be student centered. During my student teaching experience at Whitney M. Young Magnet School I learned the importance of establishing rapport with the students. A strong rapport helps to create a relaxed learning environment. I also keep my lessons interesting by intertwining current events, my own personal experiences, and technology together. By using multiple teaching strategies I can cater to all learning types, since every student learns in their own unique way.
