I am a current graduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). I have a major in Biological Sciences and a minor in Psychology from UIC and am now studying public health and medicine in an MD/MPH program. I started tutoring throughout my undergraduate career and have since worked with students in a variety of settings, both in person and online. I have tutored students all around Chicago, from kindergarten through high school, towards academic success in all subjects.For me, tutoring is a personalized experience. As I work with students, I learn how to adapt to their needs, relate seemingly uninteresting topics to their life, and think outside the box to explain a concept to them that may be particularly challenging or unclear. Through specialized individual attention, students became confident in their own abilities and began to develop into young scholars. Tutoring provided a means of reviewing and solidifying my own knowledge of topics as I taught it to my students while allowing me to pass my love of learning on to others.Some of my hobbies include working out, traveling, and photography. In my spare time, I can often be found exploring all of the wonderful festivals and restaurants Chicago has to offer!

I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus in Latino and African American History from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I received my Master of Arts in Teaching from Columbia College Chicago. I am a Golden Apple Scholar which has provided me with extensive experience outside of the classroom within the realm of education. I have taught in Chicago Public Schools for six years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I believe that it is possible for all students to not only learn subject material but to also find meaning and opportunity with the material they are studying.
Hello! My name is Malik Blackman and I am a second year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I chose to become a Mechanical Engineer because of my passion for mathematics and physics, which stemmed from a very young age. My mother instilled a strong work ethic and zeal inside of me even before I ever stepped foot into a classroom. Because of these foundational skills I have been able to excel academically. During my high school career I was ranked first during my freshman year, and ended in the top 10% of my graduating class. After my first year at the University of Illinois at Chicago, I received at 3.30 GPA. In addition, I have worked as a Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Intern for the past three summers, starting in the summer of 2014. Working at the lab has allowed me to connect with some of the best engineers and physicists in the world. In addition it has allowed me to gain insight on what a real-world in the field mechanical engineer does, as i was given projects that were related to my field of study. I would like to utilize all of my knowledge and resources to help YOU succeed!
There is no better feeling than helping a young child understand a new concept or gain a new skill. I have been in the field of Education for over 30 years and have enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to working with children online to help them succeed!
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.
I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. In the 35+ years since graduating from college, I have used my engineering, science, and math skills in two ways, primarily as a full time Chemical Engineer helping large corporations manufacture chemicals and fuels, and also as a part time teacher, teaching high school algebra, geometry and chemistry. I found teaching much more rewarding than working as a Chemical Engineer because it affects the lives of the next generation.Since I was a child I have always loved science. I loved science class in elementary school and biology and chemistry in high school. But I did not love math until seventh grade when our math teacher made math seem easier and more enjoyable. After that, I excelled at math through high school (algebra 1 and 2, trigonometry, analytical geometry) and college (college algebra, 4 semesters of calculus, and differential equations). I had the highest math grade point average in my community college where I took all my college math courses. I credit my junior high math teacher with me becoming an engineer. In a similar way, I would love to help young people at not only doing better at math and science, but at excelling in these subjects, in their future careers and in life in general.I am currently tutoring general math, general science, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and Chemistry. I like tutoring rather than teaching because I can work at the student's pace until he or she catches on, without being concerned with ignoring the other students. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because I have found in my career and in my personal life that algebra has been the most practical and useful.

I'm currently in my last year of my physics PhD program. I have been tutoring online on Varsity since 2022. I have tutored college-level physics, Calculus, AP physics 1/2/C, AP calculus AB/BC, algebra, etc. On a separate note, I have been working as a Teaching assistant at my university (part of my PhD program) from 2020 to present. I have taught lab classes and problem-solving classes in college-level Physics classes such as Mechanics and Electromagnetism. I encourage trial-and-error. I believe making mistakes is the first step to learning anything. I focus on making materials interesting and showing different perspectives. I prefer a back-and-forth discussion style tutoring where we explore different ideas, rather than a lecture-style session.
I am passionate about helping students because I know that with the right academic and socio-emotional support and explanation, everyone is capable of learning and succeeding. I know how difficult it can be to learn mathematics, and I know I have gained a lot of tools and ways of understanding the concepts that I can share with others. In mathematics as well as other classes, I know how important it is to have self-confidence and perseverance to solve difficult questions independently.I've worked with students in middle school all the way up to college, which includes students age 18 all the way to 70. At the Metro Achievement Center in Chicago, I tutored middle school students for a year and high school students for two years to improve academic performance by setting semester-long and weekly academic goals, social-emotional learning goals, and improving study habits. Throughout the year, the students I tutored and I tracked progress and saw that students improved academic performance as a result of gaining social-emotional and academic tools. I have tutored and graded college students' work with the University of Illinois at Chicago for 3 and 1 year. Thus, I am familiar with the content and expectations of algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, and Calculus 1, 2, and 3. Overall, I have challenged students resulting in a deeper overall understanding of content, an increased understanding of expectations and how to meet them, and increased self-confidence regarding their ability to do mathematics.I am completing my final semester at the University of Illinois at Chicago to earn a Bachelor's of Science in Teaching of Mathematics at the secondary level. I will receive my licensure to teach mathematics in high school during the summer. I am certified to tutor Math, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1 and 2, English, and High School English.
I am a graduate of University of Illinois at Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Education. Since graduation, I have experienced many wonderful teaching and tutoring opportunities. Currently, I teach writing, grammar, British Literature, and Contemporary Literature at one of the oldest alternative high schools in the nation. I began teaching Survey of Literature and American Literature at the high school level ten years ago. I also taught British Literature and World Literature in a "No Child Left Behind" evening school program. My tutoring experiences throughout the years have been fun and interesting. In college, I was a part time tutor for our university's tutoring center, tutoring other college students and helping them with their language and writing skills. I have also participated in various after-school tutoring programs and standardized-test tutoring programs. Education is important to me, and it is important to always keep in mind the skill levels of every diverse learner I work with. After all, if students don't learn the way we teach, then we need to teach them the way they learn. I'm an extremely positive and enthusiastic person not only as an educator but as a person in general. In my spare time, I enjoy walking, cooking, throwing boomerangs, reading, and playing backgammon.
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.
I am an expert in SPSS software, including Statistics, Modeler and Amos. I worked at SPSS (later IBM) for 25 years as a technical support specialist, curriculum developer and a trainer. In my role as a trainer, I taught statistical analysis/research topics ranging from descriptive and inferential statistics to more advanced methods such as predictive modeling, machine learning, segmentation, structural equation modeling, and text analytics. I have also personally used SPSS software in my own research for over 40 years. For my Ph.D. dissertation, I used SPSS to analyze public opinion polls to identify the key drivers of why Americans voted the way they did in Presidential elections. I also used SPSS software to analyze election data for a number of papers I presented at conferences, including the Social Science Research History Association and American Historical Association conferences. In addition to being well versed in SPSS software and statistical analysis, am also a trained historian with experience teaching United States history at the University level. I have a Ph.D. in 20th Century Political History, with emphasis on the New Deal Era and Quantitative Methods in History. While at the University of Illinois, Chicago, I taught survey courses on the history of the United States, as well as some specialized courses including The History of the 1960s and The History of the United States during the New Deal-Fair Deal Era.
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.
I am a Chicago based CPA who has loved accounting since taking my first course at age fifteen. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago and now currently am working towards my Master's in Business Education. Tutoring accounting is something I find a lot of joy in, because the concepts are applicable to everyone's lives and can benefit the way we understand the language of business. College Accounting and CPA-AUD are my favorite subjects to work with students on.
Teaching is one of the most noble things a person can do, and it is one thing I have been doing for many years. Since arriving to Chicago in 2010, I have been active in assisting others in my community. I began tutoring children of various ages at the JHP community center, where I taught both academic and physical skills. More important than my teaching experiences, however, is my ability to touch other peoples lives. After starting college at IIT, I began to interact more with African immigrants, Latino students, and other groups. My experiences, conversations, and struggles with these individuals made me realize how racial and economic problems can affect school studies.One example was during my undergraduate studies when I noticed how the diverse student body, even international students, lacked knowledge about the scientific history of other cultures. I thus began working in the Math Club to promote events on Chinese, African, Arab mathematics. These initiatives were greatly appreciated by both staff and students.I thus learned the importance of personally connecting with others in order to better communicate with them. These were also the lessons I picked up while tutoring at-risk students at Pathways-In-Education. I also learned the need to work alongside teachers and other staff to ensure the organization could give the best possible support to each single student. This, combined with my years of assisting AP calculus teachers, has given me the ability to bond with both faculty and students, thereby creating a conductive learning environment for all people.I am thus confident I can help anyone excel in whatever field they need help in, particularly mathematics as it is one of my favorite subjects, as well the topic of my bachelor's degree.
Bonjour! Ca va? I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my bachelor's degree in Psychology and French. I studied and lived abroad in Southern France for four months and I lived in Paris while interning with the French government and social services system! I enjoy speaking and teaching French as well as math! While living abroad, I have learned a lot about their culture and have improved my accent as well!I tutor French and algebra. I love teaching these subjects because I find languages very useful in our lives. Without language, how would we communicate with one another? I love math as well because I love understanding the concept behind a problem and being able to use that to figure out the rest of the problems.I am passionate about helping students because I believe they are the future. Students have the greatest possibility and opportunity to make a change in themselves and the world. By gaining more knowledge, we an positively affect our environment and influence the people around us.During a mission trip, I taught second grader classes about the government, politics, commuit, and taxes to name a few. At the Junior Achievement facility, I taught fifth graders about entrepreneurship, workplace readiness, and financial literacy. Additionally, I was a math and science tutor everyday in high school. These experiences set a foundation to enable me to effectively teach students in different disciplines.
I am a medical student at Midwestern University starting in August 2017. I recently graduated Midwestern University with a Masters degree in Biomedical sciences.

I have worked with many different types of students ranging from middle schoolers, high schoolers and even some graduate level students. My philosophy behind tutoring is that everyone is capable of learning, however not all students learn the same way. Each student must have an educational plan tailored to their strengths and needs in order to truly be successful. I pride myself in being able to work with different age groups, because it allows me to approach each student from a different perspective. Based off my previous experiences, I have found one-on-one tutoring to be a quite joyful experience for me, because I truly love teaching and it does not get any better then helping a student overcome a complicated topic.
I am a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago Honors College, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering with a focus in cell and tissue engineering. During high school, I worked in the literacy center, where I tutored fellow classmates and helped them with any classes that they were having trouble with. I enjoy tutoring because I acknowledge the two-way nature of it. Not only does tutoring help a tutee learn certain material, it also helps me master some old concepts. While I tutor a variety of subjects, one of my favorites is mathematics. I love teaching this subject because its concrete and builds problem-solving skills. I think that education is one of the most important facets of life since it directly shapes our future. With this in mind, I attempt to teach my students to the best of my ability. During my free time, I enjoy biking, playing the violin, and watching sports.

My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and gain confidence with every session. Whether you're preparing for the MCAT, working through a science or math course, or just looking for extra support, I'm excited to help you reach your goals.
Since I began my elementary school teaching career, I have been passionately committed to inspiring students' interest in learning, maximizing individual student performance and growth, and empowering students' self-confidence and worth.My passion for teaching has taught me the value of patience, understanding, and flexibility. The students with whom I have worked have shown me that these qualities are necessary for having a healthy and successful relationship with them. I work very closely with each student. I consciously provide individualized support for academics as well as their personal nurturing and the praises they require for continued encouragement. I have provided effective classroom management, creative lesson plans, and have maintained proficient and distinguished ratings on evaluations.As an outstanding teacher, it is vital to stay connected and collaborate with all parties involved (e.g. clinicians, staff, and families) to ensure success for each student. I believe it is important to welcome assistance from families to encourage the success of each student, both inside and outside of the classroom.My philosophy begins with recognizing each child as an individual with special abilities and talents. It is my responsibility as an educator to create and adapt lessons and an environment that draw out and develop the student's abilities. I believe we are all lifelong learners and it is my desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

It is a very gratifying experience to watch and help a student who was formerly struggling with a subject turn into a very knowledgeable and adept student. I am a patient, skilled and experienced tutor; I specialize in taking difficult and complex subject matter and breaking it down into a much more easily understood version for my students.
I am a medical student who took time off between my 3rd and 4th year to conduct orthopedic research at NYU medical center. I love the medical field and would like to pursue a career in orthopedics. The aspect of medicine that I hold most dearly is always having interaction and hopefully having a change to leave a positive impression. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their story. If there is anything I can do to help them on their journey, it would be my pleasure. I grew up outside of Chicago, have travelled around the world, and snowboard as much as I can every winter. I've always been interested in medicine and that goal has always driven me to try my hardest and be all that I can be, not only in school, but in every aspect of life. That's my story, but I want to hear yours. Let me help you reach your goals.
I am a physician assistant with a passion for helping people, especially kids. As somebody that struggled with various subjects throughout my academic career, yet still was able to obtain a master's degree, I believe that I can impart skills and techniques that I wish I had.
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago working toward a dual degree in french and biological sciences. I am pre-vet, so I love animals and pets! I have been studying the french language and culture for several years now and I absolutely adore it!I am a firm believer in the fact that understanding the culture is just as important as the language itself. Also, practice really does make perfect! Everyone learns differently, so my goal is to help you figure out how you learn best so that we can use it!I also have a strong science background which includes chemistry, biology, and math.
