"I am a philosophy of religions M.A. student at the University of Chicago, and I've been living in the Chicago area for about five years. I work with students for both ACT prep and academic support.
As a philosopher, I spend a lot of time breaking down complex ideas into simple, digestible parts; I'm pretty good at it, and I think it makes me a better tutor. I've worked with the whole spectrum of students, from sixth graders through college seniors, including students with disabilities."

"Hi! As an undergraduate student I studied psychology and health at Illinois Wesleyan University. I then continued on to Syracuse University where I completed my Master's in international relations.

I also helped coach a state-qualifying high-school girls cross-country team." ...

"Hi,
I am a recent graduate of Pomona College, in Southern California, who just moved to Chicago. I have extensive experience tutoring and working with youth in general.

It may sound trite, but I deeply enjoy the intellectual and interpersonal challenge of the teaching experience."

"I love mathematics, poetry, music, and writing. I also love to teach; when I teach, I have the opportunity to share what I love with someone else! Students who work with me experience someone passionate about the material. This passion means knowing the material well and, most important of all, caring about the student and putting their needs and feelings first. Mathematics and writing are two skills needed more and more, as the world becomes more technologically advanced, and as the economy demands more creativity and self-expression." ...

"My main motivation for tutoring is seeing that "a-ha!" moment when a student finally understands a concept with which he or she has been struggling. There is nothing more satisfying! One of my greatest strengths is being able to work with all different kinds of people, and I tailor my approach to each specific case. I look forward to working with you and seeing you reach those "a-ha!" moments!."

"I'm a recent transplant to Chicago, and I'm excited to explore the midwest! I'm heavily immersed in the sciences and stay pretty busy in a bacterial genetics lab whenever I'm not tutoring. Science is a full-time lifestyle for me, so I've had my share of exploring as well as tutoring chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and physics up to the undergraduate level. I majored in chemistry and general/statistical mathematics, and am capable of teaching up to abstraction subjects in the latter. I have also studied literature, specifically post-modern American, British Renaissance, and poetry throughout my IB high school and college years." ...
