Carefully selected, highly-credentialed ACT Math tutors in Elmhurst, IL
"I've been tutoring in some way or another for almost ten years! I started working with junior high kids in a music/academic summer camp while I was in high school. While I was studying writing at Illinois Wesleyan University, I volunteered as a tutor in elementary schools, junior highs, high schools, and preschools. I've done a lot of work with bilingual (native Spanish-speaking)students.
For the past 3 years, I've worked in the educational publishing industry -- in other words, I write text books."

"As a tutor, I have a calm and steady personality. I've found that this demeanor is great for teaching. By combining it with a sense of humor, my students are able to grasp what's so great about words: they're the backbone of stories.
Whatever is needed, be it micro (grammar or mechanics), macro (essay editing and creative writing), or test prep, I can help students of any age become better readers, writers, and test-takers."

"I have previously worked as a swim instructor and as a private tutor for a few years. I am organized, detailed, and comfortable working with any type of students- including students with disabilites. I self-studied for ACT, and my composite score was in the 99th percentile. I will share with students many tips and strategies that will not only help them save time on the test day, but also ultimately improve their scores. My goal as a tutor is to make sure that students understand the fundamental concepts, and that they apply them to other similar questions that will be on the tests." ...

"I've tutored students ranging from elementary school students (think spelling) to college students (inorganic chemistry). From my experience, I know there are many ways to getting the right answer. But I think understanding and connecting ideas is more sustainable than "getting it right" one time. I think it’s important to empower students so they can become enthusiastic independent learners."

"I have tutored for many years and I have found that students may learn in different ways and all can excel at math. I like to present material in an engaging and relevant manner so that we can all learn and achieve success.
One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique for explaining and modeling math and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work.
