Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Algebra tutors in Gleview, IL
" In graduate school I was a teaching assistant for an introductory Physics class for one semester. I led laboratories as well as a discussion period to go over homework questions.
Being a lifelong student of math and science, I think I have a strong understanding of students' frustrations with the subjects having experienced many of them myself at one point or another. I can provide a fresh perspective to students and help them view problems in different ways that teachers may not have the time to do. ."

"Additionally, I've spent over one year as a tutor at the tutoring center at Loyola University Chicago.
I enjoy tutoring one-on-one much more than group instructing. I find that my teaching style varies from student to student, however, I often employ the Socratic method, and I am still a believer in old school liberal arts methodologies, namely using your reasoning and wit to derive answers to almost all questions.."

" By the time I completed that experience, I was prepared and yearning to move on to greater things. I found such things at the University of Chicago, where I chose to study physics. That was not without it's challenges initially, however. Due to my weak academic background from high school, I spent my first year and summer at school catching up to the typical physics program, and had to spend extra time learning the advanced mathematical techniques needed to succeed in the program. Towards the end of my four years, I had a chance to explore other areas I was interested in, such as theater design, music theory, and fencing. When I finished my BA ...

"The best compliment a student gave me was "I feel much more confident speaking English now than when we started." That confidence will make the student a lifelong learner and will transcend into other subjects. I am also an experienced learner! I have a degree in biochemistry and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This means I am qualified to teach biology, chemistry, algebra, geometry, and Spanish. I am currently a nursing student at Loyola University Chicago, so anatomy and physiology are my current life.." ...

" Other than tutoring, my interests include hiking, reading, and following the Bulls. My previous experience includes tutoring other students in courses I had previously taken while in college. Presently, I volunteer at a home for at-risk teens and help with interview skills, developing resumes, and filling out applications. Also, I substitute teach at a Catholic middle school in the West Suburbs. When tutoring, I believe it's important to stress understanding the concepts that can lead to true subject mastery. Often, these are touched upon in the classroom, where there simply isn't enough time to digest the ideas fully." ...

"
My tutoring style is influenced by my background in philosophy. When I teach a math problem, I try to make sure my students understand not only how to solve the problem, but also how to explain the principles and the logic behind the solution. That way they can safely and confidently approach novel problems on their own.
Finally, I believe it is important to make learning as fun and as interactive as possible."

"
In the classroom and one-on-one, I'm informal, interesting, and lots of fun. I have a lot of experience translating science into English, and my hope is that all of my students walk away with the ability to apply what they learn to their lives.
Go forth and do science!."

" My past tutoring and teaching experiences include working with individual college students on English essay writing, Intro Micro- and Macroeconomics, and 4th-5th grade creative writing. I am now working full-time as a tutor/behavior coach with an 8th grade English class on the south side of Chicago. My main interests are English composition and English language/literature. Additionally, I very much enjoy working with students on introductory Economics and high school Mathematics. Finally, my experience working with City Year Chicago has given me a great deal of depth in remedial math, English (writing and reading), and social ...

" Counseling involves taking concepts that can be abstract or counter-intuitive, and making sure the client appropriately understands the concepts. My experiences working as a lawyer and equipment technician have taught me how to distill difficult concepts into much more understandable material. I then build on that material until the student has mastered the subject. I owe it to my students to be a master of the subject I am teaching and to be more than just adequately prepared for each lesson. I like to prepare much more material than I expect to cover, and I am thrilled when my student gets through more material than I expect." ...
