A photo of Andrea who is one of our Chicago Elementary Math tutors
" Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of being a teacher. I would play "school" with my little brother by helping him read, write, and complete his math homework. I decided to do the very best for myself by attending one of the nation's top schools for teacher preparation, Michigan State University. Through my schooling, I have learned an incredible amount regarding children, the way they learn, different methods for teaching, and strategies for helping young ones achieve. Outside of the college classroom, I have learned even more about how to work with children by getting to know students one on one." ...

A photo of Teresa who is one of our Chicago Elementary Math tutors
"I am an experienced teacher and educational researcher with a deep-rooted passion for ensuring that ALL students are prepared for bright and successful futures. I believe that every student can succeed. Success in school is not a matter of innate talent but rather a matter of true effort. It can be difficult for students to feel motivated if they have experienced "failures" or consistently run into obstacles they do not feel equipped to overcome. That's where I find it critical to provide opportunities for students to experience success through small steps." ...

A photo of Elise who is one of our Chicago Elementary Math tutors
"I am currently pursuing a Master's of Education in math at Northwestern University, but my passion for learning and education long precedes my formal degree. Prior to returning to school, I worked in management consulting, where I often needed to explain complex quantitative analysis to clients unfamiliar with the math; this helped me develop the ability to understand and explain various approaches to quantitative concepts, which in turn enables me to identify and address causes of confusion. I love working with students in a one-on-one setting that allows me to adapt my explanations to fit a student's individual needs.." ...

A photo of Lewis who is one of our Chicago Elementary Math tutors
"As a tutor and teacher, it is always my goal to present material as clearly as possible and, whenever possible, have students think out for themselves what the problem at hand is and what possible solutions are. I have worked with a wide variety of students including children and adults, native and nonnative speakers, with various goals for improving their English language abilities, foreign language, math skills and other challenges. I hope students find me approachable and that I will work hard to help them get through any obstacles in the topic they choose to have me teach or tutor them. I certainly can put myself in the place of others, ...

A photo of Ivy who is one of our Chicago Elementary Math tutors
"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."
