"I am a recent graduate in Chemistry and Secondary education, and a certified Chemistry teacher. I specialize in tutoring High School and Organic Chemistry, though I also tutor in math up to geometry. When I teach and tutor, I try to get my students to go beyond the "plug and chug", memorize-how-to-get-the-answer mode and help them gain a deeper understanding of the systems they are using. When they learn the basic framework of something, be it atomic structure or algebra, and then learn how everything else flows logically from it, students retain information better and can make use of it in new situations. In the classroom and one-on-one, ...

"Hi, my name is Joseph, I'm a Biostatistics grad student at Loyola, and I'll gladly help with your Math needs. I have experience teaching everything from elementary through high school level Math. I'm patient, easy-going, and I enjoy guiding students through concepts to make them easy to understand. Many times, I've encountered students who are convinced that they're no good in Math, and they fall behind in class as a result.

It takes the personal attention of a tutor to find out what that missing knowledge is, and with guided practice, my ...

"My teaching experience ranges from mentoring children ages 3-5 years old in developing their language and literacy skills, to tutoring college students who are tackling tough chemistry topics, and all ages in between. Not every student learns the same way, so I introduce material in different ways until it becomes relatable to the student. Enthusiasm and encouragement are important in order to keep students engaged and interested, and these are the tools I use to teach subjects that are often seen as difficult and frustrating to understand.." ...

" 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." ...
