I enjoy tutoring students because of the individualized lesson plans that I can design in the one-on-one setting that tutoring provides. I try to incorporate hands-on games and activities into my tutoring whenever appropriate, as I feel it keeps motivation levels high."

"I'm new to Chicago, and I'm really enjoying getting to know the city! My teaching experience began during my Peace Corps service in Nicaragua. I was a Small Business Development volunteer, and taught Entrepreneurship and Life Skills courses to high school students. Each year, the students form small groups, create their own businesses and participate in competitions on a local, regional, and national level. One of the things I enjoyed most was meeting with these groups of students outside of the classroom to work on their business plans, practice their presentations, and help them work through any challenges and feel confident about ...

"Originally from New York, I went to a Montessori School through the 6th grade, when I transferred to the Brearley School, an all-girls school in Manhattan. I love to act, sing, make mixed CDs for friends, play with animals, read, write, and watch good movies. I have tutored independently for the past couple years; my teaching experiences include tutoring an eight-grade boy with Asperger's in reading and math, and a 9th grade girl in essay writing and editing. Most recently, I tutored two brothers, in the 4th and 5th grade respectively, in math." ...

"I've always made time to teach others, whether through informal teaching sessions with underclassmen or formal lectures on anatomy and physiology. I've performed well on multiple standardized tests, including the MCAT and USMLE Step 1 and 2ck, and I would like to share my strategies to help more students succeed. I believe that hard work and determination can lead to great outcomes, but some students also need to learn how to study. Many test-takers get bogged down in the details and try to memorize every little factoid, making complex subjects unmanageable." ...
