Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Trigonometry tutors in Naperville, IL
"Recognizing that hard work becomes easier with interest and engagement, I make the learning environment relaxed and enjoyable - and sometimes outright fun! I find tutoring to be incredibly rewarding, and strive to have my students view their work the same way, leaving them feeling more comfortable in their coursework, confident in their abilities, and excited for new challenges. For three years I worked as an ACT teacher and tutor, helping students raise their scores an average of 4 points, and as many as 9. Most recently, I worked with a struggling college senior (self-described as "bad at math") to achieve a score of 100% on her college ...

"As a tutor, I like to help students learn how to learn and study, not just pass tests. Since early high school, I have tutored both peers and younger students in a variety of subjects. I received my BA with Honors from Brown University in 2010, where I studied Spanish and Biology, and am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Northwestern University. My areas of expertise include: Spanish, math through Algebra 2, biology, chemistry, physics, English (writing, comprehension and college essay instruction), and test preparation for the GRE, ACT, and SAT." ...

"I have extensive experience tutoring and working with youth in general. I have tutored fourth- and fifth-graders in math and peer-edited countless peers' college essays; I have directed youth sports camps and provided support to severely emotionally disturbed high-schoolers. It may sound trite, but I deeply enjoy the intellectual and interpersonal challenge of the teaching experience. While I expect hard work from a student, I am patient above all and listen before I lecture."

" I have always enjoyed serving as a tutor to fellow students and peers. My tutoring experiences began in High School where I worked as a Writing Center Tutor for two years. In college, I worked closely with students as an Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant, aiding students on Organic Chemistry concepts and laboratory experiments. I have found my different tutoring positions to be very rewarding for both the students and for me.

" I served as an instructor for Kaplan Test Preparation and Admissions from 2002-07, leading over 25 separate full courses. In addition, I also taught courses in GRE, GMAT, SAT, and ACT preparation in addition to training new instructors as the co-lead teacher of the Kaplan center in Highland Park Illinois. In 2006 I was one of approximately 150 in the inaugural class of Chicago Teaching Fellows, a cohort of individuals who sought accelerated alternative teaching certification through a joint program between Chicago Public Schools and National Louis University. After an intensive summer workshop, I taught high school mathematics ...

"I've tutored at Penn State's Learning Center as well as students at home. My passion for education comes through in my teaching methods, as I believe that all students have the ability to learn a subject as long as it is presented to them in a way in which they are able to grasp. I use both analytical as well as graphical methods or a combination of the two as needed to cater to each student. Having both an Engineering and Architecture background, I am able to explain difficult concepts to either a left or right-brained student, verbally or with visual representations." ...

" As a private tutor, I would like to expose the full potential of a student by focusing on ways to approach problems.

" I am a college graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, where I majored in Biochemistry and minored in Chemistry. I went to the Illinois Math and Science Academy, which is a residential high school for gifted students. In order to attend one must take the SAT and apply to the school. There I gained a strong background in math and science, but also the humanities, while not thought of due to the name of the school, were also very strong. I am a very good standardized test taker, and know all of the tricks and tips that you need to get ahead." ...

"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. We will start with areas that students are having most difficulty with." ...

"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. What drives me? A curiosity for how people think."
