A photo of Dara who is one of our Chicago tutors
" Both of my parents taught high school social studies, so you might say teaching runs in the family! I believe that every student has the capability to achieve academically, but that, sometimes, traditional classroom instruction isn't quite enough to lead each student to his or her potential. Working one-on-one with a student allows me to target areas of weakness, while increasing his confidence in his ability to achieve. Standardized testing isn't particularly fun, but getting into the college of your dreams is, and conquering the SAT and/or the ACT is an important step in the process. Tutoring sessions don't have to be unpleasant or ...

" In 2010, I also worked as an instructional aide for grades K-3. I provided students with extra reading time daily, giving them different reading strategies and increasing their reading level. In 2011 until now, I am a 1st and 2nd grade general education teacher for a class of 24.."

A photo of Koga who is one of our Chicago tutors
" For the past two years I taught mathematics at the middle and high school level as a Teach For America corp member in the Dallas Independent School District. I know that the confidence that a student receives when they finally understand a concept that has alluded them is powerful enough to positively impact them in all arenas of their life, not just in school. Confidence in your own ability is a powerful thing! I am excited to be part of the Varsity Tutors program and to continue teaching and inspiring through education!."

A photo of Hannah  who is one of our Chicago tutors
"I tutor multiple levels of math, ACT and SAT prep in Math and English, and Spanish. My philosophy as a tutor is that students know more than they think they do. I like to guide my students through solving problems by using their prior knowledge and experience, and asking questions so that they can participate as much as I do. My favorite thing about tutoring is getting to know my students on an individual basis, and figuring out how they learn best."

A photo of Jacqueline who is one of our Chicago tutors
"While living in California, I often taught middle and high school students as a volunteer tutor for 826 Valencia, a literacy and writing organization. I especially love teaching history and writing. I think the most fun ways to teach and to learn involve working directly with primary source materials and linking the work we're doing to the world we live in. You'll never ask why you need to know something--or if you do, we'll work together to figure out why it's important."

A photo of Anthony who is one of our Chicago tutors
"My primary objective is to get students from a basic understanding of the material to a level where they can independently think and apply the material in practical situations or to problem solve. This is one of the greatest goals and benefits of the educational experience. I strive to help student make connections between concepts and realize that concepts are interwoven and build off of each other and I am not afraid to challenge students. My objective is to build a rapport with students. I gain their confidence and trust by letting them know that I am human also." ...

" This passion means knowing the material well and, most important of all, caring about the student and putting their needs and feelings first. Mathematics and writing are two skills needed more and more, as the world becomes more technologically advanced, and as the economy demands more creativity and self-expression. It is my pleasure to help students prepare!."

A photo of Paul who is one of our Chicago tutors
"But learning about the logical doesn't always come across as logical. That's where I can help fill the void and facilitate the learning process, making what may seem like a daunting task much more manageable and conquerable. Quite frankly, the LSAT is a test that everyone could score perfectly on, given an extra five minutes per section (which no matter how hard you may wish for while taking the test will never happen, sadly enough). The key is building practical strategies that allow the test taker to efficiently manage time all while excelling in Logical Reasoning, Logic Games, and Reading Comprehension. Aside from tutoring the LSAT, I ...
