Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Des Plaines, IL

...guides our problem-solving. Rote memorization works in the short-term, but when it comes to middle-school math and beyond, it's much more important to understand the *why* element. Math and science just make so much more sense when we can see its application in everyday life, and my hope is to instill that mathematical awareness in my students. A bit of background about myself: I grew up in Skokie, Illinois (a suburb just North of Chicago),...

...a wonderful experience to see someone learn something new. Currently at my 2nd year of college, I am a full-time computer science major aiming for a masters degree. I came from Norway almost a year ago. I will teach any math classes that fall below Calculus 3. I also teach Python and C++. When I am not busy studying or going to school, I like doing all sorts of sports and activities. I naturally found...

...Working with others has also been a passion of mine for a very long time. During my time as an undergraduate student, I was involved on campus and served as the president of the Hillel on campus, an organization that serves the Jewish community. Additionally, as a pre-med student, I had many friends that I worked with. Whenever they were struggling, I was always more than happy to help them out so they could better...

I am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, working towards a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.

As a student who is truly passionate about Math and Science, I seek to help others understand Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, etc, so that their foundation in the sciences is strong enough to take on more complex topics. I believe in letting my teaching style be dynamic in order to teach different students successfully.... My philosophy is that I should teach my students how to reason, not how to use a formula. Truly understanding a concept better...

In my free time, I enjoy watching the Pittsburgh Penguins, playing ice hockey, reading about the latest scientific developments, and taking walks with my family's yellow lab, Elle.

...on my education after the second grade. As a result I had to teach myself. Through trial and error in my own self-education, I learned how to approach study through many facets. In the sixth grade I became the de facto instructor for several of my subjects, and by my tenure in college I was an instructor to my peers in title. I would be happy to share my knowledge of both content and study...

I'm a recent CS grad, having tutored high school- and college-aged students over the complete gamut of computer science topics from the basics of programming language constructs to computational analysis and finite automata. I find that CS is best taught by example, so my teaching methods will involve going through scaled-down examples by hand, and for programming problems, stepping through code line by line to understand how everything works.

...thinking is a must, and I hope to share this with my students, mainly through Physics and Mathematics. In my teaching style, I prefer to use a firm but gentle approach to learning, starting with a general principle before working step-by-step through its practical applications so that the student can properly understand and internalize the material. In my spare time, I greatly enjoy playing Super Smash Bros., listening to music, noodling on my guitar, and...

...I care about them! As for me personally, I attended Michigan State University on a National Merit Scholarship, where I studied Astronomy and Geology. After MSU, I joined the Air Force, where I served as a Fighter Pilot in the infamous F-4 Phantom. I traveled a lot, having visited all 50 states and several countries in Europe. I also completed my Master's Degree in Geochemistry, from MSU. When I left the Air Force, I went...
