Award-Winning AP Chemistry Tutors serving Naperville, IL

...interested in pursuing clinical trials as a way to further medical research while remaining involved in patient care. I work with an expert on schizophrenia to map the epigenetics involved in schizophrenia onset. The application of Dr. William Walsh's research, using nutrients like zinc, SAMe, or vitamins to improve mental illnesses is inspiring. I enjoy being able to improve the lives of people, and I like medical research because it enables me to help more...

...Chicago with degrees in chemical engineering and math and computer science. After a summer of relaxing, I am planning on entering medical school at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the fall. Throughout high school and college, I have fallen in love with tutoring and seeing so many new faces in the process. I especially love to tutor in math, chemistry, MCAT, and chemical engineering topics, and have experience tutoring students of all...

...other hobbies include baking, playing tennis, writing poetry, and watching Star Trek reruns. I'm also involved in various cultural and human rights organizations at college. In any remaining spare time, I can usually be found reading the news on actual physical newspapers. Regarding my tutoring philosophy: as a tutor, I believe that the most important way to help my students understand their material better is by simply being there for them every step of the...

I am from Chicago Illinois. Currently a first year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. I started to tutor from my sophomore year of college and I love it! I find it beautiful how the student and I both grow from learning. Learning should be a fun and interactive experience. I hope to help all those who seek it in the most interactive way :) Let's get started and crush this!

...philosophy revolves around the Socratic method: namely, I try to help the student discover the subject for themselves versus me simply giving them the answers. I believe that (guided) personal discovery leads not only to greater understanding, but greater knowledge retention as well. Additionally, as someone who played Division III basketball in college, I have also been doing private basketball lessons where many of the same concepts, albeit in a different context, of tutoring school...

...for my students and learned to tutor them on complex topics ranging from evolution to sickle cell disease in a way that resonates best with their diversity of learning styles. I have come to believe in a tutoring style that prioritizes establishing a sound conceptual foundation that a student can later extend into more advanced content and novel applications. I also believe that challenging students to think beyond the content presented is crucial for the...

...my school's Speech and Acting Team, particularly in Prose Reading, Dramatic Duet Acting, and Oratorical Declamation (for those of you familiar with those events)! I'm not a total athlete but I love badminton and played on my high school's team for three years, and also play on the club team at UIC. Other random facts about me are that I was in my senior year spring musical, can play piano, can knit, and love to...

...Austrian family and French from my travels. I'm currently teaching myself Russian with the online learning software Duolingo. Chemistry has always been my favorite of the three core sciences, as it's more concretely observable than much of modern physics, but more connected to underlying physical principles than biology. My approach to teaching chemistry is to always keep in mind its connection to the other sciences, which can facilitate a better grasp on many chemical concepts....

...my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar,...

Since helping my peers in both high school and college I learned that I have both a passion and talent for imparting knowledge upon others. I am very excited for the opportunity in helping students achieve their potential. I have found that teaching is very rewarding for myself as well as my students. It helps cement my knowledge of the material and sometimes I can...

Hello, My name is Richesh Guragain. I completed my undergraduate from George Mason University in Biology and currently teaching biology and science classes. I am currently enrolled in medical school and finishing my fourth year.

...my passion allows me to shed light on the subject in a different way that relates to students' life. I was a student athlete pretty much my entire life playing football, basketball, baseball or more extravagant surfing, rock climbing, snorkeling, attempting a triathlon. I know that we need an escape sometime from the books so I tend to gravitate to my guitar or the kitchen where cooking and listening to music is refreshing. Like I...

...the GRE quantitative exam. In addition to tutoring mathematics at all levels, I enjoy tutoring grammar and mechanics, and editing essays. I received the Carlos C. Rojas Excellence in Writing Award from Emory University, and have served on the editorial board for Emory University's undergraduate research journal, as well as have authored peer-reviewed manuscripts at Northwestern University. I have lectured to undergraduate students at Northwestern University in cell biology, and have taught English as a...

...undergraduate, my primary focus of study was in neurobiology. I have a confident grasp of introductory and intermediate biochemistry, organic chemistry, genetics, and microbiology. Additionally, I am proficient in undergraduate general and cognitive psychology. Currently, I am available to tutor college students in select biology and psychology courses. Additionally, I will be available to high school students preparing to take the ACT. I am confident that together, we can improve your academic performance!

...skills enable me to work with students and effectively improve their knowledge and understanding of the material they may struggle with. I received my B.S. from Emory University in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology along with teaching experience in biology and human health. I feel my energy along with background in life sciences and teaching can offer any student seeking help the best possible assistance with their course material. In my free time I enjoy being...

...tutor for multiple tests such as the ACT, SAT, and the NREMT along with multiple AP exams. I find tutoring history and geography to be the most fun. This is mainly because I think most teachers and tutors in this area are quite boring and my approach to these subjects is very different. Nearly everything in the world can be broken down into something smaller, both literally and figuratively. There is no such thing as...

I'm a current undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm studying biology, hopefully with an additional minor in either chemistry or psychology (maybe even both who knows?). I really like helping others to the best of my ability, best of which being academics in the math and sciences realm.

I have a passion for learning and for helping others to learn! Started teaching undergrad courses in 1991...began tutoring in 1999 and received a tutoring award from the University of Pennsylvania. I like to make hard subjects clear and easy to handle!... Usually it's part "get to know you." But then I ask them what is bothering them the most, and we start there. If we have to back up to review things, no problem; I...

...multiple years throughout college and I've enjoyed each of my experiences thoroughly. I really believe in making students understand the concepts and being able to understand why something is the way that it is, rather than just loading students with overwhelming information to memorize. I'm a pre-medical student doing a gap year before medical school so I'm in the process of applying to medical school right now! I'm extremely interested in the health field and...
