I love helping other people achieve their goals and helping students find ways to be their best selves. Excited to meet and work with Chicagoland's students!... First sessions always start with discussion of a subject's foundations. If we nail these, the rest of the learning becomes ten times easier.... I'm big on listening. It's my job to hear what a...

...standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools. Tutoring for me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves in the future. When I...

...happy to help students with any other aspect of the application process. Given the substantial weight of the LSAT in the admissions process, however, I am particularly passionate about helping students master this test. I know from personal experience that the LSAT can be frustrating, but I will help students to break down each section and minimize the test's intimidation factor. With patience, repetition, and an understanding of how the test writers think, the LSAT...

...college, I worked for a local high school tutoring groups of students through the AVID system. At the same time, I also tutored an individual who was failing four out of his five core classes. In three classes he had less than a 40%, and was in danger of dropping out of school. After four weeks of tutoring, he was passing all his classes. He graduated on time the following year and now attends community...

I'm Noa Danesh, a sophomore at Hunter College majoring in English Literature and Philosophy. I'm incredibly passionate about all aspects of English, from analyzing poems to literary theory to grammar and syntax. I'm excited for the opportunity to tutor you in a conversation - you already know more about the text than you think you do, it's just a matter of knowing how to say tit!... You already know more about English literature and grammar than...

...and his or her teacher listening carefully. The teacher doesn't look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because...

...qualified to work with students on the writing and verbal sections of the SAT and editing their personal statements and college essays. As a high schooler, I was one of those students who LOVED standardized tests; I have always viewed them as an exciting way to measure progress and hone in on, not only academic skills, but also time management, organization, and maintaining a sense of personal calm. In fact, I love the entire college...

...at the University of Arizona. I received my B.S. degree in psychology with a minor in biology, with a focus on neuroscience and biomedical science from Northern Arizona University. As long as I can remember, I have had a love for teaching. In elementary school I would come home in the afternoon and 'play school' with my stuffed animals, creating and grading worksheets for them. Throughout school, I continued to take every opportunity to assist...

...to watch students develop their abilities, whether they are in primary school learning basic grammatical principles, in high school cultivating their voice for a college essay, or in college seeking to strengthen their philosophy paper or lab abstract. My tutoring style is highly collaborative. I do not want students to leave our sessions with only a stronger essay or answers to a few specific questions; rather, I want to equip them with the tools and...

I'm also a Senior Staff Writer for Columbia's student newspaper, the Daily Spectator, so I'm pretty much...

...teachers at the University of Chicago in my graduate education, and at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in my undergraduate education. I try to relate whatever subject I am tutoring to the real world. Learning is a lot easier and fun if students see the relevance to their lives.
