Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Des Plaines, IL

Hi, nice to meet you. I graduated with a bioengineering degree at U of I, but my passion was always in instruction. So switched my career path, I'm currently working as a science teacher. I can assist you in biology, chemistry, physics, and in some areas of math. I can help you with your homework, studying for quizzes/ tests, or even preparing for high stakes exams like an AP test or SAT/ACT.

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...

...class, little focus was placed 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...

...little, I've had a passion for learning and understanding how the world works through the enlightening lenses of the sciences. I believe that in order to build a solid base of knowledge, an intuitive feel for analytical 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...

Hey there! My name is Zach, and I'm looking forward to helping students develop their skills in whatever way I can. I studied mathematics at Purdue University, and I have a passion for this subject and sharing it with others. I am also comfortable helping students prepare for the ACT. I look forward to meeting you and hope to begin to take some positive steps together!

...from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (go Chiefs!) in 2016 where I studied English and Biology. I'm currently applying to graduate school. And I went to high school at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. I try not to lecture! Instead, I give a quick overview of a topic, work on specific material, and teach as we encounter new things! I always stop for a question. And I ask a lot of leading questions myself,...

...I want to help people. My major is Biomedical Engineering with a Sports Medicine Minor. I excel at math and science, plus my experience with theater and entrepreneurial projects makes me an excellent presenter. I helped raise my four younger siblings and have worked as a counselor multiple times. Plus, some of my friends at college needed a bit of help, and I was happy to if they asked. I want to help your child...

...graduating, I've been at the forefront of medicine by performing cancer research at Luire Childrens Hospital. In the fall of 2023, I will be attending allopathic medical school location to be determined. Currently, I have 9 offers. As for my tutoring career, I've been with VT for 5+ years now and tutor the stem disciplines. Chemistry, organic chem, biochem, and MCAT chemistry are my strengths. I also tutor calc 1,2, and 3, algebra, pre calc,...

...topic. I like to focus on finding ways to make sure the student UNDERSTANDS the topic rather than simply learning to memorize the facts. I find that they are always able to retain the knowledge more that way. I especially focus on teaching students to focus on reaching their long term goals in addition to just learning the material needed at the moment. I graduated from Purdue University with a BSEE degree and have worked at...

...the past, I have assisted my younger sibling in learning math, and often helped my peers during group assignments. While I specialized in teaching mathematics, I can tutor most high school level subjects, especially those related to the SAT or ACT. My teaching style will be adapted to an individual student's needs. For example, with a kinesthetic learner, I would have have them do practice problems, assisting with explanations as needed. When I'm not tutoring,...

...at the University of Illinois at Chicago majoring in Neuroscience. I have four years of tutoring experience, and as a student myself, I connect well with other students to understand how they learn and develop the best plan of action. I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching, so I dedicate time and effort behind each student and I try to teach them how to teach themselves as well.

...world to me is helping other people reach their dreams by conquering barriers like testing that stand in their way. I believe that the process of learning precedes the end goals-- that means that I focus on teaching students how to learn and to autonomize problem solving skills and processes they can apply to all problems rather than just helping them get the answer they need on a specific problem. This is the approach that...

...in Biology. I will attend the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry in the fall. During my undergraduate years, I have tutored students in math (up to Trigonometry), writing, biology and chemistry and I absolutely enjoyed it! I feel great to be able to teach someone shortcuts to solve difficult problems and understand difficult concepts. I tutor the DAT (Dental Admissions Test) and especially enjoy the perceptual ability section of the exam. I...
