Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Chicago, IL

Academics and academia are my passions and it is a goal of mine to extend this passion to as many people as possible.

I am a seasoned tutor with over 5+ years of experience working with middle-school, high-school, and undergraduate college students on a multitude of subjects, as well as coaching potential applicants through the college search process.

...practical application of the theory. Over time, I've found some students to best learning the "why" a method works before trying to apply a method; others do best seeing material in the opposite order preferring to see how a theory is applied before learning the general theory. When tutoring, I try to observe which method of learning best suits a particular student and adapt the lesson to their learning style. No matter which type of...

I am a freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder majoring in astrophysics and chemistry with a 4.00 GPA. I have been passionate about science and STEM topics my whole life, focusing on them in both high school and college classes. In my free time, you can usually find me exploring forest preserves by day and surveying the skies with my telescope by night.

...passionate about helping students grasp complex concepts in calculus and physics. While my formal tutoring experience is limited, I have effectively supported classmates through challenging material, honing my ability to explain intricate topics like thermodynamics and quantum mechanics clearly and patiently. I believe in a student-centered approach, adapting my lessons to fit each learner's pace and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident in their understanding. My goal is to create a thorough and engaging...

...my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry. In my free time, I like to bake, read, watch Netflix, and go hiking (especially with my dog). My specific teaching approach depends on the subject, but I like to really engage my students in that subject. When it comes to languages, that could mean watching or listening to media in that language or finding a fun book to read. In science or math, that could be running examples, either...

Graduated from Northwestern University with a Major in Biological Sciences and a concentration in Biochemistry and Biophysics. Tutored Advanced Undergraduate Organic Chemistry throughout college. Years of experience tutoring Math, various Sciences, and Spanish from elementary through High School. I believe in approaching problems from multiple angles, understanding the processes, and using real world examples to comprehend complex material. Will attend Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine in the Fall.

I'm a third year at Northwestern studying Physics. I really care about communicating in a precise and clear way. I will constantly gauge your understanding of the material with problems and by asking you to explain your understandings. I will try to emphasize important understandings and habits necessary for long term success and enjoyment.

...with them. Moving away from the swimming environment, I started to tutor students for math and science. I quickly realized that I enjoyed teaching in this environment as well, particularly because I enjoy math and science and their relevance to my everyday life. This projected my teaching philosophy by giving students connections to their studies. I believe these connections are the best way to improve your attitude towards learning and understanding of any subject area....

...addition to working with Varsity Tutors, I volunteer with Math Mentors teaching 3rd graders at a public school in Tulsa during the school year. I can help you with a lot of subjects, but SAT prep and AP/college physics and calculus are my best areas. My teaching method is flexible, but I default to learn-by-doing, first having you narrate your work on an example, then talking through the concepts you might have struggled on until...

...mathematics and science. It's so wonderful to be with a student when all of a sudden a complex problem clicks for them. My undergraduate degree is in secondary biological sciences. My graduate degree is in secondary mathematics education. I've homeschooled, taught thousands of students from countries all around the world, and am currently teaching at a college-preparatory school. I excel in working with middle school and high school students. I look forward to working with...

...schools my whole life, I believe in the power of small group/individual interactions for learning. While memorization is important for certain things, I always appreciated understanding the "why" and "how" in school and I try to help my students achieve that level of understanding as well. I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for their classes in the future, though I am certainly happy to explain things...

As a passionate Researcher Engineer and science enthusiast, I am excited to bring the wonders of physics, mathematics, aerospace and science to students. With more than 15 years of experience in solid background in cutting-edge technology and a love for all things STEM, My teaching approach is focused on making complex ideas easy to understand and exciting to explore, inspiring students to pursue their passion for science and engineering.

...students in grades 6 through 12. I have five years of experience as a one-on-one tutor of math and physics for grades 6 -12, AP, ACT and SAT. I obtained a bachelor's degree in engineering and another bachelor's degree in education in the United Kingdom. I have lived for many years in the USA where I obtained my master's degree in special education. My subjects are math, physics, general science, and special education. I particularly...

I am a mechanical engineering grad and current law student passionate about helping those interested in the STEM field

I'm a college-bound high school graduate soon to pursue a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. I have a special love of Mathematics and love to help people love what they learn.

I'm a sophomore at Harvard studying Applied Math, Economics, and Computer Science. I've tutored in a variety of subjects throughout high school and currently work part-time as a Course Assistant for an Introductory Calculus course at Harvard. I especially love tutoring math and making it a more accessible subject for students to learn. Aside from academics, I'm passionate about community service (I'm a director for a student-run homeless shelter!), music, digital design, and baking!

...currently work at Downers Grove High School as a paraprofessional in the Special Services Department. I strive to make sure that every student has the opportunity to succeed, and I understand that the path to success varies from person to person. In addition to my background in foreign languages, I really enjoyed all of my math courses, and a major part of my job at DGS is helping students with their math of all levels.

...introductory levels of biology, chemistry, and physics while focusing on Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. The combination of my 2 experiences have proven to be a catalyst for my tutoring career. I am most passionate about Math and Science, specifically focusing on Calculus 1 and 2 (AB and BC) as well as Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. In terms of the sciences, I have had significant success in high school and advanced placement level Biology,...

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.
