Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Des Plaines, IL

...engineering. I spent two and a half years there completing my Masters of Science. To pay tuition, I worked as a Teaching Assistant and later a Teaching Associate for the University. Additionally, during High School and college, I spent many summers working as a Sailing Instructor. My last year I was Head Instructor at Rockland Community Sailing. This was especially rewarding for me, because this particular community sail program welcomed children of Youthlinks, a part...

...studying Electrical Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology. I thoroughly enjoy studying and teaching all things STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and music, and find that I am especially good at guiding students through some of the tougher conceptual work that goes into understanding topics in these fields. If you feel like you don't understand what the point of studying a certain subject is, why it matters, or just can't seem to grasp the...

My mission here is to not just teach but empower and motivate students to reach their full potential. I took a plethora of STEM courses in college and understand that the assistance of others in these courses is essential to becoming successful throughout ones academic career. My main strengths are Mathematics, Physics and Economics

...models to find out the relationship between variables under different conditions! Tutoring for me is as much about grounding the material in useful topics as it about explaining the mechanics that underlie the material. Sure you could memorize all the formulas in the world for that trigonometry test, or you can learn what those sin() and cos() symbols really mean and derive the formulas on the fly! Contact me if you want to engage with...

I'm a grad student at DePaul University, finishing my Masters in Physics. I did my undergrad at Loyola University Chicago where I received a degree in biophysics. I'm working towards applying to medical school. I love science and math, and have been tutoring for the past 7 years in math, science and English writing. I'm always excited to help and pass along the knowledge I've gained throughout my schooling to those in need of tutoring.

To foster a positive learning environment conducive to promoting conceptual understanding and strengthening problem solving skills across all levels of mathematics. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering. I was on the College of Engineering dean's list twice (top 20% of students) and was an active member of Illini Solar Car, Women In Electrical and Computer Engineering, and IEEE

...would apply in the real world. Academic skills are imperative for students as they transition from high school to college, so in addition to an understanding of the material, I teach students soft skills such as time management, self-teaching, and discipline. I first became interested in tutoring during study sessions with my fellow peers. The coursework of a premedical student can be very challenging and I found I had a particular aptitude for breaking down...

...bring volunteering opportunities to students at Brandeis, as well as providing services to underserved countries internationally. In addition, I am also a part of General Tutoring in which I voluntarily tutor a high school sophomore every week in mathematics. Although I am comfortable in tutoring a variety of subjects, I am most interested in Mathematics and Science. From my experience in teaching, I have found that the most successful method for a student's success is...

...Law. Although I am still attending school, my passion to help others has only grown as I've been in college. I'm currently a double major working towards a B.S. in Healthcare Management and Legal Studies. These majors have helped me strengthened my reading and writing skills while allowing me to further my education in political science, business, and math classes. Because of this, I am comfortable in educating others in math subjects, political science, accounting,...

...each day for 3 years as a volunteer high school math and science tutor in our school's academic resource center. I also tutored professionally outside of school for multiple high school students. I'm an active user on the online Stack Exchange network, answering math and computer science questions for free. When I'm not tutoring or learning new concepts myself, you can find me playing fetch with my dog (a huge, fluffy, Golden Retriever), playing tennis...

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.

...people from different parts of the world my mother tone, and to learn about Chinese culture through the language. I prefer to tutor in a casual and fun environment. I like to interact with the students. Most importantly, I encourage them to ask me a lot of questions. The more questions they have, the better they will master. I am easy to get along with, and I like to make new friends. I am a...

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...

...am a Senior at Vanderbilt University, with a major in Engineering Science and a minor in Engineering Management. Over the past few years, I've worked with students from Kindergarten through 8th grade on STEM courses. I have additionally worked as a TA for a junior/senior high school physics class. I have always been very passionate about STEM courses and would love to pass this along to other students on their way to high school and...

...left behind. However, since I was at the top of the 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...

...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 before working step-by-step through its practical applications so that the student can properly understand and internalize the material. In my spare...

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!

...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, like, "What if it were like this instead?" I've found that writing down everything we go over and reviewing it at...
