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

...my time as a student. I was accepted to graduate school at UCLA with a fellowship to further my study in 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...

...in Chicago, IL now 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...

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

...practical engineering. My skillset makes no sense, I can program in python, and plan and execute ELISA assays on frozen mouse tumors, and explain to you what nucleophile is! I am employed full-time with a GREAT job in science, but I'm looking to make extra money. I was a Tutor in college for a couple of years working with high school and college students on a large array of topics, I'm looking to put my...

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

...understanding of math, science and language. I believe that mastery of an academic subject comes from comprehending concepts as they 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...

...Biology and minoring in Hispanic Studies. I am also President of a Brandeis Volunteers Around the World, which aims to 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.

...to be a tutor. Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a Student TA at Saint Louis University for Introduction to 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...

...before I fall asleep, I think of new connections I can make between math, science, and the world around us. I believe to fully understand a concept, we must have a strong intuitive grasp, and this guides our problem-solving. Rote memorization works in the short-term, but when it comes to middle-school math and beyond, it's much more important to understand the *why* element. Math and science just make so much more sense when we can...

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.

...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 food lover. I enjoy trying and cooking different types of cuisines. During my free time, I like to read Japanese manga, one piece, and do puzzles on my own. Sometimes I practice the piano. When I hangout with friends, we...

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...

...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 college!

...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 of...

...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 before...

Hey there! My name is Zach, and I'm looking forward to helping students develop their skills in whatever way I can.

I look forward to meeting you and hope to begin to take some positive steps together!

...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, like,...
