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...

...first realized I enjoy teaching when I became preceptor for Anatomy in undergrad. I find it to be incredibly rewarding. As I am continuing my education, tutoring is an enjoyable way for me to give back to the academic community and help other students achieve their goals! I thoroughly enjoyed learning anatomy in both undergrad and PT school, and it is definitely a strong suit of mine. I have accumulated lots of helpful learning diagrams...

...true interest in the material and a desire to do well, and I have always been good at instilling my academic curiosity in others.

Call me an idealist, but I think learning should be fun! Though I keep the tone of my sessions light, I do...

...scientific principles and have developed the intuition needed for nuanced and creative approaches to novel problems. I believe I can assist students with developing a similar intuition and empower them to approach scientific problems from new perspectives that complement their own. Despite my scientific background, I am enamored by both creative and argumentative writing. I have a firm grasp of the English language and understand how to read between the lines of text. The liberal...

I am very passionate about tutoring and look forward to meeting new students with a desire to learn!... To not focus as much on the grade, but rather to focus on learning and mastery of the content for the student.... After introductions I would immediately give practice problems. That way I can visualize what the student's thought process is, and correct errors wherever they may be.... By giving worksheets and more practice problems. Problems are the...

...I have enjoyed growing as a teacher and leader. I particularly enjoy "the game" of standardized tests, so I gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students. I have an avid curiosity; I told my college playwriting professor that I wish I could experience everything there is in the world. She told me to start a podcast where...

...my main goal is to make sure the student feels comfortable with whatever problem they have to tackle. In every subject, there are generally multiple ways to solve problems, and I like to challenge the student to know each way to fully understand and master the concept. That way, the student is as prepared as he/she can be, and has a set of options to approach a problem. I am a firm believer that students...

Despite my professional focus on liberal arts, I also have a keen amateur interest in science, primarily in physics (A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking was my introduction) but also in chemistry,...

...to Israel for a year to work as a English teaching fellow in an elementary school. While there, my role was primarily to work with students on improving their English conversational skills, but I also ended up helping quite a few of them with math, in another language!

...chance to go to a symphony concert! During my undergraduate studies I tutored children grade 3 through 12 in various subject areas: math, science, English, writing. I worked both with students who needed additional help to comprehend a subject area, and with children who already excelled, but wished to push their grades to the maximum. I adjust my tutoring style to each student, but I always focus on understanding the main idea and purpose behind...

...I developed some great learning tactics that I want to pass on to you! The Game Plan: Since every student is different, I will spend some time getting to know you and your goals so that we can work effectively together. Think of me as your study buddy instead of your tutor! I study with my peers by talking through material while incorporating whiteboards and visual aids (pictures, flow charts, tables, graphs). By starting with...
