Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Chicago, IL

I am an independent artist and filmmaker currently residing in Chicago. I've been tutoring students in test preparation, writing, and math for a little over five years and love every part of it! I make sure to design my teaching methods with the specific needs of each student in mind. My top priority is the success of my students. I am very friendly and also push my students to challenge themselves.

...I had to take a hiatus from tutoring to focus on school. During the previous semester, my roommate had introduced me to Varsity Tutors. I was curious but I had to wait until a point in my life where I could handle the commitment. Starting this new year, I will be working in Fermi National Laboratory in a Co-op position and this provides me the perfect opportunity to revitalize my tutoring career/hobby. I have always...

I am an undergraduate student studying molecular biology and bioengineering. I have always enjoyed teaching others and have been tutoring for 4 years. I recognize that every student learns differently so I emphasize individualized lesson plans. I am excited at the possibility of sharing my knowledge and tips in math, science, reading, writing, the SAT, college essays, and more!

...for a student to understand. Sometimes this means that I introduce logical proofs for why we do certain operations. I set an example that the students and I can walk through, and then I allow some time for students to work on problems individually as I standby for any questions. Aside from engineering work, and outside of my job, I love to make music along with physical activities like rock-climbing, boxing, and cycling

...athletics has taught me discipline, time management, and resilience qualities I bring into every tutoring session. I began tutoring after years of helping classmates and friends in school, always motivated by the moment when something finally clicks. That spark of understanding is incredibly rewarding and continues to drive my passion for working with students. While I tutor various subjects, I specialize in math, finance, and economics, and I particularly enjoy helping students with problem-solving and...

...also enjoy various other activities such as playing soccer and volleyball, cooking and baking, studying, and much more. Through out the years I grew to love tutoring also. I started tutoring ever since my freshman year of High School. I would tutor fellow classmates in subjects such as algebra, physics, calculus 1, and chemistry. I later was fortunate enough to obtain a Supplemental Instructor position at my university's math department. I attended Concordia University Chicago...

...students master their course content and ultimately be successful in their coursework while enjoying the learning process; beyond that, I emphasize to my students the importance of the critical thinking and logical reasoning skills obtained from the study of mathematics, as well as the many applications of math and the inherent beauty of the subject. I strongly believe that education is crucial in order for society to advance, which is a large part of why...

I'm passionate about equitable access to education, and am currently working as an Americorps VISTA for a nonprofit devoted to environmental...

...hanging out with my friends. I specialize in mathematics because I like puzzles and learning about how I can apply math to the real world. All of these activities are part of what I like to bring to tutoring sessions because they all incorporate learning and especially how it can be fun. Be it a hobby, assignment, personal interest or goal you might have we do as humans want to learn new things. Studying and...

...others build confidence in problem-solving and logical thinking. I enjoy breaking down complex math concepts into clear, approachable steps and watching students grow more confident as they begin to understand material that once felt intimidating. I tutor math at a variety of levels and especially enjoy helping students connect mathematical concepts to real-world applications. Architecture has taught me how numbers, patterns, and logic work together to create structure and clarityan insight I bring into every...

Recent grad out of Texas A&M (Dec 2017) with BS Economics. Math and Economics classes are my strongsuit and have taken chemistry classes as well. Hobbies include playing/watching sports and traveling.

I have taught high school and college level course for over a decade. I believe that there are common themes that students posses that can impede their learning. A key element is self confidence in their ability to learn. I believe in building up a student's confidence as they learn a subject so they can retain the information and can apply it in real world scenarios.... I believe that all students can learn whatever you offer...

...me find better ways to explain concepts to my own students in class. My keys to tutoring involve getting to know a student so I can find ways to make the material relatable in a manner that makes sense to the student. When I am not working with students, I coach a variety of sports. I coach basketball at my school. I also coach soccer outside of school. At night, I wind down playing a...

...of math to create online knitting patterns to create custom hand knit sock patterns. To see simply applications of math to knitting visit my old hobby blog, http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/530 . While knitting is probably not your hobby, I can generally find applications that can help make a mathematical concept we are working on meaningful. Applications come from all sorts of places: geometric progressions relate to growth of money in a bank account, Newtons laws of mechanics...

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.

I'm a current undergraduate student at Northwestern University. I primarily teach chess where I have over four years of experience working with classes of ~20 students, though I'm open to tutoring math and test prep as well. Overall, I believe that it is important to make content easy to understand for each student and thus help them make tangible progress.
