I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, studying actuarial science. I have a strong passion for mathematics, and I enjoy helping others succeed and discover their passion for math as well. I believe that everyone can succeed in Math with the right guidance and support. I tutor Algebra 1 and 2, Calculus 1,2, and 3, Statistics, as well as Linear Algebra. I strive to break down complex topics into bite-sized pieces that he can internalize by students and then applied to harder problems. I believe this is the most effective method in helping students understand the material.

I am currently an undergraduate student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am a double major in integrative biology and behavioral neuroscience, and I am hoping to become a neurologist.
As a seasoned nurse with over seven years of experience, including a tenure as a nursing instructor, I have developed a profound passion for education and nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals. My journey in teaching began unexpectedly, as I discovered an innate joy and fulfillment in guiding and inspiring others while sharing my knowledge in nursing. With a Master's Degree in Nursing Education from Chamberlain University, and currently pursuing my Doctorate Degree in Nursing, I am deeply committed to continuous learning and professional growth. My transition from clinical practice to academia has been driven by a desire to instill in students the same dedication, compassion, and expertise that define the nursing profession. Having served as a nursing instructor for over a year, I have honed my instructional skills and earned recognition as the highest-rated instructor at my university. My approach to teaching is multifaceted, tailored to the individual needs and learning styles of my students. Through initial consultations, I assess their unique requirements and design personalized strategies to facilitate their academic success. While nursing holds a special place in my heart, I am equally passionate about tutoring subjects like algebra, anatomy and physiology, and other sciences, as they serve as integral components of nursing education. My diverse expertise allows me to offer comprehensive support across various disciplines, ensuring students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for the challenges of the healthcare field. Beyond academia, I find joy in reading, cooking, and spending time with my beloved guinea pig. These interests not only enrich my life but also contribute to my holistic approach to education, fostering creativity, and nurturing a balanced lifestyle. As I embark on this journey as a tutor, I am excited about the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, empowering them to achieve their academic goals and realize their full potential. By imparting knowledge, fostering critical thinking, and instilling a passion for lifelong learning, I am confident in my ability to shape the future generation of nurses and contribute to the advancement of healthcare as a whole.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.
I am flexible and adaptive to different learning styles. I welcome students and/or parents to set their own goals/expectations, and I tailor the curriculum to suit those goals.
I am a life-long proponent of education and learning. I graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in philosophy. After working for a few years, including in book publishing, I returned to school and completed my M.A. in history at the University of California, Berkeley. While there, I taught history and philosophy classes to undergraduates. I also taught Standardized Test Prep (SAT and GRE) for Summit Tutors and Kaplan.
I am taking time to explore my lifelong interest in teaching. I began tutoring at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked for three years as a teaching assistant in a Cell Biology laboratory course. There, I enjoyed helping my peers understand the larger picture developing through our weekly experiments. At Loyola University Chicago, I continued to tutor a variety of subjects while earning a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences.
I am a licensed attorney in Illinois who primarily represents children in guardianship disputes as the Guardian ad Litem as well as low-income clients in a myriad of housing and family law related cases. I graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Philosophy in 2009. In May of 2014, I received my JD from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. I tutor Reading, Writing, History, Public Speaking, Standardized Test Prep, and am available to help with the college application process. Prior to law school, I assisted in the developing of curriculum for a homework help program at a community center in Chicago. I have always been passionate about how to best share and communicate ideas, whether written or spoken. My method for tutoring involves sharing this passion with students to better help them hone and express their own opinions.
I'm Anna! I'm currently a student in the MD/MBA program between Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the Kellogg School of Management, and graduated from Northwestern University as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education. I attended the Bergen County Academies in New Jersey, a selective, application-based magnet school, for high school.
I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.
