Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Chicago, IL

Hi! My name is Ryan; I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering major from Carnegie Mellon University. I tutored for three years before starting with Varsity, and I can't wait to help you!

...material (second year medical students). I believe these two exams are two of the most stressful exams a student can take, but with a good study schedule and study habits, they are manageable. I am also interested in teaching younger students (elementary and middle school age) the basics of mathematics. A strong foundation of basic algebra is crucial for ACT or SAT preparation. Mastering these skills at a young age can set students up nicely...

...love to help beginner students find their footing with this beautiful language. I love seeing students become more confident learners, and I love watching students find what works best for them and grow beyond anyone's expectations!

Outside of the classroom you can often find me...

...try to provide as many different types of explanations necessary 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...

...Olivet Nazarene University was spent pursuing a degree in secondary education with an endorsement in the social sciences. This choice is largely due to my love for history. Ever since I was a young boy I have been absolutely enthralled by the events of the past. During college, this developed further with an interest in fields such as psychology and sociology. In short, my main interest is centered around people and their past. In terms...

...were French and chemistry, but I tutored all high school curriculum except Spanish. I will describe my teaching philosophy as " to make each training session as engaging as possible while also assisting students in developing self-study habits. The possibilities are endless when equipped with the tools to learn. " I prefer classroom where there is a blend of different teaching styles. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy traveling, eating and sleeping.

When I was in high school I did not focus in school as much as I do now. After attending my first class in chemistry as a pre requisite for my major at the time, I fell in love with chemistry and ended switching my major to Biochemistry. I want to be able to help students that are struggling with their academics in order to help the student excel in their future endeavors.

...help my students map out the logic of organic chemical reactions and to understand the basic principles that guide organic reactions. With this this kind of approach students are able to develop a much more in depth understanding of chemistry and this makes it easier to approach and solve various problems in organic chemistry. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will be more than happy to set up a session...

...difficult scientific topics in an approachable and relevant manner for students. I was central in vertically aligning the science department curriculum at Hansberry, and have become an expert on SAT strategies, analysis, etc. during this time. I am open to both online and in-person tutoring, with a radius of 20 miles for travel. I look forward to meeting you, your child, and helping to grow their scientific and critical thinking skills. Have a good day!

...problem solving. The summer after, I was chosen in a biomedical engineering research position where I wanted to learn more about the applications of biomedical engineering. A group of six students and me created the first working program that locates a tumor in the body. I also worked as a conference assistant because I wanted to improve my communication and leadership skills as I was able to communicate professionally with other staff through emails, write...

...to determine what they feel is working and what isn't in our sessions. I think the best way to learn is through practice. I typically use class time to present a lesson plan, practice problems on the lesson, and talk through the solutions to determine areas of strength and areas of improvement. I typically provide some homework problems to allow students a chance to try concepts on their own to strengthen their understanding. Positivity is...

...am attending the UIC College of Medicine in the Fall. I am most passionate in biology and chemistry, but I tutor a broad range of subjects. I believe that tutoring should place a strong emphasis on the student's needs and I am a firm believer in making sure students leave no gaps in their understanding of a topic. In my free time, I like to make my own music and read philosophy books.

...I've been teaching in one form or another since I was a teenagerfrom Kung Fu to chemistry labs to mentoring PhDs in clinical settingsand I've learned that if you can't explain something clearly, you probably don't fully understand it. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and an M.S. in Biochemistry from DePaul University, and I bring a practical, patient, and interactive approach to tutoring. Whether it's chemistry or biology, I focus on real-world connections, clear...

...students and sharing my love of science with them. I stress good study habits and design lessons that incorporate various learning styles. I get to know my students and develop lessons and materials that support them and their different needs. This past year with Varsity Tutors I worked with several students that were taking AP Biology. We worked on a schedule to prepare for the exam as well as keeping up with the in class...

...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...

...power of the subject. As a tutor, I hope to provide my students with the tools and problem solving abilities they need to reliably solve the problems they may face in class. Rather than simply telling the answer to a question, I prefer to walk the student through the thought process behind the answer, and then allow them to walk me through their thinking on a different problem.
