Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors serving Deerfield, IL

My name is Allison, I am 22 years old and a recent graduate from Georgia Tech. I majored in Industrial and Systems Engineering and graduated with a 3.5. I specialize in Math, Computer Science, Languages, and Standardized Testing.

...I love teaching and helping others around me, especially when it comes to writing and reading. Since high school, I have always found ways to reach out and further my love for mentoring and teaching. Throughout the school year, I am a mentee for a Chicago Public school child which has definitely benefited my teaching...

...However, I knew I also was not finished with 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...

...and ancient Greek. Prior to that point, I taught high school Latin for two years. I have also tutored college students in writing. I am available to tutor most subjects, though my specialties are foreign language (German, Spanish, and Latin) and test prep. I teach by asking students the right questions so that they learn...

...web design. I have a deep understanding of mathematics and how computers work, but software development also allows room for creativity and exploration of an endless supply of tools available online. I like to think I bring this versatility to every aspect of life, including tutoring. Another example of this is my affinity for realistic...

...to tutor both biology, chemistry, and organic chemistry at Portland State University. I have taught many undergraduate students both one on one as well as group sessions. In addition, I have been an organic chemistry class liaison in which I taught a group of 10-15 students working on different chemistry problems as a group and...

...This quote is my motto for tutoring. Many nights, 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...

...something new. Currently at my 2nd year of college, I am a full-time computer science major aiming for a masters degree. I came from Norway almost a year ago. I will teach any math classes that fall below Calculus 3. I also teach Python and C++. When I am not busy studying or going to...

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...

...over the complete gamut of computer science topics from the basics of programming language constructs to computational analysis and finite automata. I find that CS is best taught by example, so my teaching methods will involve going through scaled-down examples by hand, and for programming problems, stepping through code line by line to understand how...

...my BS in Physics. Ever since I was little, 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...

a dedicated, distinguished, determined educator who is committed to excel as a caring creator and guider of meaningful learning experiences for students with individualized educational needs.

...the response when the student truly understands the topic. I like to focus on finding ways to make sure the student UNDERSTANDS the topic rather than simply learning to memorize the facts. I find that they are always able to retain the knowledge more that way. I especially focus on teaching students to focus on...

...and I am excited to spread my knowledge to students of any age. Working with the student's abilities, I try to adapt my teaching style to best fit the student. In general, I provide examples of how to complete a certain task before asking the student to work out a problem on their own. Repetition...

...I believe that given all the data on learning environments and learners, one cannot deny that the ideal learning environment is one which incorporates real-life experience as much as possible and when not possible, provides for simulations of real-life settings using technology to bring the world to the learner and the learner to the world....

I am currently at freshman at Northwestern University majoring in computer science. I tutored students in math throughout high school and would love to continue doing so!
