Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors serving Des Plaines, 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.

...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 skills. As a military kid, I understand that every child grasps concepts in diverse ways and has a unique set of skills. That is why I am willing to...

...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 a Teaching Associate for the University. Additionally, during High School and college, I spent many summers working as a Sailing Instructor. My last year I was Head Instructor at...

I recently finished graduate school in Classics, which is the study of Latin 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 the method of finding the right answers.

...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 drawing; by using proportions and geometry to analyze a scene as well as incorporating different techniques, I am able to achieve the desired result. When I teach, I try...

...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 answering their questions for 1 year. I have also odd private tutoring on the side and have done online tutoring with BrainFuse, which includes tutoring students from K-12 the...

...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 when it comes to middle-school math and beyond, it's much more important to understand the *why* element. Math and science just make so much more sense when we can...

...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 school, I like doing all sorts of sports and activities. I naturally found my passion for tutoring when my friends would ask me questions about the HS subjects we...

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...

I'm a recent CS grad, having tutored high school- and college-aged students 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 everything works.

...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 with my students, mainly through Physics and Mathematics. In my teaching style, I prefer to use a firm but gentle approach to learning, starting with a general principle before...

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.

...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 reaching their long term goals in addition to just learning the material needed at the moment. I graduated from Purdue University with a BSEE degree and have worked at Motorola...

...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 of this practice is key! Now I am working towards a Computer Science degree at Lake Forest College. I speak English, Russian, and Spanish. Previously, I tutored my peers...

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!
