Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors serving Oak Park, IL

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.

...determine the best way that you learn and what you enjoy so that my approach will be best suited to you. I have found that enganging with a student and adapting to his/her skillset allows for the quickest path to growth and a mastery of the subject matter. I am extremely personable and patient and am willing to do what it takes to help you succeed. In my free time, I play intramural sports and...

...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 grade in various subjects such as math and sciences and have...

...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 see its application in everyday life, and my hope is to instill that mathematical awareness in my students. A bit of background about myself: I grew up in Skokie, Illinois (a suburb just North of Chicago), and I'm currently studying mathematics and computer science at University of Illinois at...

...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 were studying together. After some time, people started coming home 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...

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.

...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 working step-by-step through its practical applications so that the student can...

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.

...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 in technical roles as well as an Engineering manager where I managed and mentored junior engineers. I have taught all the subjects and test prep to my daughters throughout their education as well. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and can't wait to help more people reach their potentials.

...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 and elementary students in Computer Science, math, and Spanish. Beyond these subjects, I tutor students in art and composition, edit essays for colleges, scholarships, or classes, and teach the basics of Russian. Outside of academia, I actively practice art by painting, drawing, or doing digital art. I also play...

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!
