Award-Winning Data Structures Tutors serving Chicago, IL

...computer science and statistics in college. Since late high school I have had a regular teaching commitment, whether it was helping younger students prepare for standardized tests or TA'ing for college courses. I can tutor very effectively across a variety of math, computer science, and statistics subjects, but am most passionate and have the most 1-on-1 experience in probability and statistics and test prep. I believe that anyone with a good amount of motivation can...

...tutoring focuses on exploring ideas and problem solving strategies until they become intuitive. I believe that intuition is the key to long term command of a subject. A difficult problem becomes far more digestible when viewed from a new angle. Once an idea makes sense at its core, it is far easier to learn its nuances and develop strong habits for applying it in the future. In my free time, I enjoy acting, playing music,...

...passion for tutoring in an immense amount of subjects /standardized tests/essays, and helping others gain a greater sense of the material they are trying to master. More specifically, I love helping other students work through the intricacies of mathematics and programming problems and I strive to try to make myself smarter and more insightful through the process, as well! I have a wealth of experience in peer tutoring and along with the knowledge I have...

...no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each students' strengths and learning styles. I like to incorporate a diverse group to learning modes including written work, active discussion, real world demonstrations, videos and interactive computer modules. Using all of these tools and my...

...assisted them in improving their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in order to effectively analyze problems and develop solutions to problems that they would encounter. I encouraged them to use the plethora of resources that are on the Internet to increase their knowledge. All these tactics enabled all 15 students I worked with to successfully demo their final projects. Currently, I am utilizing online resources to communicate with and assist students in math subjects such...

...about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify...

...for it. People called me crazy to let go of my dream, but they did not know who I really was on the inside; a little bit of everything. Eventually, I graduated as a computer engineer from University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. During my journey of tackling hardware and software engineering, I was fortunate enough to be a part of a team that did research on augmenting computer science in the existing curriculum to...

I graduated cum laude from Cornell University and currently work in academia. I love science and learning! As a sciences and history of science double major, I find great value in being able to effectively communicate science topics to non-scientific audiences. Let me help you learn to love learning and studying efficiently :).

...retention, which in-turn facilitates the ability to apply knowledge and think laterally when the opportune moment presents itself in the real-world. To truly learn is to discover knowledge through experience and lots of practice which invokes the confidence to overcome challenges while simultaneously lifting inhibitions in regard to tackling new problems. To facilitate such an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical sciences, by facilitating a working...

...am one myself. I have personally gone through the tedious nature of prepping for tests, standardized or not. I want to be able to help students in areas that I can, whether it be related to math, science, or programming. In the past, I have tutored students in algebra, calculus, physics and chemistry, in which I gained a lot of experience when it comes to how to teach students and understand how they want to...
