Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Naperville, IL

...of immersing myself in Chinese culture and broadening the range of my academic experience. I have tutored students since my time in high school at Walter Payton College Prep. My first tutoring job came about when my math teacher at the time asked me to work with three students in Trigonometry and Algebra 2. Since that first tutoring experience, I always knew that I wanted to work with students to help them better understand their...

...While completing my undergraduate degrees, I was a teaching assistant for the Introduction to Engineering class. I enjoyed working with the students and seeing them master the material over the course of the semester. Professionally, I have worked both as a programmer and as a marketer. I believe my greatest strengths are in teaching math and helping students prepare for standardized tests, including the GMAT. In my spare time, I enjoy cross country skiing, cooking,...

...half now, and I'm CLRA certified. I tutor pre-algebra, intermediate algebra, college algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus I, and statistics (Including statistics tests on TI83/84). My tutoring experience has been rewarding, as I have had the opportunity to meet many students with diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. It's my goal as a tutor to help students grasp the concepts and learn how to apply them, rather than simply accumulate information. I believe in students capabilities to...

I am a certified high school math teacher who is looking for summer tutoring opportunities. I have experience teaching and tutoring math through the elementary- high school level, and I especially enjoy the opportunity to work one-on-one with students.

...have worked with graduate students, collegiate students, and school students. Tutoring is one of the most satisfying ways I spend my time. I value and enjoy building a rapport with each student so I can challenge him or her to think critically about a given problem. On the flip side, I continually remind my students to critique and to question what I am presenting, especially if a point is unclear. This not only helps my...

...academic ability grow throughout the year. This is my second year teaching in Chicago Public Schools and one of my favorite parts about teaching is getting to know my students and their interests inside and outside of school. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy volunteering through Habitat for Humanity, traveling around the world, and enjoying the Chicago life. I look forward to the opportunity to assist your child in anyway that will...

...pre-medical track. Throughout my undergraduate career, I served as a Peer Mentor which included providing formal tutoring services and academic advice to peers. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology and Writing. Also, I have helped prepare many students for standardized exams such as the PSAT, SAT and ACT, and enjoy making the best of the experience. I was a National Merit Finalist for the PSAT. I am...

...a PhD in chemical engineering. I am a life-long learner. For the purposes of tutoring, my main proficiency is in chemistry, physics, math, Spanish, ACT/SAT prep, and some English. I think that tutoring is not about teaching but about learning. The student needs to be gain interest via examples, questions, and humor in order to become proficient. A combination of written, visual, and visual aids the learning; advancement occurs over several stages, but should end...

...for a year as an Americorps fellow for a program called AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps, and I am currently working with young adults with Aspergers at a social service agency. I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring children, teenagers, and young adults, including those with developmental and/or learning disabilities.

I have also tutored adults preparing for academic proficiency tests for their jobs and with GRE prep for those interested...

...bulb" above a student's head when they have been struggling with a concept and finally get it. I taught a high school classroom of high functioning students with autism in a therapeutic school for over four years. My teaching experience was very enjoyable, but highly frustrating as well. We worked hard to change behaviors and motivate progress academically and socially. Unfortunately we did not always have the support of families, and in order to really...

...and design, and I believe an understanding of both can help us appreciate our surroundings. My favorite subjects to tutor are algebra and geometry because it is so easy to make use of them in everyday life. When I tutor, I like to have my student identify what is confusing, work through the problem with my student, and then have them attempt a similar problem completely on their own. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...encounter. Having been a math teacher myself, I actually have some disagreements with the way that math is typically taught. I think the fact that so many students get turned off of math should be an indication that maybe something needs to change in the way that we teach it. In addition to math, I like reading, listening to music, and am also a big Cub fan. I even worked for the Cubs from 1988...

My name is Roberto, but most people just call me RJ! I am currently a 4th/5th Grade Math Teacher in Miami, FL. Before this, I taught 5th Grade Math and Science in West Palm Beach, FL.

However, I prefer tutoring math and standardized test prep because I love helping students to be confident and successful in these areas. I love learning and I hold myself to the highest standards, and I hope to inspire students to push themselves and be the best that they...

...a tutor is to instill in my students an excitement for learning that encourages them to reach higher goals on their own. I believe math is the gateway subject that allows students to build confidence and tackle virtually every other subject. I also love learning and speaking new languages, which is a cultural window to a world of people that we were never privy to before. I would like to pass this love of languages...

...love the reaction people make when they finally understand a concept or subject. I believe that everyone learns differently whether it is through lectures, or videos, or even notecards. So there is always an approach to making the material easier to understand. Learning should be fun at the same time. The teachers that stood out to me never failed to make whatever they were teaching enjoyable for the whole class. And that is what I...

I have worked as a tutor with students of all ages from 4 to 40 in a variety of study areas including mathematics (basics, geometry, algebra, calculus), computer science and reading.
