Stephen: Vernon Hills tutor

Certified Tutor

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a minor in Physics from the University of Richmond and am currently in the process of applying to medical school. Throughout college, I gained extensive experience working with students as both a tutor and a teaching assistant for chemistry courses and an MCAT preparation class.

I tutor a range of subjects including chemistry, biology, physics, general math, and test preparation for exams like the MCAT. Among these, chemistry is my favorite to teach because I love showing students how its principles explain so much of the natural world, transforming what often feels abstract into something intuitive and fascinating.

My teaching philosophy centers on patience, clarity, and adaptability. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenging concepts at their own pace. I believe in meeting students where they are and tailoring explanations to their individual learning styles, so they can build both confidence and mastery.

Whether helping students develop strong foundational skills or preparing for important exams, I am dedicated to helping each student reach their unique goals.
