Award-Winning Geophysics Tutors serving Des Plaines, IL

...help with homework. Since then, I was a tutor at my first college, where I tutored groups of college-aged students in math and physics. Since I began tutoring, I've loved the connections I was able to make with students, as well as the joy of watching each student become more confident and proud of themselves as they work through the subjects they initially had struggled with. I also love challenging myself in determining ways I...

...students in class that struggled, and I loved to do so. I realized that while things came easily to me, it was not always the case for my fellow classmates, so I happily helped them pick up the slack. As long as someone wanted to learn, I was always available to help them out. My love of learning I tried to engender in them, with mixed results. First, off I have a degree in Mathematics,...

...and science courses. I independently challenged the Calculus BC and Physics C EM exams my senior year because my high school did not offer them. I received 5's on both. After graduating high school, I attended Lehigh University where I graduated in 2019 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Minor in Computer Science. During the school year, I would tutor my fellow classmates in math and engineering classes. In the summers, I would...

Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

I studied physics and mathematics at Stephen F. Austin State University, where I also tutored students and taught physics laboratories. I found that I have a passion for teaching and helping people in these fascinating subjects. I'm a big proponent of multimedia teaching and finding ways to use presentations, animations, and demonstrations to help students understand the beauty of our mechanical universe.

...through grad school and through much of my undergrad, as well as attending numerous outreach events for students in K-12 school and learning about pedagogy for my degree. I am very enthusiastic about math and science and work hard to show others the joy of solving a puzzle. Whether you are really interested in math and science or you are just trying to get through to meet your requirement, my goal is to pass strategies...

I am a current civil engineering graduate at Stony Brook University. I enjoy helping students in my free time, especially those with interests associated with STEM, to understand the material they are learning in their academics. I am also a current tunnel engineering intern for Mott MacDonald, and am in the process of obtaining my EIT, as I passed my FE - Civil Exam in the fall of 2022!

Hello, My name is Erik Dassoff and I hold a master's degree in Food Technology from a leading Dutch University. I also have a strong academic track record, having all A's throughout K-12 and my undergraduate degree. I enjoy problem-solving in math and science, but also enjoy applying it to useful real-life scenarios. I look forward to meeting and working with you! Cheers, Erik

...and Power electronics. Recently after graduation, I had an opportunity to work as a Professor and have 3+ years of experience in teaching & mentoring students in the field of Electrical Engineering. In my experience guiding students with their difficult subjects so that they can grow and feel confident makes me thrive to pursue teaching. I firmly believe in as quoted by John Dewey "Education is not preparation for life; education is the life itself"...

...these subjects more fundamentally, and now, I feel like I am in a position to offer others an insight into these subjects that I wasn't given. I've found that one of the best ways to introduce students to a new subject or idea is through motivating examples or real world problems. I prefer not to give students the answer, but gently lead them to it, so that in the end they gain some satisfaction in...
