Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Oak Lawn, IL

...to coach high school principals around the country. My diverse experiences have given me insight into a wide range of content areas and age groups, from kids to adult learners. I am an avid test-taker and find test prep to be fascinating and - yes - fun! I've taken the LSAT and GRE; my scores were good enough to get into some pretty great schools, along with some scholarship money. I believe everyone is capable...

...honing their writing, but sometimes we need someone trustworthy to point out where we have been lapsing. There shouldn't be any question that this skill has to be cultivated to see significant growth, but where does anyone get if they spend more time sufficing than striving? I've been a college writing tutor for over a year and consider every person's writing capability an invaluable trait worth honing. I think tutoring's a practice so largely undervalued...

I am happy to work with students on all manner of writing and reading comprehension needs. This includes preparation for placement tests as well as less formal work to simply gain skills and (hopefully!) imbue a love and respect for the language arts in the process. I have a B.A. in English from U.C. Berkeley, but also have advanced degrees in International Museum Studies and Forced Migration. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Geography.

...at multiple levels, I have loved to not only develop the interests and mastery of my students and mentees, but stimulate their passion for learning and solving problems and developing interest in why the material they are studying is important and necessary (beyond the grades). As a current PhD student, education has, and will continue to be, the most important aspect to my professional career, and I hope to pass that passion along!

I was introduced to VT by a friend. I love interacting with students and share my knowledge with them, watch them learn subjects and succeed. I enjoy the results that we get out of our shared effort.

...family of teachers and was fortunate to grow up at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, where my anthropologist mom was Education Director. Since early childhood, I've been immersed in multicultural and ELL education. I've devoted my personal and professional time to diversity and storytelling, starting at public TV station WETA in my hometown outside Washington, D.C., where I was certified as a trainer with Sesame Street's Preschool Education Project. I've also taught creativity...

Recent PhD graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University with extensive tutoring and engineering experience

...My last year I was Head Instructor at Rockland Community Sailing. This was especially rewarding for me, because this particular community sail program welcomed children of Youthlinks, a part of Broadreach Family and Community Services, aimed at serving underprivileged kids in the area. This program, and it's connection to us, allowed children who otherwise would have never have had a chance to step foot on a boat, the opportunity to learn how to sail and...

...Once I graduated, I began tutoring the ACT and SAT. I love helping students prepare for standardized tests! I really enjoy taking them, which makes it fun for me to teach. I also recognize their importance in our education system, and I love being able to help students work towards their goals. I have recently begun tutoring the verbal side of the GRE as well.

I believe that with the right tools and encouragement anyone can be successful in the humanities and social sciences.

...the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Bachelor of Science in Statistics. I spent a semester at UIC as a volunteer tutor in the math center, which uncovered a passion for teaching math. I believe that most people are not as bad at math as they think, and that many people dislike math because of poor instruction they received growing up. I hope to change that. Outside of tutoring, I'm a purple belt in...

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.

...I have done a little tutoring, but most of my teaching experience is in the university setting as a TA. I'm particularly excited about biology and psychology, where I have the most experience. I also really enjoy reading and writing. Outside of academics I like to do pottery, play basketball, and watch Netflix (though they recently removed all my favorite shows). I have two little sisters, who I helped in school, and a cat, Indiana...

...multiple other means of media for my students. As a potential tutor of your child I look forward to utilizing my skillset to further impact generations of students. I sincerely desire to give back the educational gift that was so graciously bestowed upon me. The possibilities for the students once they understand their potential in mathematics is limitless. One of my greatest rewards is hearing the testimonials of my students and their substantial increase in...

In response to the pandemic, I quickly learned ways to...
