Prior to my recent studies as a doctoral student in International Education at New York University (Ph.D. ABD), I received an Ed.M. in Secondary Education (Teaching and Curriculum) from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2002 and gained a B.A. in English Literature with honors from the University of Florida in 2001, where I received a full scholarship as a Florida Bright Scholar and was elected early as a Junior to the Phi Beta Kappa national honor society.Over the past fourteen years, I have worked as an educator in a variety of settings and capacities. I started my teaching career at Blind Brook High School in Westchester County, NY, where I taught English Language Arts for three years and developed a popular creative writing elective, which I also adapted for a pre-college summer enrichment program based out of Cambridge University in England.Fascinated with the learning potential inherent in international experience, I took a professional "gap year," during which time I traveled extensively through Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, followed by a half year living and teaching English as a Foreign Language in Madrid, Spain, where I attained a TEFL certificate. Determined to further enhance my Spanish skills and engage in an extensive volunteering experience, I traveled to Chile in South America, where I worked for a year as a volunteer English professor at the college level in coordination with World Teach, based out of the Harvard Center for International Development. I extended my stay in Latin America to nearly two years by serving as a field director for World Teach, training and supervising new volunteers. While there, I also teamed with Chilean educators at the Universidad Catolica to develop a national animation-based English language learning curriculum.Since returning to the United States, I have engaged in doctoral studies in International Education with a concentration in cross-cultural exchange at NYU, where I served as an adjunct instructor for a number of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including "Culture Wars in America," "Cross-Cultural Studies of Socialization," and the "Interdisciplinary Studies of the New Immigration." I have also spent the last six years working with families throughout New York City as a private tutor and homeschool teacher at the elementary, middle, and high school levels and also as a college admissions consultant with a focus on essay writing. In addition, I freelance as an editor of academic and professional writing, and my specialty lies in helping students develop their writing skills and articulately express their thoughts.

I grew up on a small farm in Central Texas, the third daughter of the vocational agriculture teacher at the local high school. The realities of chopping cotton and farm work in general instilled in me the strong desire to excel academically, so that I could get off the farm. With no internet or cable (back in the day), I read...a lot. Scoring a 1470 on the PSAT as a junior earned me a National Merit Scholarship. Going to state UIL in science ( I placed Third) led to a Welch Scholarship and a required major in Chemistry at college. I also majored in Math and graduated from Southwestern University with a 4.0. I then also scored really well on the GRE and the Chemistry GRE, which earned me a National Science Foundation Fellowship for graduate school. I received my PhD in synthetic organic chemistry from Texas A&M University in 1984, married a fellow PhD chemist and went on to work in the chemical industry for the next 30 years while raising two daughters through orchestra, dual credit, AP courses, SAT's, ACT's, GRE's, PCAT's and MCAT's. Having two daughters really brought home to me how much I enjoy teaching. Throughout their educational journey, I tutored them and their friends, revisiting all the math, chemistry, physics, biology, and English subjects I had ever taken.Teaching is in my blood, so to speak. Both of my parents were teachers, so I grew up seeing both sides of the process, as well as helping to grade papers. I was given an early opportunity to develop my own skills in teaching when I started college. Since my undergraduate institution,Southwestern University, had no graduate program, undergraduates were used as teaching assistants. As a freshman in college, I was immediately given a job teaching the recitation section for the non-technical general chemistry class, which was known among the students as "Kitchen Chem". While it was unusual for a freshman to get a job as a teaching assistant, this was an even more unusual situation, for, not only was I essentially giving the review lectures for this class, I was also writing and grading the multiple choice exams for the professor. Thus, early on I was given a high level of responsibility and autonomy. The professors for my own classes at Southwestern University were superb, imparting not only a rigorous understanding of the subject matter, but also, at the same time instructing me in the subtle arts of teaching. As a sophomore, I taught the freshman chemistry lab for technical majors, quantitative and qualitative analysis. As a junior and senior, I was teaching the organic chemistry lab. In graduate school, I continued teaching labs: general chemistry for majors, chemistry for non-majors, organic chemistry for the technical majors (engineers and pre-meds), and organic chemistry for non-majors (affectionately referred to as Cowboy Chem). In addition to supervising labs, this included writing quizzes, grading quizzes and reports, and assigning grades. Toward the end of my degree, as I was finishing up my dissertation, a need arose for an organic lecturer, and I was hired to teach a full load of organic chemistry for the technical majors, two classes of ~100 students each, along with supervisory responsibility for multiple lab sections. I taught for a year and a half before taking a research job in the chemical industry. While there, my teaching duties continued with group meetings, safety presentations, research presentations, and new hires, not to mention helping the kids with homework and tutoring friends, neighbors and their kids when help was needed in chemistry, math, biology, or physics. Now that my kids are mostly launched, I've decided that it's time to apply my teaching skills to help other parents and their kids.

Im currently an undergraduate bioengineering student at UIC minoring in economics and set to begin graduate work next fall. Before transferring to UIC I attended Augustana College and pursued degrees in physics and environmental studies. I hold excellent interpersonal and math skills and am good at explaining as well as doing math problems which in my opinion is somewhat of a rarity among science and math teachers. Throughout my youth I coached a swim team and have always gained an immense satisfaction from helping others. Tutoring is a win-win situation for both parties. The student becomes fluent and develops interest in a subject they have struggled with in the past and I gain from helping them improve and succeed. I like to make learning fun and strive to make the information relatable to my students. This way we can become excited about the subjects which makes learning that much easier. Mostly I am interested in tutoring math and math-related subjects including economics. Throughout sessions I will always try to convey exactly how important it is to learn the information, because like it or not, even if the student is not interested in learning, I want to convey that in life we often are forced into tasks that are not always enjoyable. Whats important is to persevere and understand that there is no other option but to complete the task or learn the material and we can only gain from giving it our best effort. During free time I enjoy reading The Economist magazine, playing table tennis and badminton, and eating Thai food. Thank you for your time.

I have a B.A in Political Science from UNC - Chapel Hill and I am currently applying to law schools. I tutor students in LSAT prep, SAT prep, History, Politics, and Geography. I'm a laid back, relaxed person who emphasizes targeted practice to master any subject material. I enjoy both teaching and learning, and I would love to work with you.

I like being a tutor because I like to help students to achieve their goals, and to have better understanding of topics that will help them to advance in their studies. I am good for this job because I have patience, I know different ways to explain concepts, and I know the subjects that I am trying to explain. I have been a tutor in the past and achieved good results from students. I have experience with math and science subjects since I studied Biology, Engineering and Administration at a University level. Outside of academic work I like to travel, hiking, literature, movies, paint and music.

I graduated from Yale in 2015 with a degree in Anthropology. Next year, I will be attending Stanford Medical School to pursue my MD and hopefully begin a career as a pediatrician.For as long as I can remember, I have loved math and science. Now, as a tutor, I am extremely excited to share my passion for these subjects with other students. Though math and science can often be intimidating, I hope to show how approachable these subjects really are. Everyone can succeed in math and science if they want!In addition to teaching content, I am happy to work with students on note-taking and strong study habits. By focusing on these skills, I believe students can improve in every subject and better prepare themselves for college and beyond!

I have been tutoring students for 8 years. I always find that tutoring improves the student and the tutor. when people study together they both gain new techniques and levels of knowledge.

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with degrees in chemical engineering and math and computer science. After a summer of relaxing, I am planning on entering medical school at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the fall. Throughout high school and college, I have fallen in love with tutoring and seeing so many new faces in the process. I especially love to tutor in math, chemistry, MCAT, and chemical engineering topics, and have experience tutoring students of all ages - from elementary school to fellow college students. When I am not tutoring or in school, I am an avid lifter and love to bake with friends!
