Award-Winning HSPT Tutors serving Chicago, IL

...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 letter grades, test scores and confidence in test preparation. One of the key differences in my tutoring strategy is to constantly involve the parents in the process of...

...to their work. I have been working as a tutor and educator for nearly a decade. After graduating from Stanford University, I worked with students ranging in age from Kindergarten to Twelfth Grade, from basic reading to Calculus BC. Irrespective of age, the focus remains the same: to help students enjoy the work so much, the barely know they're working! I love seeing students find excitement and understanding in a subject that they had previously...

...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 and teambuilding through improvisation to all ages (as well as creating a kids summer camp), reading for the SAG Foundations BookPALS (Performing Artists for Literacy in Schools)...

a dedicated, distinguished, determined educator who is committed to excel as a caring creator and guider of meaningful learning experiences for students with individualized educational needs.

...an upperclassman. I specialize in literature, language arts, and writing. Currently, I hold a job as a Peer Writing Tutor at DePaul University's Center for Writing-based Learning. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to share my passion for learning and ensure that others are optimizing their educational experience. I encourage students to dig deep and form original ideas, rather than taking shortcuts. This way, lessons have a meaningful and lasting impact.

...will be difficult if you don't know your multiplication/division facts...so I would work on those topics if simplifying is difficult. For the younger kids, playing a game or two to break up the hour is always a great idea. Using visuals is great for any student of any age, particularly younger ones, so I will always draw/write things out, and encourage students to show all of their work. I will try to make math as...

...schooling and I am excited to return the favor. I recently graduated with a bachelors in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry. I love to tutor biology, it is so fascinating to learn about. I am constantly learning more and am amazed by the questions students ask me that urge me to keep learning. I also enjoy tutoring en Espanol which I learned from my parents growing up and continued to learn...

...instruction across the humanities, test preparation, and college readiness. I've taught everything from early literacy and middle school ELA to AP-level history, civics, and economicsand I've guided students through the full academic journey, from mastering foundational skills to crafting standout college essays and preparing for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams. My background spans elite classrooms and enrichment programs alike: I've taught in college-preparatory high schools, developed curriculum for national nonprofits, and designed one-on-one tutoring...

...year in high school. Along with Spanish, I have a real passion for calculus and physics. Aside from academics, I have logged more than 500 community service hours in various mission trips and local organizations that I have worked with throughout the years. I look forward to working with any and all students that decide to hire me as their tutor, and will make it my personal goal to see them grow into an individual...

I have a great deal of teaching experience as a tutor and a regular teacher since 1996 when I became a university student. I liked to help students have interest in learning, especially science. I like it when my students feel free to ask me any questions in and out of the learning process. Great rapport makes one a good tutor. I have taught general science and biology for middle and high school students for...

...growth. I am a creative worker who excels in motivating and inspiring others, and who is driven to inspire and teach students not only to excel academically but also to be respectful, patient and positive. I believe that it is wrong to call the disparities in skill an achievement gap; rather, I believe it is an opportunity gap. It isn't that students aren't capable of success, it's that the opportunity for success is not always...

...I graduated from Whitney Young High School and tutored students there in French. I am currently learning Armenian, my fourth language, and I love tutoring foreign languages because I love helping students discover the ins and outs of a new language and culture. I also have experience tutoring elementary school students in reading, writing, and math through 826CHI's After School Tutoring and Writing Project. I am also a writer and editor, and writing is one...

...day. You spend time or money on it. You may even meet people or go to conventions to build a community around it. All to satisfy some elusive appetite behind it -- a hunger for more information, a deeper understanding. That hunger is curiosity. And if you have the hunger, the of achievement -- the organization, the motivation, the discipline -- needs only a small amount of guidance to fall naturally into place. And here's...
