Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Oak Park, IL

...to help kids of all ages advance in Math! I have 5 years of tutoring elementary math, middle school math, pre-algebra, and algebra I. I worked at a Math Learning Center called Mathnasium, and learned a lot about the math education process. Most of the time, math class struggles are due to gaps in learning from previous year's math classes. Math really builds on itself from year to year. My philosophy is to help with...

...Elisa, and I have an M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in reading and English as a second language. My experiences in education have led me to teach early childhood up until 8th grade. Also, I have taught fifth and third grade at a National Blue Ribbon School, and I strive to stay up to date on the best educational practices. I got trained by some of the industry's top rated professionals such...

...excited to be working with Varsity Tutors because I enjoy teaching and getting to share some of my academic experience. 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...

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.

...think of tutoring sessions as learning learning. It's never too late to start good habits, and it's amazing how simple and rewarding it is to approach one's studies in the right way. For my part, I like to keep things light but productive; I find that students learn the best when they're having fun and when their studies highlight the aspects of the work that they're interested in. Myriad studies have correlated interest and academic...

...aspects of English, including critical reading, persuasive writing, comparative literature, public speaking, specializing with ACT/SAT/AP and other test strategies. I've taught and lectured at universities, schools and with individuals around Chicagoland as well as in the Bay Area. I customize study plans with learners and their advocates to utilize existing abilities and add new techniques to reach personal and scholastic goals. I have a BS in Communications and Theater, and an MFA in Creative Writing....

...working on my final project during college -- a solo performance show -- there was one part, a story I was telling about high school, that kept falling flat. My adviser, Karen, said something along the lines of, "In my experience, when something I write isn't working, it means I have to add more detail." That was one of the most valuable lessons I've ever learned. I received my bachelor's degree in dance from Ohio...

...wait to help you learn! I have been tutored a lot throughout my 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...

I have worked with students in elementary school to college. I am adaptable to different learning styles, as no two students are alike, and I can help students with skills such as memorization, time management, and studying. I look forward to helping students succeed in all of their academic endeavors.

I am a student-focused tutor with experience working with a wide range of age groups and topics. I am devoted to serving in a mentorship role and helping develop individuals through a hands-on, personal teaching style.... My role is to help the student understand how they learn and study best. By reaching this understanding, I can then work with students to develop independent study skills that fit their unique needs.
