Test Prep Philosophy:Doing well on standardized tests often comes down to a matter of preparation. But standardized tests generally seek to test students' problem solving abilities rather than their aptitude for memorization or a particular subject. So how can you prepare for a test made up of unkno...

Hi!My name is Charles! I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher of logics and various other crafts. I am a member of the LGBTQ community, and I would love to teach and support other students in that community. Of course I am also happy to teach anyone else too!I have worked as a tutor with students of all ages from 4 to 40 in a variety of study areas including mathematics (basics, geometry, algebra, calculus), computer science and reading. My approach to tutoring is primarily conversational, meaning I evaluate students' current knowledge and needs by listening to them.I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2015 with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science.

Judie

ACT Prep Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am an experienced teacher - from High School Math (Algebra I) to first grade phonics. I enjoy helping students discover they can understand a concept that had been confusing before. I coach volleyball at the eighth grade level, and have done so for more than ten years - it's a great activity to develop confidence and teamwork. I come from a large family- -12 brothers and sisters - and like to make people laugh. Even when we are doing homework! I always find out what the student knows, and what might be confusing before starting to tutor. I often find that we can get a quantum leap in performance if we inspect the little things.

While at UMW I led the university student newspaper and worked at our Communication Center where I tutored in public speaking, writing, interview prep and presentation prep.

Casey

ACT Reading Tutor • +18 Subjects

I received my bachelor's degree from Butler University in 2011. I am currently completing graduate study in musicology at the University of Illinois. My research focuses on hip hop music and political life in Morocco. When I am not pursuing my own project, I am usually teaching. I have served as a graduate teaching assistant for U of I's Introduction to World Music course for two years. Before attending graduate school, I worked as a certified substitute teacher for K-12 general and special education in Michigan. I also volunteered as a literacy tutor with the Family Learning Institute in Ann Arbor, MI. While I am comfortable tutoring in a wide range of humanities and language arts subjects, I am most passionate about teaching English and reading comprehension. I believe students' advancements in these subjects positively impact all other academic areas. Every student can build confidence in reading and writing, and have fun doing it. I see education as a collaborative effort and I work to bring my students' personal perspectives into our lessons. Watching a student learn new things is exciting, but seeing them recognize the power of their own knowledge and experiences is even better! In my spare time, I enjoy making and listening to music of all kinds, reading and writing science fiction, running long distances (slowly), and spending a lot of time outdoors.
