Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +68 Subjects
I graduated summa cum laude from Emerson College, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies and a minor in Writing, Literature, and Publishing. While in college in Boston, I was struck by a quote on the side of the Boston Public Library: "The Commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty." This statement gives me great inspiration as I work with my students. As a tutor, I have worked with students from ages 5 to 25. I tutor many academic subjects, but my favorites are always History, Social Science, English, and Literature. I love these subjects because I often feel they are our greatest keys to understanding why the world behaves as it does. I have taught numerous forms of standardized tests for admittance to high schools and colleges. It is not uncommon for my students to see significant increases in math, reading, and writing sections of these tests. I always find that the best tutoring results come from keeping sessions as fun and engaging as possible while still covering the material. When not tutoring, I teach performance classes in subjects like magic, comedy, and balloon sculpting. When not teaching, I enjoy reading, hiking, travel, and video games.

I am a graduate of John Carroll University where I received a BA in Early Childhood Education. Since graduation I have realized how strong my passion is for education and I decided to attend Johns Hopkins University where I received a Master of Science in Education. I am in my fifth year of teaching and have taughtet everything from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade. My favorite part of working with students is seeing that "Ah-Ha!" moment. I love learning about my students as a whole so that I can make instruction as relevant as possible to them. In my free time I enjoy staying active by rowing, a sport I came to love in my early years of college. I have also served as an Academic Mentor to the John Carroll Rowing team.

Danielle
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +25 Subjects
My name is Danielle and I recently moved to Chicago where I have completed my coursework in becoming a full-time teacher and have passed all necessary professional knowledge and subject exams. My certification comes from Rio Salado College in Phoenix, Arizona. While waiting for my teaching license I have utilize this time productively by becoming a substitute teacher. As a substitute teacher, I have gained further experience and knowledge in regards to helping students succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. Not only did I serve as the instructor when the teacher was absent, I also spent time providing one-on-one support and instruction.Throughout my courses and time substituting, I have learned that as a teacher you need to able to adapt to your student's needs. To help overcome this challenge I utilized my strength and ability to think outside of the box to provide the assistance and instruction necessary for success. With this ability, I have been able to look at the big picture and adapt myself so not to conform to the saying "one size fits all". Instead I have been able to adapt myself and think outside of the box to help those students who may need special assistance or even just additional help. It is this ability that has made me successful, as both a student teacher and substitute teacher, as it allowed me to ensure each student had the understanding of concepts before moving forward.Another challenge that I have noticed throughout my observation that as students it is easy to be overlooked. It is my mission to see that none of my students fall through the cracks and are provided the necessary remediation, distinction, and extension for success. One way I will help achieve that goal is to be the influential individual that I know I am. With this behavior, I will make sure that no student is left behind as we begin our trek up the mountain of education. And to help keep the students' enthusiasm about their education we will celebrate "wins" along the way.I look forward to this experience ahead and serving as a tutor for all future students.
Victor
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
As a formal graduate of the University of Central Florida, I completed two degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Mechanical Engineering. With this experience I hope to bridge the gap between technology and medicine as a future doctor. During my time in undergrad, I played an extensive role in leading study groups and helping my fellow students to learn tough course material. From my experience, I thoroughly enjoy teaching mathematics and organic chemistry and plan to tutor in pre-algebra/algebra for now, later picking up organic chemistry and Calculus. I strongly believe the method by which an instructor teaches material facilitates the student's understanding and thus every instructor should strive to connect to students at basic level. Thus, I make it a point of duty to simplify as much as possible during instruction. Outside of academia, my favorite pastimes are watching anime, gaming, and cosplay.

ACT Prep Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a software programmer who specializes in Python applications and some web design. I have a deep understanding of mathematics and how computers work, but software development also allows room for creativity and exploration of an endless supply of tools available online. I like to think I bring this versatility to every aspect of life, including tutoring. Another example of this is my affinity for realistic drawing; by using proportions and geometry to analyze a scene as well as incorporating different techniques,I am able to achieve the desired result.When I teach, I try to determine the best way that you learn and what you enjoy so that my approach will be best suited to you. I have found that enganging with a student and adapting to his/her skillset allows for the quickest path to growth and a mastery of the subject matter. I am extremely personable and patient and am willing to do what it takes to help you succeed.In my free time, I play intramural sports and golf, read science-fiction and mystery novels (i.e. Game of Thrones and Agatha Christie), listen to music and go to concerts, and am part of a competitive eSports team.
Kevin
Academic Coaching Tutor • +28 Subjects
I'm a University of Texas at Austin graduate with a BSA in Biochemistry. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science, specifically, I excel at Biology, Chemistry, and any math courses up to Multivariable Calculus.My teaching philosophy is that an excellent teacher should show students where to look, and allow them the opportunity to make realizations and learn. As a person I'm very calm and collected, this shows in my teaching style as I'm extremely patient and have no issues repeating key concepts or explaining things in a different manner.Outside of academics, I enjoy playing tennis, having played at the varsity level at my high school, and more recently I've become interested in Ultimate frisbee. I played two years during my college career and was the captain for one of those years, and still often play at a recreational level.Hopefully, I can help you understand those few things that are giving you a hard time today!

Frequently Asked Questions
Admissions committees want essays that reveal something authentic about who you are as a person and thinker, not just your credentials. The strongest essays typically feature a clear narrative or argument, specific examples that illustrate your point, and genuine reflection on why law school matters to you. They avoid clichés, demonstrate self-awareness, and show how your background or experiences have shaped your perspective on justice, problem-solving, or service.
A tutor can provide detailed feedback on your writing that goes beyond surface-level editing—they'll help you identify patterns in how you argue, where your authentic voice shines through, and areas where you're relying on overly formal or generic language. Through revision cycles and targeted discussion, tutors help you find the balance between demonstrating intellectual rigor and maintaining a natural, compelling tone. This personalized guidance is especially valuable because your essay voice should feel distinctly like you, not like a template.
Your personal statement typically focuses on a formative experience or aspect of your identity that shaped who you are, while a diversity essay explores how a specific background has influenced your perspective. A 'Why Law' essay directly addresses your motivations for pursuing a legal career and what you hope to accomplish. Tutors can help you develop a strategy for how these essays work together to create a complete picture of you as an applicant, ensuring each essay serves a distinct purpose without excessive overlap.
Strong law school essays typically follow a clear arc: an engaging opening that draws readers in, a developed middle section that unfolds your story or argument with specific examples, and a conclusion that ties your narrative back to your goals or values. Whether you're telling a personal story or making an argument about why law appeals to you, the structure should create momentum and help readers understand the significance of what you're sharing. Tutors can help you identify where your essay loses focus or where transitions between ideas feel abrupt, then work with you to strengthen the overall architecture.
Most strong application essays go through at least 3-5 meaningful revision cycles, though this varies based on where you're starting. Early drafts focus on getting your ideas and story down; middle drafts involve restructuring for clarity and impact; final drafts refine language, tone, and polish. Working with a tutor can accelerate this process by giving you targeted feedback on each draft rather than revising in isolation. They can help you identify which revisions will have the biggest impact, so you're not endlessly tweaking but strategically strengthening your essay.
Students often fall into patterns like being too formal or abstract (saying what they think admissions wants to hear rather than what's true), trying to cover too much ground (resulting in a scattered essay with no clear focus), or relying on generic phrases about the law and justice. Other common issues include weak openings that don't grab attention, insufficient specific examples to support claims, and endings that merely restate the introduction. Tutors are experienced at spotting these patterns and helping you move beyond them through targeted revision.
Writer's block on application essays often stems from pressure to make the essay perfect from the start or uncertainty about what story to tell. Tutors recommend starting with free writing or brainstorming exercises where you explore potential topics without worrying about quality, then reviewing what emerges to identify the most compelling threads. A tutor can help you generate and evaluate story ideas, ask clarifying questions that help you discover what you want to say, and create a manageable outline so you're writing with direction rather than staring at a blank page.
