Award-Winning Linear Algebra Tutors serving Des Plaines, IL

I'm a math major with a passion for technology. I've been tutoring in all kinds of math since high school. One of my favorite things is when a student finally understands a difficult concept after we approach it together from multiple angles.

...there, I went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the...

...gained three years of experience as an after school program tutor leading educational games and computer-based tutoring. Even though I have a strong background in English, I can also tutor elementary to middle school math. My favorite subject to tutor is Math because understanding the basics opens up a whole new world of numbers to explore. I am very patient so I don’t mind giving my students a moment to grasp a concept or describing...

...Urbana-Champaign, I am passionate about sharing my love for math and physics with students. With experience tutoring high school students in calculus and volunteering at a local grade school, I understand the importance of fostering a conceptual understanding before diving into problem-solving. My approach emphasizes connecting equations to underlying concepts, ensuring that students grasp the "why" behind the math, which can alleviate confusion. I am dedicated to helping students not only improve their grades but...

...way for everyone. Outside of academics, I'm a gamer that usually plays Pokmon Go and Minecraft for example. Those 2 are the main games that I play, but I also play other games. I do write a bit of poetry. I also program for fun, because there are certain projects I like to work on of my own. But I absolutely love robotics. I even went to see robots fight at the BattleBot arena in...

...I always loved math and science, and I've always wanted to share that love with other people around me. While in high school, I led a Python class at a computer camp and tutored many middle school and high school students in a wide range of subjects. I believe people learn best when they are engaged, so I prefer a balanced mixture of probing questions combined with straightforward lecturing. Furthermore, having watched thousands of hours...

I am a current Senior at the University of Michigan studying Financial Mathematics. I have tutored professionally for 2 years as well as independently for 3 years. I am tutoring math as well as basic C++. My teaching philosophy is to teach you how to learn rather than give you the answer. Outside of tutoring I love snowboarding, traveling, photography, and reading.

...and teaching. I also greatly enjoy Psychology, English, and other science classes as well. I am bilingual, speaking English and Russian, which has aided me in helping many students learn Spanish, as I can understand the process of learning a second language. I have experience working with students of all ages, from kindergarten though college. I used to teach figure skating to kids (both in group and one-on-one lessons) which has really helped me learn...

...spent many summers working as a Sailing Instructor. My last year I was Head Instructor at Rockland Community Sailing. This was especially rewarding for me, because this particular community sail program welcomed children of Youthlinks, a part of Broadreach Family and Community Services, aimed at serving underprivileged kids in the area. This program, and it's connection to us, allowed children who otherwise would have never have had a chance to step foot on a boat,...

...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 educating their child. In my experience, having the parents on board with the tutoring process dramatically improves the student rate of success. That's why I'm available 24/7 to the parents...
