Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Gurnee, IL

...as a tutor is to ensure that when students leave my sessions, they see that neither of these perceptions is accurate. Specifically, I stress chemistry's role in and relatability to both their real lives and their future science classes and careers. To do this, I focus on the students' retention and understanding of the material...

...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 hold a BA in philosophy, theatre, and history from one of the top schools in the Midwest. Before that I was a national level debater at one of the top best programs in the country. Nowadays I'm a circus performer as well as a teacher/coach all around the city.

...and ancient Greek. Prior to that point, I taught high school Latin for two years. I have also tutored college students in writing. I am available to tutor most subjects, though my specialties are foreign language (German, Spanish, and Latin) and test prep. I teach by asking students the right questions so that they learn...

...Chicago. I attended Northwestern University as an undergraduate, and currently am in a graduate program. I recently took the MCAT and scored a 520. I will be applying to medical school in the upcoming cycle. In my free time, I enjoy going to the lake with my friends and playing video games.

...school to college, so in addition to an understanding of the material, I teach students soft skills such as time management, self-teaching, and discipline. I first became interested in tutoring during study sessions with my fellow peers. The coursework of a premedical student can be very challenging and I found I had a particular aptitude...

...have as much to learn from you as you have to from me. So let's do it! Let us learn and grow together! Of note, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Science degree in Bachelor of Science in Molecular-Cellular Biology and Chemistry. I am very passionate about science...

...and a love of teaching. I've also helped bring 2 great kids into the world who are now grown into successful adults, both college grads. In my free time, I do a lot of volunteer work with kids and education. I am also fluent in career search, social media, international business, and non profits.

...Working with others has also been a passion of mine for a very long time. During my time as an undergraduate student, I was involved on campus and served as the president of the Hillel on campus, an organization that serves the Jewish community. Additionally, as a pre-med student, I had many friends that I...

...at the high school, college, or post-grad level. I have taken coursework in neuroscience, biostatistics, physiology and anatomy, pharmacology, pathology, and microbiology. I was also a psychology major in undergrad (did a double major with my biology degree). I love psychology and I can help you with your college psych classes. I am strongest with...

...I passed my oral and written exams, and selected a thesis project of measuring oxygen isotope ratios in organic compounds in meteorites (to determine if these compounds came from interstellar space or were synthesized "locally.") Late in life, however, I was blessed with the birth of twins, James and Margaret, and I decided to leave...

...teaching philosophy is one that would benefit a wide variety of students with different backgrounds. I take an approach of making complicated concepts easier for students to understand and not only memorize but have a better understanding of what's going on. Being able to take ideas that one may think are pointless and being able...

...As for my tutoring career, I've been with VT for 5+ years now and tutor the stem disciplines. Chemistry, organic chem, biochem, and MCAT chemistry are my strengths. I also tutor calc 1,2, and 3, algebra, pre calc, and geometry. I'm proud to say I've maintained a 5 star review, and I'm confident I can...

...and Legal Studies. I graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. Although I eventually plan on obtaining my PhD in Anthropology/Archaeology, I am having a great time tutoring students and helping them reach their full potential in a wide range of subjects! I am also a licensed substitute teacher in the State of Illinois.

I enjoy working with a variety of students and believe that everyone is capable of learning difficult concepts. I work hard to find the best learning method for each student to ensure that they can learn in the method that is best for them.
