Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving Schaumburg, IL

I have 9 years of University level teaching experience in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. I love tutoring people because it helps keep key concepts fresh in my head. Not everything you learn in school will be used, but some of it will be! And you don't know which parts until much much later. I focus on imparting understanding to my students. I detest rote memorization. Conceptual understanding will help you ace tests in this...

...amazed by the questions students ask me that urge me to keep learning. I also enjoy tutoring en Espanol which I learned from my parents growing up and continued to learn throughout high school. My tutoring philosophy is: the struggle is good! So often we students get frustrated learning difficult concepts. When we embrace the struggle and work hard, true learning happens and it feels so good! I want to help students push through that...

...for the past few years, I learned to become a supportive, flexible, and resourceful educator. I understand each student is unique, and believe every student can reach their full potential with the right assistance. I deeply care if the students really understand the materials or new concepts, and always encourage them to not give up. I have taken advanced level science classes such as genetics, organic chemistry, etc. Also, I have taken an educational course...

...the experience of being a student and a tutor, I have learned the unique challenges the science student encounters. As a student athlete in both high school and college, I understand the difficulties of time management and the importance of maintaining success in the classroom. Attending a small college allowed my passion for biology and chemistry to flourish through the close relationships I made with my peers and professors. I bring this hands-on approach I...

...my own experience, it has been my mentors who have lifted me up and inspired me to work harder, learn from my failures, and believe in myself. I hope to be a guiding presence in the life of my students, helping them achieve their goals while developing their academic prowess. I earned my B.S in Molecular, Cell, Developmental Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, my M.S in Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine...

Hey there! My name is Arianna. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and moved to Miami, FL at a young age. I attended college for two years before transferring to the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor where I earned my B.S. in Biomolecular Science. I am currently a high school chemistry teacher in the city of Chicago. I love to help others and tutoring is a way to have a small impact on such an...

...an Emergency Department Technician while I prepare to go to graduate school to become a Physician Assistant. I love to learn and enjoy helping others find the satisfaction in growing and achieving their goals through learning. I believe it's important to learn the student's preferred learning style (visual/tactile/auditory) and adjusting the material to match the style. One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

I graduated Washington University in St. Louis in 2018 with a Biology major and Healthcare Management minor. I am currently a 4 th year medical student at University of Illinois with a more relaxed schedule until June of 2023. I believe in the philosophy of being a life-long learner and I enjoy helping others better understand and enjoy material. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, chess, watching NBA and attending house music concerts.

Hi! I am Marybeth. I received a B.S. in Biology as well as a M.S. in Biotechnology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Science is fun and I like to help others be excited about it as well! I am currently pursuing a DMD/PhD at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, anticipating to graduate in 2019.

...Chicago with a PhD in Chemistry/Chemistry Education Research from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have enjoyed teaching at the college level as a TA in many chemistry courses and have privately tutored high school chemistry, algebra, geometry, physics, financial literacy, and test prep (ACT, SAT, SAT Chemistry Subject Test). When I am not conducting research or tutoring, you can find me being a mentor for Science Club at the Boys and Girls Club,...

...really is my passion and nothing gets me more excited as an educator than having a student tell me they are excited about the material. Unfortunately, however, chemistry is often perceived to be impossible to understand and completely irrelevant. My goal 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...

I was introduced to VT by a friend. I love interacting with students and share my knowledge with them, watch them learn subjects and succeed. I enjoy the results that we get out of our shared effort.

...find out the relationship between variables under different conditions! Tutoring for me is as much about grounding the material in useful topics as it about explaining the mechanics that underlie the material. Sure you could memorize all the formulas in the world for that trigonometry test, or you can learn what those sin() and cos() symbols really mean and derive the formulas on the fly! Contact me if you want to engage with the material!...

...is to eliminate fear through consistency. As an alumnus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology has exposed me to a rigorous curriculum that has prepared me to take on the challenges most young students have academically. Aside from that, I have over 4 years of tutoring experience in the sciences, math, and reading between elementary, high school, and even college environments. Thank you for taking the time to...

...intellectual disabilities, ADHD and OCD. My goal is to understand the individualistic learning strategies associated with those I tutor. It's important to figure out what works best for a particular person so that they're truly grasping the information they need to succeed academically.

...departmental and university level for my work as a TA. I'm excited to tutor students of all levels in chemistry! In my mind, succeeding in chemistry isn't about memorizing equations or reactions. Chemistry is learning a new language. It's mastering a new way of approaching the world. My focus when tutoring is to help students break through the barriers when speaking this new language! When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy playing Pokemon, going...

...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 the University to raise my children. In sum, I would say that I love to teach people what I know, and I do so after having...
