...flexible enough to have more than one way to solve many problems, and Statistics because it uses data to help decide on the best course of action. My tutoring style is laid-back and intense at the same time: laid-back because I am quiet; a musician, not an athletic coach. My style is also intense as I am very serious about solving Math problems and being sure that my answer is right. I love Math and...

...Math 2 , Math 3 and Pre Calculus . I have also substituted in various classes including Geometry , Algebra 2 , Statistics and Calculus. In my style of teaching I am open to various deliveries including direct instruction or activities and games that may help the student. The most important thing is for the student to hopefully understand and learn the topic and whatever way is best for them I am willing to do.

...year, and ended in the top 10% of my graduating class. After my first year at the University of Illinois at Chicago, I received at 3.30 GPA. In addition, I have worked as a Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Intern for the past three summers, starting in the summer of 2014.

...in Chicago, and am currently working on obtaining my mechanical engineering degree at Georgia Institute of Technology. During my time in high school I was in many academic clubs including robotics and science olympiad. During this time I also mentored a younger robotics team. My engineering track gives me a lot of experience working in both math and science courses, and since I am actively working in this area I have constant practice with the...

...ecosystem management and reducing the harmful effects of pollutants in the environment. As an aspiring engineer, my favorite subjects to teach students are math and science. I've been working with kids as a swim instructor and music teacher for the past six years now. As I've begun developing experience tutoring students, my favorite part about helping students learn math and science concepts is teaching them how these different concepts interconnect and later helping them to...

I'm an actuary born and raised in Illinois. I went to school in Chicago and majored in Applied Mathematics. I have learned the value of learning the lessons of those that have traveled paths before me. I hope to carry their tradition. For fun, I play strategy games and ultimate frisbee.

...experience as I learned that not everyone learns the same way. Education is very personal and the younger students I taught had their own way of picking up concepts. It was something I had to learn in the process. Generally, I feel like this made me a better student because when working in groups, we need to understand each others dynamic and how we take in information. Knowing this ultimately leads to a more successful...

...to help out as well as a way for me to stay sharp with tricky subjects. I believe that teaching is the best way to reinforce knowledge and master material. We all learn in different ways and I think that identifying our strengths and weaknesses as learners can help us succeed as well as know when to ask for help. Certain subjects and the methods by which they are delivered may not fit the learning...

...like to take advanced concepts and explain them in simpler terms for my students to gain a complete conceptual understanding. I tend to use many analogies and consider my tutor sessions as "discussions." My overall goal is to provide a thorough explanation of difficult concepts, as well as make learning a fun experience for my students so that they're better motivated to learn in the future. Currently, I'm a 19-year-old undergraduate studying biology at Lewis...

...it comes to solving trigonometry problems, algebra equations, or geometry proofs. I am passionate about teaching students and providing meaningful, consistent connections with my students. With my experiences in tutoring, I have gained great confidence in my teaching style and how I approach students with various backgrounds differently. I believe that education is a ticket to social and economic equality; at Varsity Tutors, it will be my duty to understand how to make a difference...

...(think developing robots like Boston Dynamics or designing algorithms that allow rockets to land on their own like SpaceX.) I also am a member of Northwestern's solar car racing team, NUSolar, and I am the academic chair for the Tau Delta chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. In my experiences as a student I have realized how important it is to have individuals that are able to help as you progress through school, especially...

...understand the material, and explain it very simply and thoroughly. My teaching style closes mathces how I teach myself material, and will facilitate students learning independently in the future. In June 2015 I graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry. I am currently pursuing a Master in Chemical Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, with an expected graduation date of May 2017. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and chemistry. I...

...individual's questions on problems they missed, and providing one-on-one mentoring for students to analyze the trends in their errors and give suggestions on key words or problem structures that improved their performances in later practice tests. Past students have commended me for my ability to explain concepts clearly and concisely while being patient and engaging at the same time. I find great fulfillment in helping build younger students to their full potential as it really...

...gained a high degree of proficiency. In math and physics, despite being ultimately able to reach a high level, I was never the first to pick up on any new concept but struggled through each one to understand. I still remember the conceptual hoops one needs to jump through in order to learn the material. I have a more personal approach and like to explain things so they are simple. Working with me will be...

...the University of Illinois at Chicago working towards a Master in Medical Physiology. Since graduation, I have worked remotely for my lab that studies child development and applying to medical school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about psychology and biology. My previous work experiences have included working as a teacher assistant at a preschool, a residential mentor at a high school academic summer program, and volunteering teaching science...

...I fundamentally differ in approach. For every student that I tutor, there are not just tricks to be learned on a test, but there are concepts and ideas to be understood. My approach has always been a blend of strategy and relationship. To solely teach technique is to strip the student of any ability to tackle original problems. To merely focus on concepts is to starve a student of the efficiency needed to demonstrate skills...

...As a student myself, I understand the many struggles of other students like me and I tailor my teaching styles to meet these needs. As someone who feels very strongly about our current education system, I've become strongly motivated to change the status quo by reaching as many students as I can through tutoring/teaching. As an aspiring physicist, mathematician, or maybe both, I wish to make these subjects fun and interesting like how I perceive...

I am currently a J.D. candidate at law school. Last year, I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Engineering at The Ohio State University. Throughout my undergrad, I tutored a variety of students mostly in math and science from grade 4-12. I had a tutor during grade school that helped me fall in love with science and math, so I hope I can do the same for you! Outside of academia, I love to golf,...

...National Park Service in Alaska backpacking across remote national parks including Katmai, Bering Land Bridge, and Kobuk Valley completing field work and reports for the park service. I tutor a wide variety of subjects and am most passionate about natural sciences, math, and ArcGIS. I've always enjoyed prepping for standardized tests (ACT, GRE) and hope to help all my students reach score beyond their targets. I believe there is no single correct way to go...
