Brendon

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a Computer Science-Statistics and Psychology double major at Columbia University. I have been a tutor for three years, specializing in college-bound high school students and middle school children. While I have experience tutoring many subjects, my favorites are Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. I did not discover my passion for these subjects until college (I was admitted to Columbia as pre-law for my writing), and I wish I had been exposed to the fun aspects of these subjects at younger age. Often we are discouraged from science and math while young by phrases like "I'm just not a math person," when the reality is that everybody learns math differently. These subjects are my favorite to tutor because it is incredibly rewarding to facilitate a previously-struggling student's confidence and understanding.

Anna-Louise

Academic Coaching Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a current graduate student at the University of Chicago studying clinical social work with a concentration in pediatric psychiatry. I received my Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Franklin and Marshall College. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I started tutoring elementary and middle school students when I was in high school and continued to tutor when I was in college. Additionally, when I was in college I worked for an organization where I advised three high school students through the entirety of the college application process. Currently, I am a social work intern in the department of psychiatry at Lurie Children's Hospital. I have experience working with young people who encompass a wide range of learning abilities and I am sensitive to the unique needs that may pose a challenge to a student's learning. I am comfortable tutoring a variety of different subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring psychology, English, and science. I strongly believe in fostering an environment where the student feels supported and encouraged in the learning process.

Rohan

ACT English Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am currently an undergraduate student who is part of the Honors College at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Science Degree in Neuroscience with a Minor in Music. I am available to tutor students in a large variety of subjects , but I especially enjoy serving as a tutor for mathematics or science-related disciplines. In the past, I have had 2-3 years of experience (online and in-person) tutoring numerous high school students in disciplines as Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. Even when not formally serving as a tutor, I have always felt inclined to provide other students with advice concerning time management skills and studying tips to ensure their prospective academic success.I also enjoy to serve as a test-prep tutor, particular for the ACT and various AP tests. I believe these tests have large implications upon determining one's aptitude for success in college, and, thus, I believe that their importance should not be undermined. Personally, I have also participated as a student in ACT-prep classes to become better educated on useful test-taking strategies and tips. Relatedly, I am also willing to provide advice to younger high school or middle school students regarding how to adapt to college academics, or, in more general terms, college life.As a tutor, I believe it is most vital to be persistent and patient when helping other students. I strive to employ a more independent-tutoring approach, in which I attempt to help a student as sparingly as possible as to allow a student to arrive at a solution mostly on his/her terms. For me, learning and problem-solving require individual insight and reasoning, and, thus, my job as a tutor will encompass helping a student comprehend basic/underlying conceptual principles so that the student can arrive at an answer as independently as possible. Additionally, as a tutor, I will impart knowledge stressing the importance of time management and balancing skills on academic prosperity, and, also, I will attempt to make learning more enjoyable by connecting what a student is being taught to real-world applications.In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing baseball and tennis, singing, playing the Alto Saxophone, playing the Guitar, and going to the movies.

I am a 2020 graduate of Northwestern University with a BA in Cognitive Science and Linguistics. I have previously tutored at Mathnasium, and during my senior year at NU I was a tutor for student-athletes on campus.
