...school subjects (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, and Finite Math) and prepared students for the ACT, SAT, SAT subject tests, AP exams, and college placement exams. When tutoring, I will start by showing students good examples and all the steps, but by the end of the session, the student...

...such as bedrock, wood, and all of the tools. I also have tutored middle school and high school math as well as reading comprehension, getting high SAT math and reading scores in the 700s range for students as they are the foundation of SAT material. I am looking forward to meeting you!

...one-to-one tutoring, class lecturing, and informal group settings. I can tutor all math sections up to differential equations. Many chemistry and physics topics and almost all biology subjects. I can also tutor for the Phys/Chem, Bio/Biochem and Psych/Soc sections of the MCAT. (scored 130/129/129) I am excited to help you understand science and math subjects well...

All learning is connected. Everyone learns differently; the main objective is to identify each pupils "learning style" and tailor lessons to meet each pupil where they are.

...others achieve and surpass their own personal goals. I aim to motivate students while teaching them to be intrinsically motivated through challenging yet supportive lessons and assignments. While at Northwestern, I conducted research in microgravity with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. My photo is from a parabolic flight on NASA's "vomit comet."... My teaching philosophy is centered around making students more efficient learners, which aids in helping them to achieve their academic goals.

I have a great passion for helping others with all of their math troubles. I love teaching students of all ages and with any type of math. When I'm not tutoring/teaching I enjoy going for long walks to enjoy the outdoors, going to the movies, and of course, binge-watching Netflix.

I am currently pursuing my B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering in college. I have been tutoring for over four years now working with students in various fields ranging from math and science to standardized testing! I love tutoring and will make it my goal to make sure I give you the tools to achieve yours!

...it easy to engage with students. I also like to stress understanding. I remember the 1973 movie, "The Paper Chase", and the memorable performance by John Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield.

I have tutored math up to Calculus AP; English Writing, Reading Comprehension and College Essay instruction; Science through AP Physics; and test preparation for GRE, ACT, SAT as well as state-mandated tests in Illinois and Michigan. Finally, I majored in and am pursuing...

...students with programming classes. I graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Minor in Mathematics. I tutor Math (including Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus) and Computer Science, and I especially enjoy teaching Programming because it empowers students to build solutions creatively. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and focused on...

...band practices for middle school students. With research experience across four labs at the university and national level, I am passionate about STEM and enjoy opportunities to show the real-world applications of different subjects.
