...with an emphasis in Immunology. I also received a BA in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. Throughout my schooling I have had experience tutoring/teaching my colleagues in both group and one-on-one settings. What I have learned is no student learns material the same way. It takes dialogue between tutor, students, and parents to determine the best plan of action for the student to attain their academic goals. I...

...understanding that standardized tests are logic games, that they test nothing outside what you have already learned in school. The rub comes from the presentation, that standardized tests are designed as puzzles. There are rules and operating procedures to be followed, and if those rules and operating procedures are followed, you can improve your scores. This all boils down down to what the student wants from the test and the following school experience. As such,...

I recognize the significance of interaction and dialogue within teaching; something I learned from working at Kumon. I tutored students during the summer and the holidays.

...Culture. Additionally, I have taught Reading Support classes for 9th and 10th grade and 9th grade English. As a French teacher, I stress communication as the main goal of language-learning. I believe it is key that students are able to communicate with native speakers of French.

...DePaul University studying Computer Science and Game Development. While programming is exciting to me, one of my other passions is teaching the math and science subjects that accompany Computer Science. I learned very early on that it wasn't the material that was most essential to learning, but it is the proper learning environment that really pushes students to do their best. That is the goal of my tutoring sessions: to create an environment where it's...

I am dedicated towards helping students reach their...

...young child, I had an intense passion for history and the language arts. I would spend hours researching different types of events, cultural figures, plays, poems, art pieces, and history theories just to stimulate my curiosity about the past and its connections to the now. This passion led me to graduating from UIC with a degree in the Teaching of History. I now live to help others find that spark and passion in history and...

...my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry. In my free time, I like to bake, read, watch Netflix, and go hiking (especially with my dog). My specific teaching approach depends on the subject, but I like to really engage my students in that subject. When it comes to languages, that could mean watching or listening to media in that language or finding a fun book to read. In science or math, that could be running examples, either...
