Wendy
Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +7 Subjects
I graduated with a degree in Biological Sciences, a minor in chemistry and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I have been teaching science for 15+ years. II am passionate about helping students learn how they learn best and to give strategies for success. I have worked with all levels of students and develop a learning approach catered to the individual's learning style.I have taught and tutor Anatomy and Physiology, AP Biology, Biology, Chemistry and Honors Chemistry. I am very comfortable with teaching this material as well as helping students with study strategies.My teaching style aims to meet the student where they are at, develop a plan and utilize different learning modalities in order to achieve a student's perception of success. I like to use humor, real life examples and have a good balance between working hard and enjoying the subject. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my four kids, outdoor activities, and reading.
Ellen
Art Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a graduate of Northeastern Illinois University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with Middle School endorsement in three areas. Plus, I am a certified art teacher. Since graduation, I have worked in all realms of education including teaching and tutoring with students of multiple ages and ability levels. While I tutor a broad range of subjects such as elementary reading and math, I am most passionate about art. In my experience, motivating students with positivity and using scaffolded support (building on what they know and beyond) makes for success. I am a firm proponent of lifelong learning and differentiation in regards to meeting needs of specific learners. I am a reliable and steadfast educator who is dedicated to teaching concepts to bring out your student's full learning potential!

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Chicago with B.A.s in economics and philosophy. I have extensive experience tutoring students of all ages as I have worked at Kumon with kids aged 6-15, taught financial literacy at a high school (14-18), tutored in the SAT, and tutored college students (18-20). I specialize in tutoring in the SAT as I have extensive test prep experience and test taking strategies. I believe that practice makes perfect and my method includes doing practice problems and learning concepts and strategies along the way if students have problems in specific areas. Outside of academics, I enjoy powerlifting, exercising, and cooking. I'm passionate about education and love working with students.

Smith
ACT Prep Tutor • +47 Subjects
I am a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University with a BA in Theatre Arts, specializing in Performance and Playwriting. I have a long history of both professional and informal tutoring, including a year working as an ACT classroom instructor with Kaplan Test Prep, six months tutoring both the ACT and academic subjects with StudyPoint, and three years tutoring college-level writing. As my major suggests, I am enthusiastic about all the performing arts, including both on- and offstage areas. I also have extensive experience teaching (and practicing!) creative endeavors from poetry and fiction writing to music composition and performance. Just don't ask me to draw any hands! Despite my professional focus on liberal arts, I also have a keen amateur interest in science, primarily in physics (A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking was my introduction) but also in chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology.My teaching style is based upon the premise that knowing how to think is much more useful than knowing what to think. My sessions are characterized by frequent questions and discussion of basic concepts, making sure that each student understands not just the "what" but the "why" of each topic so that each new concept builds on the last. I strives to foster independence and a love of learning in all of my students, beginning with myself; it's always easier to remember concepts that were fun to learn!
Elizabeth
Accounting Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a Chicago based CPA who has loved accounting since taking my first course at age fifteen. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago and now currently am working towards my Master's in Business Education. Tutoring accounting is something I find a lot of joy in, because the concepts are applicable to everyone's lives and can benefit the way we understand the language of business. College Accounting and CPA-AUD are my favorite subjects to work with students on.
Sarah
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +28 Subjects
I enjoy working with students of all ages on various subjects. I have previously tutored students from pre-K to college age in subjects ranging from pre-reading/phonics skills, language arts, basic Spanish and study skills to high level math and college test prep.I have a bachelor's in elementary education with endorsements in early childhood and reading and a minor in general business. I have taught eight grade, fourth grade, kindergarten and pre-school. My favorite part about teaching is watching those "aha" moments as students grasp a new or difficult concept for the first time. I enjoy working with students one-on-one to find what works best for each student to help them learn in the way that most benefits and makes sense to that student.I look forward to the opportunity to tutor all students in many subjects and share my strengths with others.
Ingrid
ACT Writing Tutor • +48 Subjects
As a QuestBridge Scholar and an undergraduate biomedical engineering student at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Education has always been a very important factor of prosperity of different countries throughout the world. That is why I believe that education is the most important sphere of peoples activity, because it stores peoples knowledge.Education is the bridge between past achievements and the future ones. Moreover, education is the only way for the people to move forward, because it is the background for science developing, hence its a highway to new discoveries and personal developing. Today we face the world of rapid changes, requiring even more knowledge than it used before. We need to learn new things during the entire life not to fall behind of the progress.I understood the crucial importance of education in high school. Being inspired by my teachers, I decided to devote my life to teaching, helping others learn a new language and developing new techniques of learning, which could be helpful for the students all over the world. As a College Admission Counselor I believe this every time I help someone.
