Emily

Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a licensed attorney in Illinois who primarily represents children in guardianship disputes as the Guardian ad Litem as well as low-income clients in a myriad of housing and family law related cases. I graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Philosophy in 2009. In May of 2014, I received my JD from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. I tutor Reading, Writing, History, Public Speaking, Standardized Test Prep, and am available to help with the college application process. Prior to law school, I assisted in the developing of curriculum for a homework help program at a community center in Chicago. I have always been passionate about how to best share and communicate ideas, whether written or spoken. My method for tutoring involves sharing this passion with students to better help them hone and express their own opinions.

Calculus Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am taking time to explore my lifelong interest in teaching. I began tutoring at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked for three years as a teaching assistant in a Cell Biology laboratory course. There, I enjoyed helping my peers understand the larger picture developing through our weekly experiments. At Loyola University Chicago, I continued to tutor a variety of subjects while earning a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences.

Astoria

Calculus Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

Viktor

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Outside of school/tutoring, I spend time volunteering for my university's annual Dance Marathon fundraiser, a member of Camp Kesem, working as a study group mentor, and I'm also into running and hiking. I look forward to tutoring y'all!

Ellie

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a 4th year student at The University of Chicago majoring in Economics. I recently completed all of my coursework and am now filling my time with the activities I most enjoy. One of these activities is teaching. At the beginning of this academic year, I joined an organization on campus that teaches juniors and seniors at a local high school about community engagement through the lens of philanthropy. Through this, I have the unique opportunity to empower students to become leaders in their community; to provide them a platform to change issues about which they are most passionate. This experience inspires my desire to educate young students; to provide them the tools to be leaders, whether that be in the classroom, on the playing field, or in their community. My time as a youth soccer coach and tutor of my little brother and his friends has further bolstered my love of teaching. Given my extensive experience and longtime passion for math and applied math subjects, I feel I can best help students seeking help in these areas, though I have experience in a broad range of subjects. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing soccer, basketball, guitar and piano, as well as cooking, hiking and listening to podcasts.

Sahibzada

Linear Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects

I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together

I'm fairly good at math. I love art and music and movies and make sure to spare some time for a good TV show once in a while. I'm plenty mature, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for cartoons. Learning and teaching are my lifelong passions, and it is this passion that I hope to impart to my students; I want to infect my students with the intellectual enthusiasm that has brought so many rewards to my own life. Hobbies: books, music, art, movies, reading, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects with students across Elmhurst's 21 schools and serves the full range of grade levels in the community. Whether your student attends an elementary, middle, or high school in Elmhurst, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and academic expectations they're working with.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1 in Elmhurst schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Tutoring provides the individualized attention that allows your student to ask questions freely, work at their own pace, and get targeted help on the specific concepts they're struggling with—something that's harder to achieve in a classroom setting.

Tutors who work with Elmhurst students are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the specific academic benchmarks your student needs to meet. Whether it's mastering grade-level math concepts, building reading comprehension skills, or preparing for state assessments, personalized tutoring helps bridge any gaps and ensures your student is on track with state expectations.

In the first session, the tutor will get to know your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific challenges. They'll discuss what your student is working on in their Elmhurst classroom and identify the best areas to focus on. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan tailored to your student's goals and needs.

Varsity Tutors connects Elmhurst students with tutors across all major subjects—including math, English, science, social studies, foreign languages, and test prep for standardized assessments. Whether your student needs foundational support, enrichment, or help preparing for AP or honors courses, we have tutors with expertise in the subjects Elmhurst students are studying.

We take time to understand your student's academic needs, learning style, and goals before making a match. Tutors in our network who work with Elmhurst students have relevant subject expertise and experience helping students at your student's grade level succeed. If a match isn't working, we can connect you with a different tutor at no extra cost.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families to find flexible scheduling and package options that fit different budgets. Many Elmhurst families start with weekly sessions and adjust as needed—there's no long-term contract required, so you can scale up or down based on your student's needs.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though timelines vary depending on the subject, your student's starting level, and how frequently they're meeting with their tutor. The key is consistency—regular sessions combined with practice between meetings tend to produce the fastest results. Your tutor will track progress and adjust their approach to keep your student moving forward.
