I hail from the greater Chicago area, and I am a senior at 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 great to ask questions, and perfectly okay to not quite get it at first.

I have been tutoring since high school, when I tutored students in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Chemistry. Since then, I have tutored for four years at the college level in both German and Music Theory/Aural Skills. I have also twice co-taught an intensive one-month long German 101 course, where I designed the lesson plans, and graded homework, quizzes and tests.I am a great tutor because of my broad experience in tutoring many different subjects, so that I have a wide variety of approaches to help all types of students master the material. I also believe that, in my German tutoring especially, I'm very systematic, so that my students have a strong grammar foundation on which to build further skills and concepts. I have also lived in Germany for a year, and am able to bring world-life experiences into tutoring sessions, so that I can instill in my students a desire to learn more of the German language through a glimpse of what is possible once one has a basis in the language. I also have taken German Diction classes because of my background in vocal performance, and this means that I am especially adept at dealing with difficulties in pronunciation, or when students are having trouble hearing the difference between those pesky umlauts!

I am currently finishing my M.A. in English at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. I am excited to help you reach your goals-- whether that is preparation for testing, or working towards a better grade in a troubling class. I can't wait to work with you!

As a teacher and graduate student, I have the background and the teaching ability to impart other students with the skills and knowledge they need to improve their academic performance. This past year I taught 9th grade geology and 10th grade chemistry at Tilden High School in Chicago and volunteered to serve as a tutor for underprivileged students in Revive’s Homework Help Program. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Economics in May 2013 and am currently a graduate student in the Master of Arts in Mathematics Education (Ma.M.Ed.) program at Depaul University. My background in math, along with my teaching and tutoring experience, will allow me to help my students understand the content of their coursework and develop analytical abilities. I'm a former basketball player and am currently an assistant coach for Tilden High School's varsity basketball team. My other hobbies include music, movies, and football.

I love working with students! I love learning about students' interests and making tutoring sessions as meaningful and engaging as possible. Working through challenging subjects like reading portions of the ACT or math can actually be fun. We can learn a lot about ourselves through these experiences.I bring a love of music and sports and travel to the work I do. Honestly, everything we do can be an adventure if we approach it with the right attitude and perspective. I believe with the right support and guidance we can overcome just about any challenge we are presented with.I graduated with a Master's from DePaul University this past June with honors. I was the kid who barely squeezed out of high school. I get the struggles. But we have all the resources we need to overcome them!

Hello, I have a masters degree in biology and work in the biotech industry as a research scientist.I have lived all over the country, which has been a great experience. I attended undergrad at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Then, I completed an AmeriCorps program working in a hospital in Los Angeles, California. I then attended graduate school at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois.While in graduate school, I was a TA and helped several undergrads in biology. I have found that several students have the potential to do well in school. The problems they face can be due to a variety of reasons, and one-on-one tutoring is a great way to help students figure out what those problems are and find out how to master the material.Aside from my math and science interests, I enjoy hanging out with family/friends, reading, movies, traveling, and I'm down for trying almost anything. I also love dogs and have recently adopted my own puppy - a tri-colored, rough coat collie - and I'm having a great time raising him.

I am a graduate from Southern Illinois University and DePaul university. From SIU I obtained a Bachelor in Arts for Math Education. From DePaul I obtained my Master in Arts for Math Education. I can tutor with all things math related and I have worked with many students from varying degrees of ability and from grades 3rd - College. While tutoring I do my best to make sure you fully understand the material given. I am a firm believer that everyone can do math you just need to learn how. In my spare time I like to read comics and books, do DIY projects around the house, watch TV shows or play video games.

Learning can sometimes be a challenge. However, I believe that with a bit of creativity and a fresh approach any subject can present an engaging and satisfying opportunity for growth. I've been living in Detroit since I finished my masters program at DePaul University in Chicago in 2011. My tutoring experience started while I was in the Marines from 2001-2005; I frequently had to help some of the troops out with all kinds of topics, ranging from personal finance to hydraulics. After serving, I dedicated myself to helping returning veterans get situated with their GI Bill benefits and application essays. I respect those who seek knowledge and personal improvement and I believe that it is my responsibility to honor that by creating customized, learner-centered, multi-modal educational offerings for my students. I look forward eagerly to working with you.

"You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself."GalileoI received my undergrad education from DePaul University.

I primarily work with those that need help with American History, English, and Social Studies. I absolutely love American history, especially the history of the formation of our government.I would describe my tutoring style by expanding on the quote at the top of my page. "You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself." I really believe the desire to learn comes from within, especially when unfamiliar topics are tied with things in the real world. I try to reinforce these connections.Outside of work and school, I love to play video games and stay active. I love lifting weights and playing basketball and try and find time to join competitive rec leagues when I can.

Since high school, I have always found ways to reach out and further my love for mentoring and teaching. Throughout the school year, I am a mentee for a Chicago Public school child which has definitely benefited my teaching skills. As a military kid, I understand that every child grasps concepts in diverse ways and has a unique set of skills.

Hello! My name is Haile and I am a current graduate student studying mental health counseling at Adler University. As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have worked as an Elementary School Teacher’s Assistant working with children from pre-school age through fifth grade. As a teacher's assistant, I gained valuable experience planning and organizing classroom activities as well as ensuring that older students received adequate tutoring and homework help. This position equipped me with the skills to think quickly on my feet and organize a group of students.

Hello! My name is Phoebe (she/they) and I am recent graduate from DePaul University with a Bachelors of Art. My degree specialized in art and marketing, but I have extensive experience in writing and reading comprehension. My writing has been published across many platforms, including online blogs and physical magazines.My background in teaching has been brief but extraordinarily rewarding. I have taught remotely at Norris, Marrs, and McMillan Middle Schools in Omaha, Nebraska, where I devised lesson plans and instructed classrooms for after school programs in art and entrepreneurship. My biggest accomplishment does not lie with the lessons themselves, but with connecting with each student on a personal level. I believe that in writing, communicating your own unique voice through word is of the upmost importance, and it is my goal as a tutor to help that voice shine. bell hooks once wrote in 'Teaching to Transgress,' "As a classroom community, our capacity to generate excitement is deeply affected by our interest in one another, in hearing one another's voices, in recognizing one another's presence." This is the standard that I hold myself to in education.

I'm a lifelong educator, former professor and counselor who believes in the importance of fostering and cultivating individual strengths and interests in order to address areas of need.

Watching clients reach their goals in front of your eyes makes working in the fitness industry exciting. The tests are difficult but manageable and I can help you see where you need to focus your attention to pass the exams.

I first started tutoring general chemistry almost 3 years ago. I prefer to first get to know and understand my students, so I can understand where they need the most focus. From there I make a specialized plan to get them to understand the material, and explain it very simply and thoroughly. My teaching style closes mathces how I teach myself material, and will facilitate students learning independently in the future.In June 2015 I graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry. I am currently pursuing a Master in Chemical Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, with an expected graduation date of May 2017.My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and chemistry. I use these almost every day and know them well. My hobbies and interests outside of tutoring include reading, video games, going to shows, and going out with friends.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their drawing abilities by breaking down techniques into clear, approachable steps. With 3 years of experience being an instructional assistant, I supported students in small group settings. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to grow, experiment, and enjoy the creative process.

My goal is to assist students in what they find most difficult to help them achieve their goals. I enjoy getting to know a student's personal interests and hobbies. In doing so, I will get to know their learning preferences and get to use references or analogies to what they already know and use on a regular basis.

I am a graduate from DePaul university with a master's degree in physics. It was there that I had my first experiences with teaching. I worked as a teaching assistant for a full year, during which I helped teach a full introductory physics sequence. I enjoy teaching because it allows me to communicate with students about physics and examine the material from new angles. My style of teaching involves discussion rather than lecture, and it encourages students to form conclusions themselves. Being presented outright with solutions to difficult problems is extremely ineffective and the information is unlikely to be retained. By encouraging students through insightful questions and hints, an effective teacher can allow those students to reach conclusions on their own and develop an understanding of how things work. Along the way, I supplement my lessons with as many visual aids and practical demonstrations as possible, to ensure that learning is enjoyable, even while being challenging. As of now, the only subject I am qualified to teach is physics, however I have extensive knowledge of mathematics and programming and I would be open to learning to tutor in those subjects someday. Outside of academia, I enjoy music, having played piano for most of my life, and travelling. I also have a great interest in astronomy, with that being the main focus of the research projects I was a part of during my education.

I'm Marcello Schiappa, a mathematics major at DePaul University, and I am passionate about helping students navigate the complexities of math. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects ranging from algebra and geometry to multivariable calculus and statistics. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering deep comprehension rather than rote memorization; I break down challenging concepts into manageable parts and encourage students to engage with the material through guided questioning and visual methods. I understand the anxieties that often accompany math learning, and I strive to transform that anxiety into confidence and understanding. My goal is to empower students to tackle new problems independently, equipping them with the skills they need for academic success.
