Award-Winning Tutors in Oak Lawn, IL

...a master's degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Michigan. In addition to being a 4.0 student and a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship, I have extensive experience in scientific research and teaching at the middle school, high school, and university levels. After taking coursework in educational pedagogy in STEM, I am excited to help you maximize your potential in biology and beyond! I specialize in tutoring STEM disciplines as well...

...confidence. I know first-hand the distress and feeling of being lost that can come with learning an unfamiliar or challenging topic, so I prioritize building a solid foundation of knowledge before pushing on to new ideas. I am currently involved in astrophysics research with a professor at the University of Chicago and am in the process of applying to graduate school. Outside of teaching and learning math and physics, I enjoy thinking about philosophy, politics,...

I am currently at freshman at Northwestern University majoring in computer science. I tutored students in math throughout high school and would love to continue doing so!

...a degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Pre-Medicine. I enjoy teaching in all subjects, as I believe knowledge and instruction can improve anyone's chances of success. I am professional, well-informed, and willing to work with students and parents to determine how best to individualize their education to their strengths and weaknesses. I enjoy video games, hiking, swimming, and camping, and have learned through these activities that staying energetic, focused, and active are essential parts of my...

I have a laid back demeanor, and I try to make studying as stress-free and enjoyable. I will always answer your calls and texts and I'm great at responding to emergency "My problem set is due tomorrow?!?!" or "I have a test when?!" situations. I have a thorough knowledge of the Cornell...

...technology, and engineering subjects. As part of applying to undergraduate and graduate programs, I took several standardized tests, including the ACT, SAT, and GRE, as well as certain subject tests. I believe that no matter how much one believes they are well-versed in a subject, additional study and practice is always important. Aside from tutoring, I am a structural engineer with a global architecture/engineering firm and I enjoy biking, hiking, and baking.

I will teach in the most efficient manner possible and make sure that the student understands the material completely.

...the process of learning precedes the end goals-- that means that I focus on teaching students how to learn and to autonomize problem solving skills and processes they can apply to all problems rather than just helping them get the answer they need on a specific problem. This is the approach that my teachers used with me, and I've found it to be successful in teaching others as well. In fact, a student I tutored...

My goal is to help students to succeed academically. I have extensive experience with graduate entrance exams and can help students score higher on these exams thus creating more opportunities for them. I have taken the MCAT and all the USMLE exams.

I was introduced to VT by a friend. I love interacting with students and share my knowledge with them, watch them learn subjects and succeed. I enjoy the results that we get out of our shared effort.
