Award-Winning Tutors from DePaul University

I believe that everyone can learn, provided the teacher finds the proper channel through which to reach the students.I was born in Martinique, raised in Paris where I studied latin, Greek and philosophy. I have a DUEL from University of Paris X/Nanterre. I later moved to New York City and Chicago where I obtained a Bachelors in jazz Performance/Upright bass. I also graduated from DePaul University with a Masters in Education and from Vandercook College of Music with a Masters in Music Education. I have taught music in the chicago Public school system, as well as tutoring students of all ages in French, since it is my native language. I do miss speaking my language and I am still an avid reader of French literature, be it the classic or the most recent literature of the francophone world: Africa and the Caribbean.I am passionate about sharing my language and my culture and hope I can share this passion.

Greetings! I am Lizbeth Alanis I am 24 years old and I am an elementary education teacher to be. I am so excited to help you with anything that you need!

I'm an elementary special education teacher during the year. During the summer I would like to help students enhance their skills in an engaging manner.

I am a 2nd grade teacher and graduate student at DePaul studying Bicultural Bilingual education. I have experience with teaching, tutoring, nannying, and camp counseling. I am from Arkansas, but I am living in Chicago (Go Hawks!). Math is my favorite (and best) subject. I have also dabbled at voice and piano over the years. I look forward to working with you!

I am a professor of philosophy with over ten years teaching experience both in the U.S. and internationally. Currently I teach at a large university in Turkey. Prior to this I taught at a college in Slovakia as well as at a university in Chicago, IL, USA.I earned my Ph.D. in Philosophy at DePaul University in Chicago, my M.A. at The New School in New York City, and my B.A. with a double major in English and Philosophy at Trinity College in Hartford, CT.I am passionate about teaching and discussing philosophy and literature. I also love helping students (and even friends and family sometimes!) craft their arguments and writing in the ways they want. I believe everyone has the ability to become an excellent writer and thinker. Helping people learn how to do that is one of the joys of teaching for me, in part because I always learn something myself. Teaching is, I believe, helping people learn how to teach themselves.Outside of academia, I enjoy watching TV, movies, and sports, especially football, baseball, and soccer. I also like playing soccer and spinning as well as reading fiction, particularly detective novels.

Devoted instructor with outstanding knowledge of curriculum design and deep understanding of writing theory and pedagogy. Proven success in involving all types of students in secondary and college classrooms and working tirelessly for student success. Conscientious teaching professional dedicated to educating people in composition, literature, and performance courses. Committed to developing engaging curriculum to meet varied learning needs in diverse communities.

I'm a grad student at DePaul University, finishing my Masters in Physics. I did my undergrad at Loyola University Chicago where I received a degree in biophysics. I'm working towards applying to medical school. I love science and math, and have been tutoring for the past 7 years in math, science and English writing. I'm always excited to help and pass along the knowledge I've gained throughout my schooling to those in need of tutoring.

As a writing tutor and Composition and Literature professor at Wright College in Chicago for twelve years, I was dedicated to helping students at all stages of the writing process. I can help during the beginning stages when a writer may be confused about an assignment, all the way to the end when they need to polish an essay before submitting it, and all the moments in between. I cover a variety of topics and writing techniques, including thesis development, finding/citing sources, brainstorming, and proofreading for syntax, grammar, clarity, and tone. I have tutored students across the entire college curriculum, not just English: History, Biology, and even tech classes are well known to me. I also specialize in working with ESL students and high school students doing AP English Language and Composition. My educational background is a Master's degree from DePaul University in Writing and Publishing and a Bachelor's from the University of Illinois at Chicago in Creative Writing. My background, both as a student and a teacher and tutor, has led me to tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs. I want to create the best learning experiences I possibly can, and that means listening to what my students need!

I have always had a passion for literacy and multicultural education. During my tenure at DePaul University I completed an externship where I worked at a literacy center tutoring ESL student's and creating individualized education plans. I loved working with students at the literacy center and I felt a deep sense of accomplishment when I was able to help them accomplish their personal goals.I went on to obtain a Master of Education Degree and TEFL certification to help me transition into a teaching career and to prepare me to meet the educational needs of my students. While pursuing my education, I was a struggling single mother with a full-time job, and I was often stressed out and tired. However, I had a wonderful mentor who would encourage me and uplift my spirits when I felt like giving up. It is now my sincere desire to pay it forward. My personal goal is to always guide, uplift and teach my students they can accomplish anything with hard work and faith in themselves.

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.

As your tutor, I am here to help you reach your goals, no matter if you're shooting for a better ACT reading score or to conquer some tricky French conjugations. I will provide expertise in both English and French and use my tutoring experience and graduate studies in education to help you succeed.When working with a student, I aim to identify their learning style and strengths and use this information to maximize outcomes. My teaching strategies are flexible, allowing me to adapt to whatever my students bring to the table. I also believe in the power of setting goals. When students have a clear vision of what they hope to gain out of tutoring, sessions become more effective and students see results more quickly. Finally, I strive to take complex problems and make them simple for students, with clear explanations and helpful tips and tricks.In 2013, I graduated with honors from the University of Virginia with a double major in French and foreign affairs. While at UVA, I spent six months in Lyon, France, published a research paper in French, and took French graduate courses. As a foreign affairs major, I crafted research and response papers and earned excellent marks on my grammar and writing style. During my undergraduate years, I switched over from being my family's French tutor and English grammarian to a volunteer ESL tutor. For three years, I tutored refugees and French adults in English. In summer 2014, I was accepted to study language education at DePaul University. My goal is to ultimately become a secondary French and English language teacher.

I have a passion for teaching and I am currently finishing up my undergraduate degree in Sociology graduating with honors from DePaul University and have been accepted into a M.Ed. in Special Education program starting this June. I have years of experience tutoring in all subjects for elementary through middle school age groups. I want to provide your child with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in whatever subject they need help with. Though I can help with all subjects, I excel at Math, English, and Writing. I look forward to working with you and your children.

Writing clearly and efficiently is the key to effective communication. My warm and compassionate approach to tutoring empowers writers to use their resources, work within genre conventions and work through their own ideas in order to write so other people can pick up what they are putting down. Through the development of an understanding context, audience, and purpose one can learn how to master the ability to write well.

I am a friendly, punctual, and reliable instructor. I find teaching to be fulfilling and compelling work. I enjoy working with people, specifically assessing the needs of the student and assignment, while teaching the underlying skills needed to complete this type of work in the future. I am a professional homework helper.I write poetry and music professionally, so I am well equipped to teach the fundamentals of creativity and the joy of words. I also graduated with highest honors from DePaul University in 2005 with a degree in relational, group, and organizational theories of communication. During this time, I learned the grammar and mechanics of language, and the various methods necessary to write essays and research papers.Since then, I've been touring the world as a professional songwriter and musician. I have a passion for writing and listening to music, films, film editing, and writing and reading poetry. In 2014, I started tutoring students in essay writing and English for an online tutoring service. I have edited thousands of papers and taught students of all ages, from kindergarten to college level. I have gained the experience to be able to quickly and efficiently teach writing methods.

I have a Bachelors degree in history from DePaul University and am currently pursuing a Masters degree in data analytics. My blend of liberal arts with a computer science graduate degree has offered me the ability to understand technical subjects coincided with the ability to explain them with a strong verbal ability. I have experience coaching youth sports including ice hockey and flag football from ages 6-18. This has taught me valuable teaching skills that allow me to maximize my time with each student dependent upon their needs. I get great personal enjoyment spreading my interest in computer programming with young minds. In the ever increasingly automated economy, I'm confident that computer programming skills is one of the best antidotes to becoming an irrelevant participant in the workforce for the youth that will be adults in the 2030s, 2040s, and on. Being interested and staying up to date on current events in technology and computing allows me to stay on top of the programming trends and be able to differentiate between the up and coming technologies and skills versus the ones that are becoming complacent and replaced. I'm excited for the opportunity to help bring the knowledge and skills I've learned to youth in order to better equip them to become strong contributors when they reach adulthood. Let's get started!

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.

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 love to share my knowledge of the political process and my love for history and philosophy with others. Language is very important to me and I hate it when words are mispronounced and misspelled. My interests are singing, movies, history and television, as well as politics and current events.

In 2015 I graduated from DePaul University with a degree in Chemistry. During the course of my degree I taught multiple classes and was a walk-in tutor for the Science and Math learning center.In my years of being a teacher and a student I've found there is always more than one way to explain any given subject. Moreover,since everyone comes from a different background some explanations make more sense than others to different people. With me as your tutor I will find a way to explain science and math concepts that make the most sense to you.

I received my MBA from Northwestern University. I also have a PhD in physical chemistry from Northern Illinois University. Since graduation, I have over 20 years experience performing research and development and business consulting on a wide range of nuclear waste management, nanomaterial, and nanomedicine fields. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about chemistry, physics, biology, and math. In my experience helping struggling students is a matter of time and mentoring before they dominating a topic. I am a strong believer in preparing students in the science, technology, and engineering fields. In my spare time, I enjoy reading journals and viewing historic documentaries, music, and basketball.

"You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself."GalileoI received my undergrad education from DePaul University. I received my Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School, and I am currently working on my MBA from the University of Nebraska, with a concentration in Data Analytics.I have worked with kids as an ESL tutor, basketball coach, and writing counselor. 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.

I am a student at DePaul University currently working toward a Bachelors of Arts in Public Relations and Advertising with a minor in Journalism.

I also worked extensively as a tutor among high school age students during my time as an upperclassman. I specialize in literature, language arts, and writing. Currently, I hold a job as a Peer Writing Tutor at DePaul University's Center for Writing-based Learning. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to share my passion for learning and ensure that others are optimizing their educational experience. I encourage students to dig deep and form original ideas, rather than taking shortcuts. This way, lessons have a meaningful and lasting impact.

Hi! I'm Shelley and I LOVE to help students learn! I am a nurse and an educator! I can take tough topics and make them easy to understand-- I helped a family member bounce back from a TWO grade-level deficit in math and reading just by teaching her some great study skills and breaking down difficult subjects using examples she could understand. Learning is for life, and educating is my passion! I'm enthusiastic, imparting fun and humor into things that one may find otherwise mundane. I'm a masters degreed Registered Nurse with experience in the ICU, telemetry, cariolopulmonary, nephrology, urology, oncology, and primary care. I graduated from DePaul University with Presidential Distinction, and I was a full time professor at the College of Nursing at Purdue; now adjunct. In addition to hands on patient care and educating, I have managed large scale outpatient medical practices in a variety of specialty areas for over 20 years. I love what I do, and I'm here to help, so let's get started!

I teach Spanish at a local university, and have begun to offer tutoring services as well! I've lived in Spain, travelled to Latin America, and have 5 years of teaching experience, both in Spain and in the US.

I am a Junior at DePaul University working towards a Psychology degree. I love teaching and helping others around me, especially when it comes to writing and reading. 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. That is why I am willing to tackle a problem in various ways, whichever is best fit for the child to understand and truly know. I am very patient, eager, and motivated to building positive relationships and look forward to tutoring on this platform!

Hello! I'm Caleb. Recent graduate from DePaul University's College of Education, and a specialist in English, Language Arts, and Creative and Analytical Writing.My degree taught me invaluable skills and strategies that I look forward to putting to good use with my students!

As a tutor with over 4 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with students from diverse backgrounds and levels of academic ability. Throughout my career, I have developed particular expertise in standardized test preparation, working with students to achieve their best possible scores on tests such as the SAT, ACT, Selective Enrollment Exam, etc.Over the past 4 years, I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, from middle school students looking for additional assistance in math and reading to high school students preparing for college entrance exams.I have developed a personalized approach to tutoring, working closely with each student to identify their strengths and weaknesses and tailoring my lessons to their individual needs.

I earned my bachelor's degree in K-12 special education and my master's degree in educational neuroscience, as well as a Certificate in E-Learning and Adult Learning. I am Orton Gillingham trained. For over twenty years, I have served as a K-12 teacher and learning specialist. I'm currently a university instructor. Specialties: e-learning, ESL, ELL, K-12 education, learning and reading disabilities, writing, adult learning, conversational English, study skills, and executive functioning. I offer students of all ages learner-centered experiences with active participant involvement and the support to effectively make use of what is learned.

It is my desire as an instructor to help learners meet their fullest potential by creating an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas.

Born in England, raised in Malta, I have a global perspective and an appreciation for cultural diversity. I am a "people person" who works well with others both as a leader and team-player. Empowering students and moving them beyond "I can't" has always been the hallmark of my teaching, so much so that DePaul's Alpha Lambda Delta National Honors Society named me as "Faculty of the Year" in 2000.Even before "experiential learning" became a clich, I was providing "hands-on," sensory-based activities for my students; before "diversity training" became a mandate, I exposed my students to texts which focused on racism, sexism, homophobia, colonialism and anti-Semitism; years before the English speaking world caught onto the pedagogical theories of Paulo Freire, I insisted on student-centered learning, creating a safe environment in which my students could explore their deepest thoughts, sharing what was appropriate with their peers. My students are motivated and engaged with their studies; together we form a circle of learning in which all are expert critical thinkers. My task, as I see it, is to facilitate, encourage, and stay informed. A hand-written message from Mother Teresa, faithfully carried from Calcutta by a former student, hangs on my study wall: "Liz, Teach for the glory of God." And that's what I endeavor to do.

I am a Spanish tutor. I have been studying the language and culture since 7th grader and continue to learn more about the Spanish language. I have studied abroad in Seville and also lived in Madrid, Spain for a year improving my Spanish skills.

I have been a college writing instructor for a decade as well as fitness professional for over 20 years. I have tutored hundreds of college and grad students with their essay assignments, projects, and test preparation. Listening is my strongest attribute in helping people write more effectively.Creating challenging, safe, and effective fitness programs is one of the most fun parts of being a personal trainer. Each client deserves a personalized session that is coordinated with their particular goals and addresses any obstacles like injuries or chronic illnesses. 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 believe that the best way to grow as a developer and as a person is to stay passionate about the things you work on. Every challenge becomes a learning experience, and every learning experience becomes a reason to love what you do. That's the mindset I bring to everything I work on, from developing desktop applications in C++ and Qt to building game engine tools for Amazon Games' AAA title New World: Aeternum. With a strong foundation in data structures, object-oriented design, and software architecture, I've built tools and systems that simplify complex workflows and bring ideas to life. I see great software as an extension of its creator: thoughtful, refined, and full of purpose. That's why I aim to help others not just learn to code, but learn to create with the same sense of curiosity and care that drives professional development in the real world. Whether you're diving into C++, learning Unreal Engine, or exploring how to structure and optimize your own projects, I'll meet you where you are and help you turn challenges into creative breakthroughs. My goal as a tutor is to share the excitement of discovery and to help you find that same spark of passion in your own work.
