Award-Winning Tutors from University of Illinois at Chicago

I am a graduate student in Chicago studying occupational therapy. I recently finished my undergraduate studies in Psychology and English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During breaks from school, I am a substitute teacher for a local high school district. I also tutor students online in English and Psychology. Looking forward to tutoring through Varsity Tutors!

I am a graduate of The Monmouth College where I received a Bachelor's of Arts in Biochemistry. Currently, I attend The University of Illinois at Chicago in pursuit of my Doctor of Pharmacy. While at Monmouth I was involved in various tutoring/teaching positions. I served as the supplemental instructor of analytical chemistry, teaching assistant for general chemistry, and cadaver dissection team member. Through the experience of being a student and a tutor, I have learned the unique challenges the science student encounters. As a student athlete in both high school and college, I understand the difficulties of time management and the importance of maintaining success in the classroom. Attending a small college allowed my passion for biology and chemistry to flourish through the close relationships I made with my peers and professors. I bring this hands-on approach I was given in my undergrad to my students by pinpointing their exact needs to ensure material is not just memorized, but understood. Outside of my science pursuits I enjoy reading, hiking, and exploring my city of Chicago.

I am currently getting my bachelors at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I first discovered my innate passion for tutoring through my first job experience at Kumon: After School Math and Reading Program. This program provided me a platform to develop my tutoring skills with students of different age groups an varied background. I got a chance to work with students from ages five to high school. This opportunity also encouraged me to take on other private tutoring options. I tutored a 6th grade student on math and other skills. I have further developed this skills by tutoring many of my friends in college in math, exam prep, chemistry, biology, psychology and other subjects. All these experiences have allowed me to think of concept in new ways and create creative ways to understand them. As a tutor I hope to share some of my strategies for learning and help the student master each topic.Outside of academia, I love dancing and I am classically trained in a dance form called bharatnatyam. I also enjoy singing, traveling and reading.

There are two qualities that define me as a person and as a teacher. The first quality is my love of learning. From the time I have been able to speak I have always asked questions about the beautiful and amazing world that we live in. Throughout middle school and high school I would question teachers, not to annoy, but because I had such a passion and curiosity for learning. This rigorous academic pursuit led me to BioEngineering for which I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago. BioEngineering requires background in Math, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, which is a very broad range of topics that I needed to master in order to succeed at my degree. It also requires creativity and curiosity to succeed in engineering. Although I have learned many things I continue to learn about the unknown because I am also part of a research team at UIC that studies traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer's Disease. All of these experiences show that I have a passion for learning about a broad variety of topics, and I continue to push the boundaries of my knowledge everyday. I will pass my love for learning to the best of my ability to the best of my ability. So not only will the student learn the material, they will learn how to learn, and they will love to learnThe second quality is my ability to adapt to any situation given to me. I have had the pleasure of being part of a relief trips to India, and leading two medical relief trips to Ecuador and Peru. During these trips, things can change in a blink of an eye and one must adapt in order to help the people in need. These skills can be translated to tutoring as well. Many styles of teaching wont work for some students. Since I have the ability to adapt, I can change my teaching style in the blink of an eye to assimilate to what the student needs and wants.

I am currently a second year Master of Social Work student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have spent time teaching English as a language assistant in Madrid, Spain, which allowed me to pursue my interests in languages, traveling, and tapas! I have a great deal of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked as a babysitter, camp counselor, tutor and teacher. I enjoy tutoring all subjects -I like trying to explain subjects in a new way that makes them interesting for my students. I do my best to make learning as fun and creative as possible, using whatever method works best for the student.

My name is Sneha, and I would be happy to start tutoring for you today!I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a bachelor's in Integrative Biology, Chemistry and Philosophy. Currently, I am a PhD student in the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB) program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition, I have scored in the 97th percentile on my ACT/SAT and have scored in the 90th percentile on the MCAT.My love and passion for teaching stems from my 5+ years of experience as a undergraduate TA (Teaching Assistant) at UIUC and as a graduate student TA at UIC teaching Organic Chemistry, Chemistry, Cell Biology and Biology. My areas of expertise are all courses under Biology and Chemistry, including prepping students for the MCAT. I have had a lot of academic success in those areas personally, throughout my educational experience and I continue to do so as a graduate student. So, my understanding and mastery of Biology, Biochemistry and Chemistry is very strong.I practice many adaptive teaching methods, such as presenting relevant models or examples, facilitating an open discussion to allow the students to explain the concepts back to me and conducting routine assessments with mini-quizzes and exams to help the students gain a deeper understanding of each concept. These teaching methods have helped me and all of my previous students, ranging from elementary to high school, to succeed in their coursework!I look forward to working with you!

I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Spanish from Grand Valley State University! I am currently getting a Master's of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I offer tutoring in any level of Spanish and for various Psychology topics!When I was studying abroad in Spain for a semester I tutored some kids in English by helping them learn grammar and work on improving their conversational English. I also tutored basic Spanish speaking skills for a 12 week program to help people feel comfortable communicating with others in Spanish. Learning Spanish not only helps you to be more competitive for jobs, but also helps connect you with more people! I love teaching languages because it's one more way people can learn how to communicate with others in a variety of settings and locations. I love seeing the moment when people go from learning no Spanish to being able to understand even a simple sentence. That acknowledgement and realization that they have learned something new is very inspiring for me!I want to help you learn the best way that works for you. Some people are more visual learners, others more auditory, and others are more hands on. We will work together to see what works best for you!Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running and reading books to wind down after a long day!

After seeing students initially struggle with the same concepts during my 30+ years of teaching I look forward to helping students develop a successful approach to solving problems.

I am currently an undergraduate student who is part of the Honors College at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Science Degree in Neuroscience with a Minor in Music. I am available to tutor students in a large variety of subjects , but I especially enjoy serving as a tutor for mathematics or science-related disciplines. In the past, I have had 2-3 years of experience (online and in-person) tutoring numerous high school students in disciplines as Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. Even when not formally serving as a tutor, I have always felt inclined to provide other students with advice concerning time management skills and studying tips to ensure their prospective academic success.I also enjoy to serve as a test-prep tutor, particular for the ACT and various AP tests. I believe these tests have large implications upon determining one's aptitude for success in college, and, thus, I believe that their importance should not be undermined. Personally, I have also participated as a student in ACT-prep classes to become better educated on useful test-taking strategies and tips. Relatedly, I am also willing to provide advice to younger high school or middle school students regarding how to adapt to college academics, or, in more general terms, college life.As a tutor, I believe it is most vital to be persistent and patient when helping other students. I strive to employ a more independent-tutoring approach, in which I attempt to help a student as sparingly as possible as to allow a student to arrive at a solution mostly on his/her terms. For me, learning and problem-solving require individual insight and reasoning, and, thus, my job as a tutor will encompass helping a student comprehend basic/underlying conceptual principles so that the student can arrive at an answer as independently as possible. Additionally, as a tutor, I will impart knowledge stressing the importance of time management and balancing skills on academic prosperity, and, also, I will attempt to make learning more enjoyable by connecting what a student is being taught to real-world applications.In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing baseball and tennis, singing, playing the Alto Saxophone, playing the Guitar, and going to the movies.

I love to learn and help others. Empathy, caring, and genuineness are noteworthy traits, without judging others. I am thankful to Pursue the Path of the Heart to seek meaning and a career pathway, as I have just completed a new degree, a Psy D. (Doctorate). I am also thankful to have completed a second Master's Degree in Counseling, (4.0 GPA) and inducted to Chi Sigma Iota (National Honor Society). Professionalism within the educational community at UIC, working as a guidance counselor, a therapist, a teacher, and working with the business community has afforded me opportunities to gain much valuable experience in assisting people from all walks of life, while respecting the dignity of others. There is a story of a young man who was walking along a beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the ocean. A man approached the youth and inquired as to why he is throwing the starfish back into the ocean. The youth looked at the man, holding the starfish in his hand, and threw the starfish back into the ocean. The youth said to the man, "it makes a difference to this one." Each person is precious.

Hi I'm a recent college graduate navigating this post-grad life as best as possible. In the venture to find my passion I am engaging myself in as many interests as I can - teaching being one of them. I have always had an interest in teaching because the feeling of helping a student achieve their "light bulb" moment is extremely rewarding.As your tutor I hope to not only help you to understand subject matter but to also inspire a love of education and knowledge.In addition to teaching I enjoy being a student as well. Currently, I am trying to learn both French and Spanish and every month I try to read a book about a completely new subject.On my free time - oh wait I have no free time (LOL).

Education is important to me, and it is important to always keep in mind the skill levels of every diverse learner I work with. After all, if students don't learn the way we teach, then we need to teach them the way they learn.

Bonjour! Ca va? I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my bachelor's degree in Psychology and French. I studied and lived abroad in Southern France for four months and I lived in Paris while interning with the French government and social services system! I enjoy speaking and teaching French as well as math! While living abroad, I have learned a lot about their culture and have improved my accent as well!I tutor French and algebra. I love teaching these subjects because I find languages very useful in our lives. Without language, how would we communicate with one another? I love math as well because I love understanding the concept behind a problem and being able to use that to figure out the rest of the problems.I am passionate about helping students because I believe they are the future. Students have the greatest possibility and opportunity to make a change in themselves and the world. By gaining more knowledge, we an positively affect our environment and influence the people around us.During a mission trip, I taught second grader classes about the government, politics, commuit, and taxes to name a few.

In 2017, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.S. in Physics. I began tutoring while an undergraduate for various programs offered through the college. My experience is mostly with high school students, though I have tutored middle school and college students. I helped students with various math subjects (geometry, algebra, and trigonometry), high school chemistry, and both high school and university level physics.In my experience, most students need multiple "ah-ha!" moments before truly understanding and getting excited about learning the material. And because of this, students are often initially intimidated and discouraged by STEM subjects since it can take so many tries before getting it right. By creating a solid conceptual foundation in these areas, I believe any student is capable of learning this complex material through persistence and maintaining motivation.
