I received my BSN from Valparaiso University and started my first position in the Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Children's Memorial (now Lurie Children's) in Chicago. My MSN in Parent Child Health Nursing from Rush Univerisity started my career path as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and Staff Educator at Larabida Children's in Chicago. I love working with Special Needs Children and their parents, helping them to understand the needs of their children. I expanded my practice to pediatric home care with high tech kids on ventilators, feeding tubes and other equipment. I loved teaching other nurses, caregivers, and parents about kids and approaching them at their developmental level. My leadership skills have been used as an Assistant Director, Coordinator and Director of Home Health Services and Education.My adult nursing experience includes ER where I loved the role of triaging. I also have adult home health care, hospice care and public/community health experience especially working with immunization programs and senior health centers. At the core of my professional practice is always patient and family education.When I became an Assistant Clinical Professor at Valparaiso University, I loved my role of assisting students with their assessment skills and application of the nursing process. I enjoy working with older students who may have life experiences and other degrees that they bring to their nursing education. I try to share my passion for nursing with traditional students as they prepare to become part of the future workforce. I enjoy tutoring students, helping them to understand the didactic content and applying it to the clinical scenario. When students become confident and competent in their knowledge, I love seeing the change in their nursing practice! It's like seeing the "lightbulbs" turn on. I have mentored students in pediatric nursing including the school nurse role, OB nursing, Critical care nursing in ICU and ER, and public health nursing including prisons, home health and hospice, wound care centers, and Native American communities. Travel abroad nursing opportunity included the different types of health care in Thailand and England. I obtained my DNP while teaching full time at VU. I have accepted early retirement and have Emeritus status at Valparaiso University. Now I would love to help you become the nurse you want to be by strengthening your weak areas and increasing your understanding of the extensive content you face this semester. I also help students see the value of implementing self-care and stress reduction techniques. My schedule is flexible and can vary from posted hours. Just tell me when you are available.I continue to serve my community by volunteering with the local Visiting Nurse Association as a Meals on Wheels driver, and the Phoenix Center, a place for children and families to learn to cope with grief. I serve as a Stephen Minister as a caregiver in my Lutheran church.

I have tutored students in physics, calculus, algebra, geometry and math as a private tutor for the last 2 years. Before I began as a private tutor I tutored friends and was a tutor for the National Honors Society in High School.I love working with students and seeing them understand a subject they previously did not. Often students are missing a few pieces of information that keeps them from succeeding. My job has a tutor is to figure out what these pieces of information are and to correct it.

Hello! I'm Jawalleh, a graduate student at Morgan State University pursuing my Master of Science in Civil Engineering. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Sustainability and a minor in Engineering. After graduating, I embarked on a three-month adventure traveling the world, visiting Australia, England, France, Germany, Amsterdam, Ghana, and Liberia. This experience broadened my perspective and deepened my passion for environmental conservation and sustainable living. My dedication to environmental education extends to volunteering, where I engage with communities to highlight the crucial role the environment plays in our overall health. I'm particularly enthusiastic about math, science, and all things STEAM, driven by my belief in the transformative power of education. As a first-generation student, I understand the challenges of learning new subjects. I've been fortunate to receive tutoring myself, and I'm committed to paying it forward by tutoring others.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and Art History from Valparaiso University and Master of Arts in Art History from Bowling Green State University. I earned my teaching license in Secondary Education from Eastern Illinois University in May 2022. I am currently a high school English teacher. Before I started teaching, I was a test prep tutor, and clocked hundreds of hours working with high school students on SAT reading and writing and ACT English and reading. I truly enjoy working with students and watching them learn and grow both in my classroom and as a tutor.

Let me help math make sense! I received my bachelors degree from Valparaiso University with a double major in mathematics and computer science. After that, I went back to school to get my teaching certificate. My past experience in the education industry has included substitute teaching, working as a special education teacher assistant, and tutoring at various tutoring/learning centers. I love mathematics and have a passion for helping others understand mathematical concepts. I have worked with students of various ages, from Kindergarten to adults looking to go back to school. Just recently I completed a data science bootcamp. I feel confident in my abilities to not only assist students with mathematics but also with Python programming and computer programming in general.

As a freshman in High School, I began tutoring a third grade girl. As an English Language Learner, her primary goal was to improve her reading comprehension and speed, her English vocabulary, and her critical thinking skills regarding literature. We worked together three times a week. Going into the job, I was excited to make some money. English was my favorite subject in high school and I have always loved reading, so I assumed I would also have fun with the job, and get to re-read some of my favorite grade-school literature books. All of these expectations were metI enjoyed the job and I enjoyed making money. What I did not expect, however, was the relationship I would build, the joy I would experience, and the love I would develop for teaching. I did not expect that over four years later I would return to Phoenix for the summer and immediately go to visit this student. I did not expect that her family would cook me Indian food for my birthday. I did not expect to be so deeply invested in the education and inspiration of this student.As a first time-tutor I learned that my student's goals become my goals. For the time that I am teaching, all that matters is working together toward those goals. Watching my students grow empowers me to better myself and strive for personal growth. Tutoring has also taught me that teaching is not just utilitarian. We need teachers, certainly, and teachers serve the purpose of educating. But teachers can also be mentors. Some of the people I most respect and admire, most strive to emulate, most love, have been teachers and tutors. As a tutor I am invested not just in imparting information and understanding, but in my students' well-being and happiness. I look at students as every human deserves to be looked at: holistically.Through high school and my first year of college I continued to tutor both for pay and as a volunteer, and these convictions have only been strengthened.Aside from tutoring, I spend time reading, exploring and traveling with my family and my boyfriend or by myself, studying Greek and Latin, and occasionally painting or drawing. I work out each morning and try to get some down-time to journal or listen to music each night. This summer (2017) I have been nannying three kids, ages 6 months, 8 years and 10 years, and a lot of my teaching and tutoring philosophies have crossed into my care of these children.Overall, my life mantra, so to speak, is balance. I have a lot of hobbies and I also tend toward work-a-hol-ism. Whether it's school work or a summer job, I can let it consume all of my time and energy, but every day I try to balance my time among all of my obligations and activities. As a tutor I hope to also mentor children, especially, but anyone, in introspection and self-knowledge. Sometimes meeting an academic goal requires more than flash cards and memorization, and I am here to be that resource and support.

In 2015 I graduated from Valparaiso University with Bachelor's degrees in History and Classical Studies, taking classes in both Latin and civilization, and minored in Theology. While in college I participated in a number of tutoring programs where I tutored not only my peers in college level classes but also worked with local elementary school students as they prepared for their ISTEP exams. After graduation I served for two years at a high school in Chicago as part of a post-graduate volunteer program. While there I was able to teach sections of Latin and World History. As a tutor I look forward not only to helping students achieve their academic goals, but also guiding them to a greater appreciation for their education, especially in the area of history and Latin. In my two years as a teacher I have found that often a student gains far more from the one-to-one experiences. I look forward to the opportunity to bring out the best in each student in this way.

There is nothing better than to learn something new everyday. I make sure I do this for myself and my hope is that you do likewise. Teaching is a two-way street. A good teacher should always remain a student. In fact, the best way to really know something is to teach it! I tell myself to always be ready and open to learning new things. This is my teaching philosophy.

I believe that every student can learn any subject. The impact of a good teacher is crucial to student success. I use models, demos, mnemonic devices, examples, diagrams, video clips, and simulations to help students understand concepts. Learning should be fun and motivating. I use any method that works to help a student succeed.

I want to support others in writing in the ways that I wish I had when I wrote essays. I am working towards a BS in Computer Engineering, with minors in Math and Computer Science at Valparaiso University, while also being part of the honors college, which is based on argumentative writing. Having someone to ask for help from proves as an invaluable resource in any field, especially academically. I can be that aid. We all deserve the opportunity to receive help in whatever it is we are passionate about.

I received a B.S. degree in Chemistry and Biology at Valparaiso University (3.7 GPA). I have been tutoring students for 6+ years. I primarily tutor students in middle and high school science and math. My favorite subjects to tutor are chemistry and biology. I have previous experience as a teaching assistant for the chemistry department as well as a peer mentor for the general chemistry course at Valparaiso University. In addition, I began my college career as a secondary education major and have completed coursework in several education courses with classroom fieldwork before ultimately switching majors to pursue my passion in science. Currently, I am a second year PhD student at UT Southwestern-Medical Center located in Dallas, TX.My teaching philosophy is that every student has the capability to be successful; however, every student learns differently. I tutor to cater to each individual by understanding how they learn best. I often guide students through problems such that they learn how to take the proper steps to arrive at the answer themselves. When appropriate, I ask plenty of questions to get students thinking and make connections to their interests to make learning fun. My goal is to have students start thinking of questions and making connections on their own to develop life long learning habits! I am also always happy to assist in study skills such as time management and organization. I LOVE helping a student discover their love for learning, and even more, showing them that they can be a rockstar at science and math, the "hard" subjects, regardless of what they want to do when they grow up! Problem solving skills can be translated to any field, and I want my students to go into the world feeling confident that they can tackle anything.

Hello! My name is Chris. I graduated from Wabash College in 2016 with my BA in Psychology and Religion. I am currently pursuing an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Valparaiso University. I have been involved in research throughout my higher education. To fulfill requirements for my Psychology major, I completed a year-long, independent research project concerning two visual processing paradigms and their effect on people who get migraines. In completing requirements for my Religion major, I completed a research manuscript identifying probable causes for the recent rise of religious unaffiliation in the United States. Now, in graduate school, I am working as a research assistant in a Human Sexuality research lab. I love research!In the past year, I have been working in college admissions, which I find very rewarding! Personally, I am analytical and deliberative, two qualities which I think make me a good tutor. I have relevant experience ranging from tutoring middle school students during after school programs to student teaching undergraduate courses. Feel free to message me!
