I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Ellie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a 4th year student at The University of Chicago majoring in Economics. I recently completed all of my coursework and am now filling my time with the activities I most enjoy. One of these activities is teaching. At the beginning of this academic year, I joined an organization on campus that teaches juniors and seniors at a local high school about community engagement through the lens of philanthropy. Through this, I have the unique opportunity to empower students to become leaders in their community; to provide them a platform to change issues about which they are most passionate. This experience inspires my desire to educate young students; to provide them the tools to be leaders, whether that be in the classroom, on the playing field, or in their community. My time as a youth soccer coach and tutor of my little brother and his friends has further bolstered my love of teaching. Given my extensive experience and longtime passion for math and applied math subjects, I feel I can best help students seeking help in these areas, though I have experience in a broad range of subjects. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing soccer, basketball, guitar and piano, as well as cooking, hiking and listening to podcasts.

I'm fairly good at math. I love art and music and movies and make sure to spare some time for a good TV show once in a while. I'm plenty mature, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for cartoons. Learning and teaching are my lifelong passions, and it is this passion that I hope to impart to my students; I want to infect my students with the intellectual enthusiasm that has brought so many rewards to my own life. Hobbies: books, music, art, movies, reading, writing

I'm a sophomore at Harvard studying Applied Math, Economics, and Computer Science. I've tutored in a variety of subjects throughout high school and currently work part-time as a Course Assistant for an Introductory Calculus course at Harvard. I especially love tutoring math and making it a more accessible subject for students to learn. Aside from academics, I'm passionate about community service (I'm a director for a student-run homeless shelter!), music, digital design, and baking!

I recently graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Communications and a minor in Business. Since 2020, I have had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages, forming meaningful connections that I deeply cherish. While I tutor a diverse array of subjects, my passions lie in Math, English, and Writing. I also love helping students with college admissions! I firmly believe that learning should be an enjoyable and enriching experience for everyone, so I strive to make each tutoring session unique and engaging.
Hannah
Calculus Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a sophomore in college at McGill University and am studying Biology and Computer Science. I am passionate about science and would love to help kids who are struggling with it. I hope through tutoring I can help children find the love for learning that I have found. This is in the end the best motivation a child can have. I struggled a lot at the beginning of classes and know what it feels like when something doesn't click. I use this when I tutor and know to go slowly and diligently through everything. I have one year of professional experience in a tutoring center and have worked with children of all ages. I have training to teach anything from reading to Java programming. Tutors helped me through many classes and I would love to be able to do that for your child!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Glen Ellyn is served by 5 different school districts across 16 schools with over 8,600 students, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in Community Unit School District 41, 89, or another local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic goals.
Glen Ellyn students typically seek help in math, science, and standardized test preparation—especially as they progress through middle and high school. Many also pursue tutoring in languages, writing, and AP/honors coursework to stay competitive within the district's rigorous academic environment. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in whatever subject matters most for their academic success.
The first session is focused on understanding your student's strengths, challenges, and learning goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically, discuss what they need help with, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures every subsequent session is tailored to your student's specific needs.
Glen Ellyn's average student-teacher ratio is about 14.8:1, which means students in classrooms don't always get individualized attention. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting. This focused approach often leads to faster progress and deeper understanding.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Many tutors have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, or have specialized expertise in their subject areas. Each tutor is selected to match your student's specific needs and learning goals.
Absolutely. Tutors working with Glen Ellyn students are familiar with Illinois learning standards and can help students master grade-level content, prepare for state assessments, and build skills in core subjects like math, reading, and science. Personalized instruction ensures your student gets targeted support in areas where they need it most.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling and can work with different budgets—whether you need weekly sessions or intensive help before an exam. We recommend discussing your needs and budget when connecting with a tutor to find an arrangement that works for your family.
Results vary by student and their starting point, but many Glen Ellyn students experience improved grades, stronger test scores, and increased confidence in their abilities. The key is consistent, personalized instruction tailored to how each student learns best. Working with a tutor also helps students develop better study habits and problem-solving skills they can use long-term.
