University of Illinois at Chicago

I am a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago Honors College, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering with a focus in cell and tissue engineering. During high school, I worked in the literacy center, where I tutored fellow classmates and helped them with any classes that they were having trouble with. I enjoy tutoring because I acknowledge the two-way nature of it. Not only does tutoring help a tutee learn certain material, it also helps me master some old concepts. While I tutor a variety of subjects, one of my favorites is mathematics. I love teaching this subject because its concrete and builds problem-solving skills. I think that education is one of the most important facets of life since it directly shapes our future. With this in mind, I attempt to teach my students to the best of my ability. During my free time, I enjoy biking, playing the violin, and watching sports.

Q&A with Shouvik

I believe that learning is more than mere regurgitation of facts; therefore, it is imperative that my student has a thorough understanding of a given topic. To help my student grasp an idea, I plan on initially asking easy questions to introduce him/her to a topic. After teaching my student some concepts that required for understanding of the concept, I will give challenging practice problems so that he/she is motivated to think outside the box to solve the problems.
