Award-Winning Tutors from DePaul University

I am a law student and scholarship recipient at the University of Texas at Austin, a T14 Law School. In addition, I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a minor in Economics and Management from DePaul University. I am deeply passionate about helping others, and seeing that incoming and current students get the help they need to succeed in their program. I have tutored hundreds of students for the LSAT, and I believe anyone can achieve their goals with the right mentor by their side. My teaching style is friendly and personable, as I want my students to know that they can ask me anything and be heard. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

I am a graduate student at Depaul University, studying pure mathematics. I have only recently moved to Chicago, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my short time here. I am originally from Detroit, Where I finished my bachelor's degree in secondary education at Wayne State University, majoring in math and minoring in physics. I have always been very interested in math, how logic-oriented it is and how it applies to almost everything in the real world. Aside from school I enjoy travelling, playing tennis, reading, and watching football on Sundays. I taught have been a teacher two years prior to this: one in middle school and one in high school. I had a great time as a teacher, and I see no reason why tutoring would be any different!

I firmly believe that with the proper direction, anyone can learn once they accept the fact that true knowledge can only be achieved by struggling and persevering through the challenges that are presented. I am a compassionate lifelong learner with years of experience in the areas of training and personnel development, who understands the significance of connecting life experiences to the acceptance of new information. I have a bachelor's degree in finance from DePaul University and over 14 years of management experience. Thus, my ability to identify problem area and help students to relate the subject matter to something that they already have an awareness of, is the skill that makes me a great tutor. I'm currently in the midst of a career change working toward a master's degree in secondary education, in the area of mathematics, so that I can actively join the fight to help educate today's youth. I have a passion for teaching math in a way that can be understood in laymen terms so that the beauty of the subject and its relevance to all facets of life can be appreciated. I have worked with high risk elementary students who were performing well below grade level and helped them to meet and/or exceed the required standards by year's end. My teaching philosophy utilizes the backward design method where we begin with the ideal result then we review all of the prerequisite knowledge, skills, and techniques that will be need to solve the problem. With this method the teacher serves as a facilitator who guides the student through the process of using the critical thinking necessary for understanding the desired result. Thus the focus if for the student to gain knowledge of what they are doing and why, not just the answer to a question. In addition to my love for teaching I have an affinity for athletics and a passion for photography, therefore I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that is required to fulfill a challenging goal as well as the beauty of capturing the moment of triumph. So if you need a tutor who can properly identify a problem area, communicate it in a manner that you can understand, relate it to something that you can identify with, then direct you through the process of obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for comprehending the solution, I'm your man.

I am a senior pre-med student at DePaul University majoring in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry/medicinal chemistry and minoring in biology. I have previous experience as a teaching assistant and science tutor at DePaul. When I am not working or studying, I enjoy trying out new restaurants across Chicago and baking.

I aim to increase understanding and retention of information as well as developing not just the skills to solve a specific problem, but the mindset needed to then solve all future problems. Also, I try and make the process as enjoyable as possible!

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their drawing abilities by breaking down techniques into clear, approachable steps.

I have over thirty years of corporate financial experience at various levels and across several industries. I started in traditional financial analyst/staff accountant roles and progressed through the ranks to positions of international controller and chief financial officer. I held these titles with two different companies, one publicly-traded, so I have had experience in working with a wide variety of professionals in different environments around the world. In more recent years, I have worked as an independent consultant specializing in areas of financial reporting, internal control, and interim managerial staff-augmentation roles. I began teaching finance and management courses online in the Fall of 2012 and have been doing so ever since.I particularly enjoy tutoring because I am able to help so many students become familiar with concepts that are so very important in today's world!

I help my students to find relevancy in what they're learning, and I always tailor my lessons to meet the individual needs of the student. Outside of education, I enjoy practicing meditation, cooking, and expressing myself through bonsai and wood burning art.

Whether I am preparing students for NCLEX or offering support for coursework, my goal remains the same. I focus on building confidence and developing practical skills they can carry from the classroom to their future careers. As a recent graduate, I understand the pressures of nursing school and the anxiety of preparing for NCLEX. That experience helped me high impact skills that make a real difference. My greatest reward is seeing students build the same tools and find success.

I attended DePaul University, and in December, I received a Bachelor of Arts in English, with a concentration in Literary Studies, and French. During my time at DePaul, I was a Writing Center Tutor at the University Center for Writing-based Learning. There, I worked with students from a variety of disciplines on their writing. For example, I tutored freshman who were working on rhetorical analyses as well as senior psychology majors working on personal statements for grad school. The diversity of writing I worked with fostered a sense of adaptability in me that I bring to every new tutoring session. I also tutored English Language Learners, focusing more on the technical aspects of language and honing their speaking skills. I tutor any subject under the broad spectrum of English: college writing, reading comprehension, literary analyses, speech and argumentative writing, and so forth. I also tutor French! I received my degree in French and spent a semester abroad in Paris, where I lived with a host family and soaked in the culture, like a slice of baguette bread mopping up a delicious sauce.My tutoring style is direct but not overbearing: I know how to direct students to the right answer, but I will do so through leading questions, providing examples, or referencing rules or conventions that the student has learned previously. Students possess the knowledge the obtain the right answer but sometimes have to be guided to it; that's the purpose of education and tutoring. Because education is so monumental in shaping students' futures, it's crucial that they receive the attention necessary to succeed.Because of my love of all things literary, my hobbies include reading, writing, and attending literary events such as poetry and fiction readings. I also love to dance and to play piano; anything musical interests me! I am a certified Francophile: French food, movies, and culture absolutely excite me, and I love to share my knowledge and experience with others!

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!

Hello! I'm a licensed educator with classroom experience who is passionate about helping students build confidence, improve academic skills, and feel supported in their learning.

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.

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.

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 am very passionate about the language and sharing that passion with others.I have also taught Spanish to students grades 6-12. I enjoy working one on one with students and in small groups. I hope to share my passion and knowledge of the Spanish language with others here.

I have been tutoring since high school, when I tutored students in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Chemistry. Since then, I have tutored for four years at the college level in both German and Music Theory/Aural Skills. I have also twice co-taught an intensive one-month long German 101 course, where I designed the lesson plans, and graded homework, quizzes and tests.I am a great tutor because of my broad experience in tutoring many different subjects, so that I have a wide variety of approaches to help all types of students master the material. I also believe that, in my German tutoring especially, I'm very systematic, so that my students have a strong grammar foundation on which to build further skills and concepts. I have also lived in Germany for a year, and am able to bring world-life experiences into tutoring sessions, so that I can instill in my students a desire to learn more of the German language through a glimpse of what is possible once one has a basis in the language. I also have taken German Diction classes because of my background in vocal performance, and this means that I am especially adept at dealing with difficulties in pronunciation, or when students are having trouble hearing the difference between those pesky umlauts!

I grew up in Chicago's Rogers Park and, later, Morton Grove, IL where I attended Niles West High School. After graduating, I enrolled in the Chemical Engineering program at the Illinois Institute of Technology. While an undergraduate, I was a peer tutor in General Chemistry. My favorite subjects in college always involved using computational models of chemical processes; pursuit of this niche sub-discipline afforded me an opportunity of a semester at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Upon obtaining my Bachelor of Science Degree, I continued my education to obtain a Master's degree in Chemistry. Subsequently, employed by various companies in the industry, I worked in the fields of Semiconductors, Natural Gas and Energy, and provided technical consultancy to instrument companies and universities. Perhaps as a tribute to experience with tutoring as an undergraduate, and lecturing Chemistry as a graduate student, I had been especially adept at taking a complex scientific or mathematical concept and breaking it down to the level of comprehension by a lay person or a professional of varying discipline -- a precursor to my present occupation. After transitioning from the industry to education, I was fortunate to discover passion and fulfillment in helping students achieve their personal goals, be it basic education, performance in math and science, standardized testing, high school equivalency attainment or self-improvement through further education and more lucrative career options. In addition to being a tutor, I volunteer at the Howard Area Community center as an Adult Basic Education Tutor and at Horizons for Youth, working with at-risk urban youth.

It's been over five years since I graduated college and I can honestly say that I miss it. I miss learning. And I miss the free and open discussion with my classmates.Not everyone's experience with school is as positive as mine was, but I don't believe that learning should be a struggle.Going to school builds an academic base for your future and it sets you up for the way you will live the rest of your life. But learning doesn't have to be a chore. I believe that, with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, any problem can be overcome. I believe that learning how to problem-solve and how to think through your problems is more important than the rote memorization of facts. And I believe that tenacious, hardworking students make successful adults.I would love to help you in your process of learning, creative and growth.

As a teacher and graduate student, I have the background and the teaching ability to impart other students with the skills and knowledge they need to improve their academic performance. This past year I taught 9th grade geology and 10th grade chemistry at Tilden High School in Chicago and volunteered to serve as a tutor for underprivileged students in Revive’s Homework Help Program. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Economics in May 2013 and am currently a graduate student in the Master of Arts in Mathematics Education (Ma.M.Ed.) program at Depaul University. My background in math, along with my teaching and tutoring experience, will allow me to help my students understand the content of their coursework and develop analytical abilities. I'm a former basketball player and am currently an assistant coach for Tilden High School's varsity basketball team. My other hobbies include music, movies, and football.

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.

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.
