Certified Tutors From Illinois Institute of Technology

...science. My previous degrees are in engineering and architecture. I will soon have a decade of experience with professors, homework, and tests. And I've been tutoring since the beginning of my college career. I teach for the same reason that I learn - I enjoy it. Every student learns differently, and so everyone I teach...

...as culture to the people who want to learn. All my friends who learnt Chinese from me are impressed by my funny interactive teaching style and profound knowledge. A language is not only about words and grammar, but also a culture, especially for Chinese Language with thousand years of continuous history. I can always explain...

...on student ratings and working habits. Outside of that I have helped students in Genetics, General Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics and a list of other classes. I like to engage students in the learning process and give them multiple perspectives on a given topic. I often ask tricky questions to test what confuses the student or...

...teaching is to try to merge theory and practical application of the theory. Over time, I've found some students to best learning the "why" a method works before trying to apply a method; others do best seeing material in the opposite order preferring to see how a theory is applied before learning the general theory....

I have been a tutor at multiple colleges and universities for about 4 years. My students have appreciated my efforts in helping them with their classes and that motivates me to continue tutoring.... To make a student understand something, you have to approach the problem from student's point of view. So, its very important to know how does a student understand the problem.

...It's my goal as a tutor to help students grasp the concepts and learn how to apply them, rather than simply accumulate information. I believe in students capabilities to learn and excel in math. During tutoring sessions, I do my best to break down the math problems into simpler ones, allowing the student to figure...

...math, social studies, and ESL. I have also taught tutors how to teach literacy to adults. My teaching approach is to gently guide the student toward discovery and understanding of concepts through modeling, breaking down the process into steps, lots of practice -- and fun breaks when needed! I have found that taking a few...

...like a range of music, movies and TV Shows - I am willing to bet we have at least one in common. In my spare time I hang out with my two cats Bella and Luca and enjoy exploring the city of Boston. In Chicago I went on a quest to find the best "Chicago...

...method of solving a problem. Not every student can solve a problem using the same method; I have become aware of this as many of classmates and I will receive the same answer to a problem, but would have arrived by different methods. Because of this, I believe a student, best, comprehends a topic when...

...I don't think it is beneficial to struggle for hours just trying to get an answer to a question. Instead, I think there is added value in having someone help you through a problem to understand the material as a whole (while still answering your homework problems). School is challenging, but it doesn't have to...

...Geometry. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Math and Physics, I try to explain difficult definitions and solutions in an understandable easy way. I don't generally give direct solution, rather motivate students by giving clues and make them find a way to get around the problem which help their confidence. In my free...

...teaching mathematics because it was the one subject I could always explain how to do to anyone. I have been tutoring for about 10 years. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to get to know many different students from many different walks of life. I feel that tutoring has helped me to grow as...

...been doing so ever since. I have tutored several students in a variety of subjects in math and physics, from algebra 1 up through college level calculus, including ACT test prep. Working one on one with students to help them achieve their academic goals has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. I cherish the...

...it is known as a "growth mindset," which is the idea that intelligence is not fixed, but rather can be improved with persistence, as shown by the research of Prof. Carol Dweck (Stanford). Thus, as a tutor I encourage my students to challenge themselves, as struggling with difficult problems is a crucial part of the...

...University with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry. I am currently pursuing a Master in Chemical Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, with an expected graduation date of May 2017. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and chemistry. I use these almost every day and know them well. My hobbies and interests outside of tutoring include...

...at the same time. The teachers that stood out to me never failed to make whatever they were teaching enjoyable for the whole class. And that is what I believe is very important. If there is a way to make the material a little more bearable, it encourages students to want to learn.... I try to relate to the student and be patient. I also believe that asking questions to guide a student is important so...

I have truly enjoyed studying the sciences in my college years, and since then have enjoyed even more so to tutor the scientific concepts to others!... Teaching is gauged by the comprehension of the student. If one knows something well, they can help another understand it in terms beneficial for the learner!... I like to get an idea of the student's comfort level with the material, and whether or not the student recognizes exactly which hurdles...

...them. I have prepared students for IB and SAT and tutored Mathematics, Statistics, Chemistry, Engineering, Physics and Computer Science on various levels. Even though my tutoring experience is very extensive, I love teaching physics and calculus. It's something I have to use in my everyday life as a research assistant and I like visualizing examples...

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. Colin Powell... Put the student at ease, start off by introducing myself, tell them about my background, and explain why I love their subject.

...many things...an engineer, a mother of 2, crochet artist, amateur gardener, Taekwondo martial artist, all around fun chick. I enjoy helping people and math, so what better combination than math tutor. There's no such thing as a dumb question, so if you don't know...please ask. If I don't know, I might know someone that does.
