Marcy
Certified, MA'd English/Writing/Test Prep Instructor
With 20+ years' experience tutoring/teaching, I've seen it all -- every ability, confidence level, and challenge. I've taught middle school science and social studies, high school writing and test prep, college composition and literature, and recently served as a K-2 interventionist at a nearby charter school. As schools focus more on group projects (and even group writing assignments!), it's more important than ever to build a foundation of fundamental skills -- the analytical reading and w... Read more
Meera
Psychologist with a Passion for Music
Hi, I'm Meera! I graduated from UIUC with a degree in Psychology (focusing mostly on clinical and community psychology). Ever since I was little, school was the most boring part of my day, not because I didn't love learning, but because school never made learning fun. In my time outside of classes, even throughout college, I did so many other activities to learn more about the world around me - piano, violin, Indian classical singing, Indian classical dance, track, robotics, Model United Nati...

Experienced French Teacher & Tutor With Study Abroad Background
As a Louisiana native, I starting learning French in the 4th grade. I quickly fell in love with the language and culture and continued my studies for 15 years.

Hungry for more, I majored in French in college and tutored the language for three years while working at the University's language lab. I... Read more

Senior Medical Student
I am a fourth year medical student with a passion for teaching since I was 11. Before my college tutoring career, I spent many holidays in my family backyard with chalk and a blackboard where I taught the younger kids in my neighborhood grammar and math. In college, I joined the big leagues, tutoring Neuropsychology, and raised my student's grade from a 'D-' to an 'A-'. I also tutored organic chemistry, which has remained the only chemistry I really enjoy. In medical school, I was a teaching ... Read more
Svein
Patient and Knowledgeable Math and Science Tutor
I have a fascination with math and science and I love sharing this knowledge. I have found most students can develop the understanding for these subjects if you find the right starting points, building bit by bit on what the they already understands. Note, I am not a teacher by profession; I developed my love and skill in training and mentoring students and adults by 30 years as IT consultant, where a large part of the job was to get new recruits up to speed, educate clients, and run trainin...
