Amanda
Language and Writing Tutor
I have tutored students of all ages, primarily in English, Algebra, phonetics/grammar and social studies. I am not able to tutor in mathematics at this time. I like to address each student's preferred learning style, and develop techniques to cater to an individual's strengths. I think it is important to be thorough and creative and I enjoy taking varied approaches to instruction that will build confidence in the subject matter and encourage interaction and thoughtful responses. I do not beli... Read more
Jesus
Hello, I am a CS major in Engineering at UIUC.
My name is Jesus F. I am from a small Chicago suburb called Stone Park, and currently attend The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a Computer Science major. Although I have only been in the university for 2 years, I am a junior and am on track to graduate by Spring of 2019. The reason I like to tutor is because I really enjoy the feeling of making another person's day better by helping them with something they were struggling with for a while. In addition, I am a firm believ... Read more
Xinyu
Chinese Teaching
I am a second year student of University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with an urban planning major. I come from China and already got a Chinese Teaching Certification. Last summer, I had some experience about teaching Chinese. My student was a fresh year college boy from Russia. He has some basic knowledge about PINYIN, a system of Chinese pronunciation and Chinese input. However, his writing and speaking skills were a little bit weak, so that I designed classes for him focusing on writing... Read more

History and writing can be fun!
Hi, my name is Thomas. I hold a BA and an MA in History from San Francisco State University. I have presented my scholarship throughout the country and am currently editing a collection of historical essays for Ohio University Press.

This range of experience means that I am sensitive to learners from a wide range of backgrounds. I will do my best to help... Read more

Mark
English, History, Divinity, ACT, AP, College Apps.
What makes me an outstanding tutor is my passion for learning and my commitment to my students. The University of Illinois awakened my love for history, religions, and literature. Moreover, at the University of Chicago I grew exponentially at the hands of some of the world's greatest thinkers in religious studies. Just as precious was the hours after lecture at the Swift Hall Coffee shop or at a friend's apartment discussing these ideas. For me, conversation is much more play than work. ... Read more
Melissa
Biology, Nursing, Anat/Phys, test taking skills
I enjoy learning and sharing/teaching in many areas. After my first degree, I entered into biological field work for a year, but found it unsatisfying. I started working for myself and learning new skills, free-lancing as an independent contractor. At first challenging and fun, it became less so over the years and I found myself debating between going back to school in teaching or nursing. I enjoy working one on one with people to achieve mutual goals. I began teaching as a substitute a... Read more

Now, I am going to start university this fall at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the pursuit of a degree in physics. In high school, I was apart of a group called PLAN NIS where we tutored students, and the money we ... Read more

Rodrigo
Deaf College Student, 15+ years of ASL experience
My name is Rodrigo S. I am currently a student at the University of Illinois, majoring in History with a minor in Secondary Education. I started my heightened interest in both History and teaching in high school, all due to the wonderful teachers I admired. Attending the University of Illinois only solidifies that desire and passion for History Teaching. While History stands to be a subject that many might dislike due in part that it does little to contribute to the future, it still holds a v... Read more
