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

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.

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

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
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
