Experienced Science teacher looking to see you excel
I have a PhD from Northwestern University. I have been a Science teacher for the past eleven years with a track record of success with students of varying abilities. In my classes, learning is fun because I provide hands-on learning opportunities with my students. In addition, I help make learning come alive through the use of online tools. As a tutor, I can prevent the kind of attention and support that I provide my student when they come outside of class time. I will learn your streng... Read more

You CAN Succeed!
I taught Sociology and Women's Studies at Oakton Community College for 28 years. And I love helping students succeed. I can help young students considering college for the first time or adults who are returning to college: figure out the financial aid maze, learn study strategies, learn how to write a college level paper, time management, and anything else that you think might be a barrier to your success. I believe people learn when the subject being taught is relevant and interesti... Read more

Eunice
Math Junkie with a passion for teaching!
Teaching has always been something I've been passionate about. Helping people get to that "aha!" moment is one of the most rewarding things for me--it feels good knowing that someone has had a breakthrough in how they see the world around them, even for something as simple as words and numbers on a page. I truly mean it when I say my style of teaching is student-centered. I hold students responsible for explaining their work and choices. My motto is that you can only claim to know something i...

I currently work in an administrative position at Northwestern University. I have a few students that I work with during my regular job hours and would like to add a few more students, as administrative work can be a bit repetitiv... Read more
