Cheryl
Trinity College London Graduate for Violin and Piano
Hello! I am Cheryl and I have an Associateship and Licentiate Diploma in Violin Performance! With my past 4+ years of music teaching, I realized how engaging students are when given mini music-related games to play during class time. Whether it be flashcards note recognition, or telling stories through music, I love making my lessons an interactive experience. I like letting students pick the pieces they want to play, as they can discover joy in making music. The students' enthusiasm and pass... Read more

Jesus
Patient and Knowledgeable Northwestern Math Tutor
Hi, I’m Jesus! I’m a junior at Northwestern University double majoring in Mathematics and Economics, where I maintain a 3.89 GPA and have made Dean’s List 7 out of 7 quarters.

Steve
Award-Winning Double Bass Teacher & Performer is a Patient Tutor!
I have performed and taught on the double bass in Illinois for several decades. My musical travels have taken me as far away as Japan, Germany, New Zealand, and Kenya. My teaching has seen me work effectively with very young beginners, hundreds of middle- and high school age students, college level, and adult beginners. My former students can be found performing with such elite classical ensembles as the Chicago Symphony and the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and touring with professional jaz... Read more
Jake
MBA student & former English teacher
Nice to meet you! For some context on me: I'm originally from New York City but have moved around a lot. I went to boarding high school in Massachusetts, and college at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I then spent two years teaching 9th Grade English through Teach For America in the Bay Area. My years teaching, my passion for the humanities (especially History and English), and my excitement about standardized testing (strange, I know) make me very excited to teach again as a tutor. ...

I love to teach. I love listening and learning how today's s... Read more
