John
Algebra Tutor • +6 Subjects
I received my degree in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I have worked countless hours with classmates and friends tutoring them to prepare for exams and class projects. I currently tutor pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I love tutoring Trigonometry best because trig comes up countless times in engineering and it is now somewhat dear to my heart; however, Algebra is just as important since it is the building block towards something greater. My tutoring philosophy is that learning should be fun. The more you know, the stronger you are as a person. Learning shouldn't be a tedious exercise but an empowering tool. When I tutor, I attempt to inspire, to show the big picture and why this stuff matters by using real world examples that students can relate to. Education aside, I'm sure we have a lot in common. I'm a pretty normal guy who enjoys his down time. I like sci-fi movies and books, video games, biking, and hanging out with my friends. I think school and academics are very important; however, having fun and knowing who you are are just as crucial.
Emma
ACT Math Tutor • +20 Subjects
Hello! My name is Emma and I'm 23 years old. My tutoring experience began in high school when I tutored elementary, middle, and high school-aged students in math, Spanish, and language arts. In math specifically, I've tutored students in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and have experience working with students who have fear and/or low self-confidence in math. During college, in addition to completing a math minor, I tutored undergraduate and graduate students in statistics. I've also worked as a college instructor, and am familiar with learning processes. If needed, I can provide a reference from a family I've helped to tutor.Outside of my tutoring experience, I have a goal to run a 5K in every state in the U.S. with my mom! We have checked off 27 states so far! I also enjoy knitting, cooking, and reading!I'd love to be considered to tutor for you! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about me or my experience!

Taneka
IB Biology Tutor • +4 Subjects
My students would probably describe me as scientifically sound, passionate, energetic, creative, strict and diplomatic. I hold all of my students accountable and expect them to leave my classes understanding their material down to a Cellular and Molecular level.My background is Science, Research, Education and Fashion Design. I graduated with a B.S. (2003) and M.S. (2007) in Molecular, Cellular and Microbial Biology. I completed my thesis in an Immunology lab that focused on the introduction of immunological cells, such as T-Cells, Dendritic Cells and Macrophages. I analyzed my results through many arrays of mRNA and Protein analysis; such as Real-Time PcR, Western Blots, Immunohistochemistry, and FACs Analysis. I then pursued a Ph.D at Northwestern University in 2006. During this time, I published the results of my Prostate Cancer research surrounding Developmental Biology at the Robert H. Lurie Research Center of Children's Memorial Hospital. After leaving the Ph.D. Program, I began teaching Biology courses at C.S.U. This led me back to school to complete a M.A.T. and Secondary Teaching Certificate at National-Louis University. I then taught for Chicago Public Schools from Middle School to Senior Level, alongside of teaching Biology courses for City Colleges of Chicago. After the major turn-around that occurred for CPS in 2013, I decided to expand upon my Fashion Engineering skills and enroll in a Fashion Design Program. I recently completed my B.F.A. in Fashion Design this past March (2016). Fashion Design has led me into designing, drafting and sewing my own collections; along with working for a modern-day, British, shirt-making company focusing on Visuals, Operations and Sales."The unseen threads that link us together sustain our existence, explain our connections, and define our destiny." ~T.s. Douglas, 2016
Ahmani
Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects
I am a junior at the University of North Florida. I am a double major, my first major being Math Education with a concentration in grades 6-12 and my second major being Mathematics.Math has always been my strong suit and I have always loved helping people with their math. However, being a math teacher was not my first career choice. Before college, I thought of being an OBGYN, right before I went to college, I changed my mind to be an Athletic Trainer.I finally decided to change my major to Math Education after helping 3 friends pass their college math classes. And after my first official tutoring gig, I decided to add the second major, Mathematics, so that I can get a deeper concept of math.Currently, I work at Panera Bread and also the UNF Preschool. Although I will keep both jobs, I want to tutor to really get that experience of helping different students with their math, as each student is different and may need different teaching styles.

Feroz
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a medical student who took time off between my 3rd and 4th year to conduct orthopedic research at NYU medical center. I love the medical field and would like to pursue a career in orthopedics. The aspect of medicine that I hold most dearly is always having interaction and hopefully having a change to leave a positive impression. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their story. If there is anything I can do to help them on their journey, it would be my pleasure. I grew up outside of Chicago, have travelled around the world, and snowboard as much as I can every winter. I've always been interested in medicine and that goal has always driven me to try my hardest and be all that I can be, not only in school, but in every aspect of life. That's my story, but I want to hear yours. Let me help you reach your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kindergarten Science focuses on observational skills and foundational concepts, but students often struggle with connecting what they observe to scientific explanations. Common challenges include understanding life cycles (why plants need water and sunlight), grasping basic physical properties (why some objects sink while others float), and developing patience for careful observation. Many students also find it difficult to move beyond "I see it" to "Why is it happening?" — this shift from observation to simple reasoning is a key developmental milestone that tutoring can support.
Hands-on exploration is essential for Kindergarten learners, who are concrete thinkers and learn best through direct sensory experience. A tutor working with a Kindergartener might conduct simple experiments like observing how plants respond to light, exploring how different materials feel and behave, or investigating basic cause-and-effect with water and objects. These activities help students build scientific thinking skills — asking questions, making predictions, and testing ideas — while keeping learning playful and developmentally appropriate.
Kindergarten Science vocabulary (like "living," "growing," "weather," "sink," "float") needs to be taught through repeated, meaningful exposure rather than memorization. A tutor introduces these words in context during hands-on activities, uses consistent language across lessons, and encourages students to use new words to describe what they observe. This approach helps young learners connect words to real experiences, making vocabulary stick naturally rather than feeling like rote learning.
Kindergarteners have naturally short attention spans, so effective science tutoring breaks lessons into short, engaging segments with plenty of movement and sensory exploration. A tutor might spend 5-10 minutes on focused observation, then switch to a hands-on activity, then a quick discussion — keeping students actively involved rather than passively listening. This varied pacing, combined with activities that feel like play rather than "school," helps young learners stay engaged while building genuine scientific curiosity.
Asking questions is at the heart of scientific thinking, and Kindergarteners are naturally curious — a tutor's job is to channel that curiosity productively. Rather than just answering "Why?" questions, a tutor helps students explore answers through observation and simple experiments. For example, if a student asks "Why do plants need water?", a tutor might set up a comparison where one plant gets water and another doesn't, letting the student discover the answer over time. This approach teaches scientific reasoning, not just facts.
Kindergarteners are still developing independence and often hesitate to try new things or admit confusion in group settings. A tutor creates a safe, pressure-free environment where it's okay to make mistakes, ask "silly" questions, and explore at the student's own pace. This individualized attention helps build confidence in their ability to observe, think, and discover — skills that extend far beyond science and support overall academic growth and curiosity.
Absolutely — tutors often share simple, low-prep activities families can do together, like observing insects in the yard, growing seeds in cups, sorting objects by properties, or watching weather patterns. These home extensions reinforce what students learn in tutoring sessions and help parents understand how to support their child's scientific thinking without needing special materials or expertise. Consistency between tutoring and home learning strengthens both skills and enthusiasm for science.
A strong Kindergarten Science tutor combines patience with genuine enthusiasm for exploration, understands child development and how young children learn, and can design activities that are both engaging and educational. They should be comfortable with open-ended, messy learning (literal and figurative), skilled at asking questions that encourage thinking rather than just providing answers, and able to adapt on the fly based on a child's interests and energy level. Above all, they model curiosity and make science feel like fun discovery, not formal instruction.
