Award-Winning Tutors from Loyola University-Chicago

I have an unparalleled passion for learning. I graduated summa cum laude from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Additionally, I minored in Business. I am working toward my Juris Doctor at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. I love sharing my love for learning by helping others reach their academic potential. As a tutor, I believe teaching should be tailored to suit each student's needs. Students learn best from different teaching styles. I am devoted to helping my students in a personalized fashion that allows them to achieve their academic goals. I tutor American history, Spanish, writing, reading, political science and social studies.

I am a rising sophomore at Loyola University Chicago. I am also a pre-med student working towards a double major in biology and sociology with a concentration in health and society. I have been in the Chicago area for the past 6 years, where I attended Adlai E. Stevenson High School. I started tutoring as a peer tutor in high school, and I am able to help in subjects from elementary math and science to college level reading and writing. I also have had experience in tutoring GED classes and continue to volunteer at a local community center. I believe in helping my students first grasp a firm understanding of foundational concepts through practice. I make sure to get to know my students and their preferred learning style, so I can figure out the best way to help them meet their individual goals.

I am a sophomore at Loyola University Chicago majoring in Biology and minoring in Psychology. I am on the pre-med track, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I love working with children, especially tutoring them as they have creative minds and I think it is an honor to be able to help them develop into the best forms of themselves through learning. I have volunteered for multiple summers being a teaching assistant for Spirit Camp at Holy Family Parish, mainly working with children ages 2-10. I have also tutored elementary reading and math to children in my neighborhood.I can tutor in a broad range of subject matter, but I especially love tutoring elementary/middle school math, elementary/middle school reading and writing, high school English (grammar/syntax, reading, essay writing/editing, paper writing, etc.), and any area of science covered through middle school. Also, I have gone through the college process, and I would love to advise anyone who needs help with college essays or personal statements.Education is necessary for a good quality of life, and my goal as a tutor is to help my students understand the materials necessary to make them functional and happy to indulge in learning. I approach teaching in an inquisitive style, asking questions of students and breaking larger problems down into smaller sections. It is important that students answer for themselves rather than someone else doing their work for them, and I am here to help guide them through their schooling and answer any questions they may have.Outside of tutoring and studying, I enjoy photography, learning how to cook, and occasionally playing Minecraft with my younger sister.

I am a former special education teacher, teaching mostly in the Chicago Public Schools. As a special ed teacher I taught all subjects in my classroom which was primarily 5th-8th grades. My classes had students of multiple grades together so my teaching related to a variety of grades and ability levels. I also assisted in the regular education classrooms at times. I am familiar with IEP's, having written them and taught towards the goals in them. I have spent considerable time working to prepare my students for standardized tests required by the state or district. While taking classes towards my certification I worked as a one to one aide in two different school districts in Chicago's northwest suburbs. While I taught all subjects, I am most comfortable tutoring elementary language arts, reading and writing, US History and some elementary mathematics. For several recent years I was a tutor with Oakton Community College's VITA Program where ESL adults worked weekly to improve their reading fluency, phonics and writing abilities. Because of my special education background, my philosophy towards learning is that everyone has a different and often unique way that they learn. Finding that method is what I try to determine so I can help them improve whatever subject they have difficulty with. I love to read myself and read the classics, mystery, action novels and because I do like history, I have read many biographies on American figures and the eras they lived. For me, reading opens us up to a world of new interests to explore as well as basic daily functioning and I consider it a vital skill.I have a BA in Communications from Loyola University of Chicago and an MA in Special Education from Northeastern Illinois University.

I am pursing my Masters in Medical Sciences, from graduating with my bachelors in biology from Loyola University Chicago last year. I will be continuing my education by getting my masters and eventually medical school, but in the meantime I would like to make use of how I have dedicated my life to education and helping to pass on my knowledge to others. I have been speaking Spanish for 10 years now as my fourth language and I am tutoring in Spanish (all levels, A1-C2) and linguistics. To have effective learning, it is imperative to have a good foundation of structure, lesson plans, and engaging learning activities to have the student become comfortable with real-life communication and comprehension. I use curative, teaching certified lesson plans, including all the parts of the language: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. My students and I will alternate between these four skills, becoming more comfortable with each of them overtime and integrating them all. In addition, I find much joy and take a lot of pride in my efforts to have become educated and educate those around me. I love to take the time to help people feel seen, appreciated, and to provide any support that I can to ensure my students are able to move forward on their own, especially since I have struggled with a learning disability myself and have only ever wished for someone to be patient with me and my learning. I have experience teaching students with disabilities, different learning preferences, faster and slower learning paces, and all over the USA! You will find I am flexible with my schedule also and can personalize lessons plans accordingly. I also like to do periodical check-ups and assessments to see the progress the student and I are making and seeing how we can only grow more! I have lived in three Spanish speaking countries such as Spain, Belize, and Chile. I have also spent a lot of time, a few + months, in Madrid, Barcelona, and Santiago de Chile with close friends, much like family, and I have visited Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, and Mallorca (a Spanish Gran Canarias Island). I also live in Chicago where the culture is very Mexican influenced so I have experience with the Mexican dialect and cultural customs. My mother also lives in Florida so I've had exposure to the Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican dialects and cultures as well. This has allowed me to expand my cultural awareness and become comfortable with different dialects, customs, and even jargon and slang! This list will only continue to grow hopefully!

I have my law degree from Notre Dame University and my undergraduate degrees in Political Science and Communications Studies from Loyola University Chicago. I am passionate about the importance of education and hope to be able to help my students attain their goes. I am particularly passionate about and experienced with helping in all levels of reading, writing, editing, English, public speaking, and political science. Additionally, as a law school graduate and someone that was successful on the LSAT, I am experienced with helping students effectively prepare for the LSAT.

Since I was a little girl, history has been in my blood, although being a historian was never my plan (I wanted to be an actress). Growing up I was fascinated with Abraham Lincoln and the untimely passing of such a prominent public figure. I loved every trip to the Chicago Historical Society (known today as the Chicago History Museum) as a child. I enjoyed reading about the Puritans and the Native American culture.At this point I'm comfortable classifying myself as a historian although it took me awhile to get to this point in my life. In 1999, I received my B.A. in History from Loyola University Chicago and in 2002, I received my M.A. in Public History from the same school. I then went on to earn my Ph.D. in American History from Northern Illinois University in 2011.I teach college history online full time and I have taught numerous survey and upper-division American history classes at local "traditional" colleges and universities. When I teach, I don't necessarily focus on the facts of history, but on the larger transitions. I want students to understand how history has changed over time. I also try to convey to students that history can be fun to learn.In my personal life, I am the mother of two small children and I have been married for fifteen years. I workout regularly, but I also enjoy being a couch potato. I love being with my kids and husband. Oh and I love Doctor Who! I also enjoy spending time with my friends, debating current issues, history, and historiography.

I am a graduate of Loyola University Chicago. I received a Bachelor's in Environmental Engineering with a minor in History. I have 3 years of experience working with kids from elementary school to high school. I was also a TA and mentor for younger engineering students in college. I encourage students to ask questions, and my goal is to help them become independent problem solvers. I love to learn and challenge myself, and I try to make learning fun and engaging so that enthusiasm rubs off on my students.

I pride myself in bringing professional education and professional experience together to create context to help you understand things that are difficult to understand without a combination of education and experience. I believe in lifelong learning, helping others succeed, and trying to make the learning process fun!

I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with an MS in Microbiology and Immunology with an emphasis in Immunology. I also received a BA in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. Throughout my schooling I have had experience tutoring/teaching my colleagues in both group and one-on-one settings. What I have learned is no student learns material the same way. It takes dialogue between tutor, students, and parents to determine the best plan of action for the student to attain their academic goals. I believe in an active learning environment that includes discussion-based learning, supplemented with hands on learning activities within my sessions that is specifically tailored to each student's needs and grade level.

I am a second year student at Loyola University Chicago pursuing a double major in Spanish and Cell & Molecular Neuroscience!I have a strong background in science and mathematics, especially in biology, anatomy, and medical terminology as well as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Additionally, I am incredibly passionate about history and social sciences, haven taken AP United States History, AP Human Geography, and AP Psychology in high school.As a language student that has been learning Spanish for seven years (and counting), I am very comfortable in helping you improve your language skills and guiding you on how to adapt learning a language in a way that suits your learning style best.In the past, I have been a teacher at a learning center for students ages 3+, teaching them in mathematics and English reading. As a teacher, I was able to acquire the skills of adapting my teaching style to individualize and meet a student's specific needs and learning style.Outside of my academics and tutoring, I enjoy photography, art, and music and I play the violin, guitar, piano, as well as sing.

I'm an Undergraduate student at Loyola University Chicago in the Education program. I am studying Bilingual/Bi-cultural and Elementary Education as a major. I truly believe the key to a bright future begins in the classroom, and that each student deserves the chance to succeed in school and beyond. I strive to do all I can to give students the confidence, skills and knowledge they need to be the best versions of themselves they can be. I have taken classes in teaching and taught, in classrooms, Reading and Writing, Social Studies, Science, and, my personal favorite, Math, at the Elementary and Middle School levels. In addition, I have experience teaching music, study skills, public speaking, and, as a fluent Spanish speaker, varying levels of Spanish.

My name is Alex. I am a 27 year-old student studying for my doctorate in Spanish Literature at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. I earned Master's in Spanish at Loyola University Chicago and my B.A. in Spanish at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. I've studied in Spain and for two years I lived and worked in Peru. I enjoy teaching and tutoring, and I love speaking Spanish!In my spare time, I am very active; I run with my dog, hunt pheasants, and fish. I like to watch my hometown sports teams and play pick-up hockey when I can. Multilingualism is a hobby of mine, and I'm currently studying French, German, and Latin.Students who are self-starters and independent thinkers will benefit most from my tutoring. I wish to facilitate your learning process, not be the primary active agent in it. You as the student are responsible for how motivated you are to learn.

Nathan...One of the things I find most rewarding is explaining math. My career goal is to become a college professor, teach math, and do research. I am currently a Senior with a math major at Loyola University Chicago and have been accepted to their masters program. I also like playing tennis, whiffle ball, and writing poetry.

I have recently graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a BS in Psychology and a BA in Latin! I was also part of their Undergraduate Honors Program and hope to become a clinical psychologist. I love tutoring because knowledge is priceless and must be shared. As a tutor, I believe it's my job to not only help students understand what they're working on, but to build enough of a knowledge base that they can confidently and independently solve similar problems in the future. I am currently an adult ESL tutor at the Loyola Literacy Center. I have a lot of experience working with children as well. I volunteered at the summer camps at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens from 2015-2017 and more recently I worked at a crisis shelter in Cincinnati. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I especially enjoy English, Literature, and History because I think self-expression and interpersonal understanding are valuable skills that stretch far beyond academia. I also really enjoy math! When I'm not tutoring or studying for classes, I love playing soccer, reading, writing, translating, and exploring.

I am very passionate about tutoring and look forward to meeting new students with a desire to learn!

I am a former middle school teacher currently working in higher education. I have a Bachelors Degree in Mass Communications from Saint Xavier University, and a Master's Degree in Education from Loyola University. My extensive experience in education ranges from teaching in a traditional classroom setting and non-traditional settings to children and adults. Being fluent in Spanish, I have experience teaching Spanish to English speakers and English to Spanish speakers. I have a huge passion for music, and have been playing guitar for 12 years. I truly believe that everyone can learn and succeed given the right support and structure and it would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to assist you in reaching your academic goals.

I am a experienced professional with Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) graduate degree and Bsc. (Bachelors of Science) in Biology and Business Administration. Apart from my professional experience, I have a passion for running, volunteer teaching and reading. I also play the keyboard and listen to instrumental music in my free time.

I started working with an after-school program in late 2012. I tutored K-8 in various subjects. I then moved on to tutor adults, and I currently tutor freshman and sophomores in the Chicago Public High School setting. I believe education is vital to advance in life and I want to make it fun for whoever I come across.

My experience with tutoring goes back to high school. I tutored math (and other subjects when needed) for three years at Niles North High School. I am also majoring in mathematics at Loyola University of Chicago.Although by personality I am an introvert, I enjoy meaningful relationships and am eager to build them with whomever I meet.As for teaching, I strive to be flexible in my teaching methods as I understand all tutees learn differently. For this reason, I try to make myself as available and open as possible so that the tutee may share his/her concerns, questions, and/or suggestions with me. I believe learning is a two-way process therefore open communication is essential. I take feedback very seriously and adjust my methods accordingly.Overall, my goal is to provide my clients with service that not only focuses on absorbing information but also on enriching their relationship with mathematics.

I hope to make math less scary! We can chit-chat and laugh while we solve problems. With a growth mindset, you can really learn anything you're set to.

I teach Spanish at a local university, and have begun to offer tutoring services as well! I've lived in Spain, travelled to Latin America, and have 5 years of teaching experience, both in Spain and in the US.

I studied Biology and Fine Arts at Loyola University Chicago, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree through the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. Currently, I am a student at Midwestern University where I am working towards the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. In my free time I enjoy painting, fitness classes such as Zumba and Turbo Kick, and I never miss a chance to go to a symphony concert!During my undergraduate studies I tutored children grade 3 through 12 in various subject areas: math, science, English, writing. I worked both with students who needed additional help to comprehend a subject area, and with children who already excelled, but wished to push their grades to the maximum. I adjust my tutoring style to each student, but I always focus on understanding the main idea and purpose behind the material in order to eliminate memorization whenever possible.In particular, I enjoy teaching science because it fascinates me. Other areas that I tutor are : ACT preparation, math (through pre-calculus), English language and writing. I take pride in watching my students truly understand the material and reach their goals and beyond!

I am currently a student at Loyola University in Chicago with an undeclared major in the field of psychology. I love to learn, and I enjoy helping others find their own love of learning while achieving their academic goals. I have worked with kindergartners, high school students, and many grades in between. I have tutored students in math, reading, spelling, writing, and science. Of these, my favorite has to be math, because I find it to be the most concrete and logical. However, I aspire to spend more time reading and discussing fiction, both professionally and casually. When I'm not reading or watching Netflix, I like hiking and exploring different parts of the city.

I gained the majority of my tutoring experience from working as a high school science teacher for a prestigious independent school in Chicago. With our small class sizes, I gave lots of one-on-one attention to students both during and after class. Though I decided a teaching career is not for me, I miss the one-on-one interactions I had with students and helping them with their individual needs. I learned that patience, attention, and time will get almost any student anywhere they may want to go academically. While some students may not receive the accolades they desire to obtain, if a student begins to appreciate the path and process of learning by itself, they will find they are rarely disappointed with their academic results.Although my degrees are in Chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring physics and statistics. Those two subjects are notorious for producing a fair amount of anxiety in students, so I relish in showing how manageable physics and statistics can be for anyone. I help students learn how to overcome their anxieties by guiding them to become better problem solvers. The problem solving skills they will develop under my tutelage will be useful not only in those subjects but carry over to other academic subjects and life in general.My academic background includes graduating from Loyola University Chicago with a BA in Chemistry and Physics minor. I received a MS in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University specializing in Theoretical/Physical Chemistry. I will be starting a Master’s program in the fall for Data Science at IIT. During that time, I will continue to tutor. When I am not "nerding" out on programming and science, I relax over video games, board games with friends, and playing the piano.

I recently graduated from law school and attended college at Saint Mary's in Indiana. I am originally from the Austin, TX area but am happy to call Chicago "home". As a younger student English and Social Studies always came easily to be but I struggled with Math quite a bit and had to work hard to master the subject material. I understand the position of being a student working to understand a difficult concept and I think that helps me when tutoring students. I tutored high school and elementary students in high school and college.Outside of law school and tutoring I enjoy exploring our beautiful city, picking up interesting books at book fairs and used book festivals and taste testing cider. I'm a laid back and patient tutor which I think helps when working with a student who is struggling in addition to having been in their position at one time myself.

I have three years of tutoring under my belt; I tutored high school students as a National Honors Society member and prepared juniors to take the SAT. I can assist students in algebra, reading comprehension, environmental science, improving writing skills and editing essays. Personally, I've studied for and taken multiple AP exams and the ACT so I can give advice and and aid in preparation for other to do so. I also have experience tutoring elementary school students and adapting my tutoring style to fit the needs of the pupil.

My name is Shima Wang. I come from China, and has been United States for 8 years. My favorites are music, movies, traveling, and foods. I would love to communicate with others about my interests. Learning a foreign language would be boring, but trying to get started from what you are interested might be a good method. I really hope you could have fun while learning Chinese.

I'm a grad student at DePaul University, finishing my Masters in Physics. I did my undergrad at Loyola University Chicago where I received a degree in biophysics. I'm working towards applying to medical school. I love science and math, and have been tutoring for the past 7 years in math, science and English writing. I'm always excited to help and pass along the knowledge I've gained throughout my schooling to those in need of tutoring.

My name is Kira, and I am currently working towards a degree in Spanish and Dance at Loyola University Chicago.

I have been teaching English as a Second Language for over twenty years to adults in class room settings at community college, private international companies and currently online one-on-one . At the start of the first lesson, I take the time to get know the person, their likes and dislikes, extra activities and what that person hopes to accomplish with short and long term goals. I personalize lessons to the student's goals and always check the student is pleased and eager to learn in a safe and enjoyable setting. My background is especially skilled at identifying opportunities for improvement, with proven ability to create an environment which leads the student to personal improvement and growth.

I am a graduate of Indiana University with a Bachelors in Science with majors in Public Finance and Legal Studies. I also graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a Masters of Science in Finance with a concentration in Risk Management. Professionally I have held positions in wealth management, credit analysis, financial analysis, risk analysis, and data analytics. I enjoy learning more programming languages (currently working on SQL) and developing skills in querying and building algorithms for statistical analysis.

I work as a Microbiologist, and I love to share my knowledge with others. Sometimes I do it by singing, conversations with friends, or by tutoring. No matter the mechanism, teaching and learning are my life!

I find passion in tutoring beyond simply teaching a concept. Watching someone accomplish a goal that you have helped them achieve is truly priceless. While overall comprehension is certainly important, I strive to teach others how to overcome problems using their existing knowledge. Through this, they can build the confidence to overcome future obstacles by themselves. Along this basis I specially tailor each tutoring session to individual needs in order to reach success.A little about me, I am currently a double major at Loyola University pursuing a B.S. in Biology along with a Master's in Business Administration. I have a wide range of academic interests, which have given me a strong foundation to teach a variety of topics. My professional experience, most recently managing large-scale business operations, has taught me how to lead others towards success and how to work with individuals of varying backgrounds.I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I have a bachelors degree in Biology from Loyola University Chicago, as well as a bachelors degree in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago. Between earning my two bachelors degrees, I was in the PharmD program at the University of Minnesota. I dropped out halfway through upon realizing that I would not be happy pursuing a career in that field. I enjoy helping students learn and understand subjects ranging from math, sciences, writing, art, etc.

I graduated from Loyola with a BBA Finance in 2010 and a BS in Physics in 2012.I currently split my time between the city (Lakeview/Lincoln Park in Chicago) and the west suburbs (Addison, IL).When I am tutoring a student, I look to make a problem applicable to the student's experiences. I look to show them the parallels between things they are familiar with and the problem in question.Seeing a student's realization that they can solve a problem brings me satisfaction.In my free time, I enjoy computer programming, plane spotting, reading, 3d modeling, Aviation, playing basketball and soccer, and DJ'ing.

I have 17 years teaching experience. I love teaching, whether it be with children or adults! It is my passion. I have experience teaching Reading, Writing, English, Elementary or Middle School Math and College Psychology and just about any grade or course in Special Education. I use an abundance of techniques from mnemonic strategies to games, tricks, reverse teaching, and so forth until I find what works for the student ! I believe everyone can learn if given a chance.I have had much success not only in teaching my students to pass their courses but in preparing them and helping them pass State and National tests. I have been told that I am a patient teacher and I like to think that is true.

I am a student at Loyola University Chicago pursuing a History major and Math and Spanish minors.I study History because I think understanding the problems and decisions of the past can help inform our decisions to shape the future. I love problem-solving and I see the study of History as a way to inspire our future solutions.It is in part due to this that seeing all the inequalities in the world and knowing something can be done inspires me to work to alleviate these inequities and work to better our communities. I know many people have an ignored voice and I want to help them be heard.

Education is the key to success!
