Stephanie H. - Danville, IL 61832 (37.7 mi) - Biology Tutor - $25.00/hr.
I have three years of teaching health education in the school system. This experience and my own personal experience have taught me that students sometimes need someone to show them a different way to study and learn. Each student is different and a general way of teaching may not work for everyone. I have tutored students in high school biology in the past. Hands-on. Teaching and studying is not all about reading from a book and retaining the knowledge. Activities and projects help students to retail the information.

Rebecca B. - Decatur, IL 62526 (40.4 mi) - Biology Tutor - $30.00/hr.
Received an A in Biology at Richland Community College in 2010, and received the distinguished award "Most Outstanding Biology Student of the Year" for 2010/2011 Academic School Year within the college. I also received a B in Microbiology the same year. I plan to continue my education in Molecular and Cellular Biology, and eventually Neurobiology. I am a natural teacher - it's what I do when I'm not getting paid. I just like to share knowledge of what, why, when, where, and how. I like the process of learning, and it is a privilege to get to witness, or even positively influence, that process in someone else. I have been paid for my teaching skills for the past 9 years, in various settings, including piano instruction, guitar instruction, tutoring at the Community College in Chemistry, Biology, and Microbiology, as well as assist teaching for the Decatur Public School District.

Tamara R - Champaign, IL 61822 (14.8 mi) - Biology Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have a BS in psychology with a minor in biology from the University of Illinois. My focus has been on medicine and science, working in adult medical education for over 12 years. I owned a medical education company for five years, working with physicians who would be considered the top two percent in their fields in the world. We developed curriculum for doctors, pharmacists and nurses to teach them about new drugs and new research, all with the hope of improving patient care. During this time, I honed my grammar skills by writing and editing journal articles and medical monographs.
Along with my experience in adult education, I have always had a love for children. Shortly after college, I worked in and then ran a before and after-school program for an elementary school. Over the years, I have helped students in an unofficial tutoring capacity in many subjects, from teaching m

Nirav P - Champaign, IL 61821 (14.9 mi) - Biology Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I like to help people in any way I can. I worked as tutor for federally funded TRIO department where I helped economically disadvantaged and first generation college students who had difficulty with the class material. I'm very patient, easy to get along with, and good at developing rapport with my students. I'm good at understanding students’ learning styles and very flexible in changing my teaching styles according to students' needs. I always try to make learning material interesting by relating it to the real life scenarios or other interesting examples with which students can relate to. My goal is to help students succeed in their education so that they could make a difference in their lives. I've earned BS in molecular and cellular Biology and Pre-Medicine. My educational background has helped me gain excellent understanding in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and math. I've also solid

Kenny B - Urbana, IL 61801 (16.3 mi) - Biology Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Albert Einstein has said, "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." The goal of my teaching style would to help bring joy in creative expression and knowledge to all of my students especially in the areas of math and science. I consider myself very approachable, understanding and patient. I also believe that my students need to learn discipline and integrity. I know that all students learn differently at various levels and I try to tailor my self for that student to learn the best way possible. I want not only my students to learn the material but also have an appreciation in what they are learning and to become lifelong learners. My vision is to help all students appreciate higher level of science and math education which I believe is a crucial component in the welfare and prosperity of our modern society.

Tiannan Z - Champaign, IL 61820 (16.8 mi) - Biology Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I would like to share my experience with the people I teach on how to use many of the short cuts in both math and physics for a better understanding of the topics covered. Also I encourage students to do as many practice problems as possible; I believe with enough practice, everyone can become experts even at the difficult topics. The education that I have received in Biology and Chemistry enabled me to develop excellent skills not only in many of the life sciences and physics but also math. I've always been really good with the sciences and ever since I can remember would help my classmates. I have volunteered to tutor biology and chemistry in college for almost 3 years. I've helped plenty of people before exams in those disciplines and I feel comfortable tutoring.

Yanhuan R - Urbana, IL 61801 (17 mi) - Biology Tutor - $55.00/hr.
I love teaching and working with children and adults alike. Everyone can learn; it is up to the teachers to find out how their students learn best. I was 14 years old when my younger brother was born, so I had the wonderful opportunity to learn firsthand that teaching requires a great deal of patience, knowledge, and flexibility. My goal in teaching is to maximize efficiency -- find out how the student learns best and tailor the teaching materials to meet his or her needs. My pre-medical school coursework allowed me to gain conceptual and hands-on understanding in the areas of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biology. In addition to my scientific training, I enrolled in the Honors program with a concentration on Western Civilization. The curriculum that the Honors program offered took me through the writings of Homer to the films of Roman Polanski. I have gained

Katharine C - Champaign, IL 61820 (17.2 mi) - Biology Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I believe that instilling a passion for math and science can only come from witnessing it. My tutoring style encompasses core knowledge, study skills, and real-world experience within the field of science. Your child's tutoring session will focus on how to find information needed in order to answer key questions along with providing insight into why science and math are imperative in today's world. When considering a tutor for your child, both academic excellence and teaching experience are critical factors. With double degrees in biology and chemistry, I am well-equipped with the knowledge to sculpt your child's science and math skills. My dedication can be seen through the various academic awards I received, such as graduating summa cum laude and being honored as the top organic chemist of my year. Having taught university-level supplemental chemistry courses for 3 years, I am well-ver

Erin H - Heyworth, IL 61745 (28.2 mi) - Biology Tutor - $58.50/hr.
I have really enjoyed teaching through coaching. Throughout my coaching career, I have worked with all different types of athletes who each learn things a little bit differently. Because of this, I have been able to practice presenting information in lots of different ways in order to get all types of learners to understand the material. As a student-athlete at Illinois State University, I learned many invaluable skills. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Physics as well as minors in both Mathematics and Exercise Science. Earning this degree as well as two minors has allowed me to gain a large amount of knowledge in both science and math. Being a student-athlete also taught me great leadership, hard work, teaching and time management skills. In my final year at Illinois State University, I taught a physics lab course. I have also spent many years coaching which has enabl

Jill M - Normal, IL 61761 (28.8 mi) - Biology Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I believe in using the environment and the interests of the child to teach any subject. It is important to capture the interest of the child so they are motivated to learn. Each child learns in different ways so I adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of the child. I believe in developing creative and engaging lessons. My ultimate goal is to have children succeed in education based on their abilities and learning experiences. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have endorsements in Science, Language Arts, and Social Science. I student taught 1st grade and spent the 2008-2009 school year as a Teaching Assistant for two Kindergarten classrooms. During my time as a student teacher and teaching assistant I have worked with students individually, small groups, and as a whole group.

Jason M - Bloomington, IL 61701 (29.6 mi) - Biology Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I believe that each and every student has an ability to learn and it is necessary to find a method of teaching conducive to the individual. For example, I was a student that learned though hands on activities and writing. Having a teacher stand and lecture never appealed to me. Other children, and adults, may be more apt to retain through reading or repetition. It is important to identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses in order for them to get the most out of their academic careers. I am a very patient person and have a wide range of teaching strategies. I have had practical experience working as a microbiology level I technician for a major pharmaceutical company. My primary duties included many of the bench chemistry and laboratory biology techniques from college. I have completed one year of post bachelor's education at Illinois State University and am currently one semes

John C - Normal, IL 61761 (29.7 mi) - Biology Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My teaching style is one which engages the student actively in the learning process. I have used the "popcorn" technique in a classroom, where I call out "popcorn", then call on someone at random. This ensures that each student in the class is following, or else they lose their turn to read.
If I'm working w/ a student w/ poor reading skills, I allow them to read, and help them w/ the difficult words, encouraging them to sound out the word. I also try to engage models, and kinestetics, in the learning process. One picture=1,000 words, and one model = 1,000 pictures. I also use these techniques in teaching mathematics. In college, I was a peer tutor in Math, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. I have sub-taught for CUSD 5, and CUSD 87, for 3 years. I have a Illinois Type 09 Certification, which is currently valid in McLean County. I have good grammar skills, and very good mathematica
