A Little Bit About Me...

I am a University of Chicago graduate in English with a minor in Environmental Studies. I have always had a strong interest in and affinity for mathematics and the sciences, particularly Earth Sciences, and I am very familiar with Environmental Law in particular. I particularly enjoy reading (thus the English major) - poetry above all - and playing chess (for which I am also available as a tutor).

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching; it is my best talent. I understand that math is not a "favorite subject" to a lot of students. Working one on one in a tutoring situation gets past the negative block students have in a math classroom. Several of my private students have worked with me for several years. Their parents said that they felt more confident in the class room and in testing situations because of their work with me. In addition to tutoring in traditional school math subjects, I have also worked with several students on ACT preparation. All of these students achieved a higher score on these tests after working with me one on one.

Become a PHILOMATH (math lover)!

My teaching style is "old-school". I believe in fierce repetition, mandatory note-taking, and progressive difficulty of subject matter. I also encourage reading and thinking pragmatically and "outside of the box."

Read More About Isaac W...

The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to make lessons more fun and more significant. Rather than providing a mundane and meaningless list of facts, I explain the significance of the material by linking specific principles to larger themes. Towards these ends, I adjust my tutoring style to meet each student's academic and personal needs. I listen to my students, encouraging them to ask questions about the material I present. My background in mathematics enables me to provide difficult challenges for even the most able student, but I am also patient and thorough enough to get a struggling student back on track.
While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to stude ... read more
