Brandon S.
Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
I'm a second-year Religious Studies and Philosophy Major at the University of Chicago. GPA: 3.710.
Experience
Hi, I’m Brandon. I'm from a small postal district in Pennsylvania called Etters. Consequently, I’m having a phenomenal time in Chicago, where every day brings new experiences to learn from, new faces to meet, and new places to explore. I tutor because I deeply enjoy illuminating discussion. Indeed, I view tutoring as a two-way exchange: On the one hand, I have the opportunity to foster in another a new appreciation for a particular subject and for learning in general — a process uniquely rewarding. On the other hand, I have the opportunity to encounter others’ unique personalities and learning styles, and thus reevaluate and reframe the subjects I’m most passionate about. Tutoring Experience: In high school, I tutored middle school students in algebra and college students in multivariable calculus. I've taken the Honors Calculus Sequence and numerous linguistics, philosophy, and humanities courses. Tests and Scores: I received a 770 in SAT math and a 730 in SAT Reading. Moreover, I received an 800 in the SAT Subject Test: Math Level 2 and a 740 in the SAT Subject Test: Literature. Furthermore, I received scores of 5 in AP Calculus BC, AP Literature and Composition, AP Language and Composition, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Psychology, and AP U.S. History.

Hobbies
I love exploring Chicago and meeting new people. In particular, I like going to inexpensive concerts with friends, where I simultaneously have exceptional fun and expand my musical horizons, and I like finding new places to eat. During my downtime, I like reading philosophy, linguistics, and comparative religion books. Furthermore, I spend quite a bit of time playing and studying chess, playing video games, listening to music, reading biographies, and having fun with friends.
