Zielinski Grade A Individualized Tutoring

My academic background, tutoring experience, and client reviews speak for themselves: http://www.care.com/p/kevinz295/tu

Students don't feel like they're doing the same old homework, studying, or test preparation when they receive tutoring lessons from me.  I try as much as possible to mix traditional didactic (lecture-style) teaching with more modern techniques that involve, to a great extent, interaction and discussion between student and teacher. 

Since my very first experience at 1-on-1 in-person tutoring a student--a bright, high school junior who found himself struggling with the Reading and English sections of the test--I've been happily tutoring a wide array of students, from middle school to college and graduate school, in a variety of subjects for over four years now.

As a senior in college, I was named an Illinois State Scholar, awarded the President's Education Award, earned an AP Scholar with Distinction Award, and was picked as the recipient of the Illinois General Assembly Legislative Scholarship which included a full academic scholarship to attend The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I earned a composite score of 30 on my ACT with a 35 in Reading (99th Percentile) and a 32 in English (98th Percentile). I also scored a 5/5 on my AP English Composition Examination. I'm extremely passionate about English, Reading, and Writing and specialize in tutoring these subjects to students in hopes that they might come to experience a similar enjoyment and proficiency in those subjects.                                                                                  

I earned my B.S. in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of Illinois in 2011. My tutoring expertise, therefore, extends from the humanities to the biological sciences with the latter resulting from successfully completing a rigorous and highly competitive undergraduate Biology degree with a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.53/4.0.

Pushing students further than they push themselves. 

The moment when a student finally grasps a concept that continuously and consistently eluded them. 

Turning C's into A's.

Giving the gift of confidence in terms of academic performance.
