Allison C.
Tutor
Bio:
– Hi, my name is Alison and I am a freshman at Princeton University. I plan to pursue a degree in either Anthropology or Neuroscience on the Pre-Med track. I am also a dedicated violinist, and my experiences with music have taught me the importance of passions—the arts or athletics, for example—in learning, health, and beyond.
– I graduated from Glenbrook North High School as a member of the Class of 2026, earning a weighted GPA of 5.0 and a 36 on the ACT. I was also one of three students to receive a scholarship from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation after three advancement rounds, including a top 1% score on the PSAT 11 and an essay.
– My educational journey has been full of twists and turns, and as a tutor, I hope to help other students navigate their academics, time management, and extracurriculars. Beyond teaching students to simply solve the problems in front of them, my goal is to aid the development of personalized studying, thinking, and problem-solving skills that are applicable to a broad range of subjects and fields. I have tutored students between the first and eleventh grades, and it is always a joy to share new understandings and capabilities with them.

Lily S.
Tutor
Bio:
– Hi, I’m Lily and I’m a senior at Glenbrook North High School. I love helping others learn and grow, which is why I’ve expanded my role as in-school tutor (for all of high school) to include tutoring outside of school as well!
– I’m planning on going into Neuroscience/Neuropsychology, as I’ve always been curious/fascinated by the brain as well as by how people think, learn, and respond differently to their environment. Yet, I’m also fascinated by math, physics, and Spanish, for these subjects help us understand the world around us.
– As an Honor Roll Student, I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and scored a 1510 on the SAT (equivalent to a 34 on the ACT). I’ve also earned the Seal of Biliteracy for Spanish.
– Throughout high school, I’ve always prioritized schoolwork and became the person people came to when they needed help. When teachers pointed out my strong people skills, I extended my time with children from just volunteering, coaching, and babysitting to include tutoring as well.
– I understand that learning happens differently for everyone. Therefore, the most meaningful part of helping someone learn isn’t simply explaining something until they understand it—it’s helping them believe they can figure out the next steps.

Gillian H.
Tutor
Bio:
– Hello! My name is Gillian, and I am a rising sophomore at Baylor University in Waco, TX. I am a Medical Humanities major with a minor in Biochemistry on the pre-medical track. I am deeply passionate about both the humanities and the sciences.
– My favorite study method during my freshman year at Baylor was teaching, whether to an empty lecture hall or a group of friends. I truly enjoy the process of breaking down complicated concepts to be understandable.
– I strongly believe in the power of tutoring, and I know I would not have maintained a 4.0 GPA without the help of my own tutors and supplemental instructors. Reviewing material multiple times with different people is extremely valuable and can truly make or break your grade in a course.
