Greetings,
My name is Evan. I am currently a third year student at the University of Illinois at Chicago studying Biomedical Engineering. I graduated from Whitney M. Young high school, one of the leading high schools in Chicago. I was a part of their Academic Decathlon team, a prestigious academic competition in ten different subjects encompassing Math, Music, Economics, Science, History, Art, Literature, Speech, Interview, and Super Quiz.
My favorite subjects to learn and to teach are Math, Music, and Computers. These three are my absolute passion and I would love to help others with these subjects as well.
I love teaching others; I teach my friends whenever they need help grasping and understanding something, or just a friendly helping hand. I'm very sociable and easy to get along with. As I'm very interested in a wide variety of topics within and outside of the subjects, I find it easy to engage those I'm teaching into the subject. I like explaining the subject at hand in a manner most familiar to the student, even explaining it in terms of other subjects that they are stronger at.
I am quite hands on when I am teaching. I like to give a lot of examples and also have the student try out a lot of examples themselves. I don't like to give up, and I don't give up on any of my students. I find that encouragement, supportive commentary, and praise are all essential and useful in the learning process, as it helps maintain the student's self esteem and also keeps them motivated and interested in the subjects.
I look forward to speaking with you, and I hope that we will work together well for the goal of better knowledge.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

• GED

  I would like to help teach GED to someone in need of it. My mother herself had to go through the entire process of taking the GED courses and finally taking the GED examination, and along the way, I helped tutor her in it. In the end, she was able to pass the GED exam with a 93% and obtain her GED diploma. Having gone through this experience, I believe that I am capable of teaching GED to someone who needs the degree. I am capable of working with people of all ages and am willing to help them with anything regarding the GED exam or classes.

• general computer

  I am quite able with computers, in both hardware and software. I have helped numbers of people with computers, my friends and mostly my parents. Having also worked as a computer consultant for my university, I have a lot of experience helping clients with computer and technical problems that they encounter on campus. I've dealt with people ranging from the technically illiterate to the geniuses of the electronic age.

• piano

  Having played the piano for over 9 years now, I am quite familiar with the basic and intermediate skills of the piano. Having learned the piano for so long, I have performed at several auditions. I have also taken A.P. Music Theory and received college level music course credit for it. Currently, I am engaged in composing music and developing my own skills and repertoire.
