About Tague

Bio

I love to communicate with people, especially when I am helping them towards epiphany moments. I'm smart (I got 95th percentile on the MCAT), so I've often been a guy who other classmates come to for help. Engaged students are fun to teach and interact with, but I also feel I can keep the less interested students' attention for long enough to help them learn.

I taught high school and middle school science at a private school in Chicago. This school only had one on one teaching, so I have...

I love to communicate with people, especially when I am helping them towards epiphany moments. I'm smart (I got 95th percentile on the MCAT), so I've often been a guy who other classmates come to for help. Engaged students are fun to teach and interact with, but I also feel I can keep the less interested students' attention for long enough to help them learn.

I taught high school and middle school science at a private school in Chicago. This school only had one on one teaching, so I have lots of experience working one on one with kids to figure out how they learn best. Some kids need to make it kinesthetic, while other really need to slow things down. Its hard to imagine not being able to do addition in your head, but its that kind of intellectual empathy that makes me think I can help students.

I was a biochem major at Grinnell College (ranked 11th best national liberal arts college). On the MCAT, I was in the 99th percentile for chemistry/physics and 97th for bio/biochem

I took AP spanish in high-school, some spanish in college, and recently had 3 interiews in spanish that went well.

I took several theatre classes at my college, produced/wrote/acted in several of my own one man shows, and have taken improv classes.

Hit me up! I'm confident I can help you.

Knowledgeable and patient

Tague responded promptly to our last minute request for AP chem tutoring. He helped my daughter to prepare for her quizz the next day. We will work with him again.

Great start!

It’s always a pleasant surprise when the first tutoring session meets your expectations. We look forward to continuing to tackle this tricky subject.

Really connects the dots

Tague really did a great job helping me connect the missing pieces in my chemistry tutoring session. One on one walking through my problem was hugely helpful. Would recommend to anyone!

Great teacher/patient tutor!

First session for my daughter in Neuroscience was amazing. He's a great motivator and she really connected with his method of teaching/coaching/studying. SHe will continue to work with him until end of year as he helps her navigate her final exam in Honors Neuroscience.

Very good tutor

Tague is very patient and he puts a lot of effort to make sure you understand the lesson. Some Tito’s help you do your assignment or help you prepare for a test. Tague makes sure you understand the principles very well
