About Lokesh


Bio

As a tutor, I seek to help you develop intellectually. I understand that each of you has a different personality in terms of learning and different academic and career goals. No matter where you might be in your journey, I aspire to help you develop specific universal skills—asking the right questions, staying persistent, and communicating effectively. I will proactively engage and regularly give you feedback. But at the same time, I will allow you as much independence as possible to express...

As a tutor, I seek to help you develop intellectually. I understand that each of you has a different personality in terms of learning and different academic and career goals. No matter where you might be in your journey, I aspire to help you develop specific universal skills—asking the right questions, staying persistent, and communicating effectively. I will proactively engage and regularly give you feedback. But at the same time, I will allow you as much independence as possible to express your creativity. Getting better at anything requires multiple iterations of failure and growth. I hope to engage in this process as you work on your assignments. I am willing to help you set deadlines for assignments and stick by them. This is a critical skill for you to learn as you progress in school/college.

I have a bachelor of science degree with honors in biology and chemistry from Lake Forest College. I have a Ph.D. degree in molecular neuroscience from Northwestern University. In terms of teaching and tutoring, I have done both for over 15 years. My earliest experience of tutoring was in 2005 while I was an undergraduate at Lake Forest College. I tutored General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry students. In terms of biology, I have tutored students in Neuroscience, Cell and Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Plant Biology, Genetics, Developmental Biology and Kinesiology, and Bioengineering.
Moreover, I can help you prepare for the ACT/SAT/GRE math or science subject exams. I scored in the 90th percentile in those exams.

Please get in touch with me to learn how I can help you in your learning journey and become smarter every day.

Dedicated and Innovative Tutor

Lokesh helped completely transform my research question to something that pertained more to my interests and was more feasible with my limited resources after I discussed my current situation and topic. He helped me gather papers so I could delve deep into this new area.

Paper discussion

Dr. Lokesh is a wonderful person and an incredible professor! He is knowledgeable, walks through the content in a very logical, easy to follow, and in a comprehensive manner. He listens intently to your requirements and tailors the material to suit one's needs. For me, comprehending research papers is quite a challenge! However, I could easily follow up on a difficult paper, even without preparing much for it! He makes it that easy! Knowing that I can have his guidance takes an immense stress off my shoulders. Thank you very much.

Knowledgeable, patient and prepared

My son worked with several excellent tutors, but chose Lokesh, for his ability to clearly teach and explain complex concepts in AP Chemistry. He is also knowledgeable, patient and prepared.
