Kennette
English Composition and Grammar
"We are working for understanding and not knowledge." This is one of Professor Kennette C's favorite quotes; it was spoken by her former professor from Mundelein College. Professor C keeps this at the heart of her instruction to students. She received her B.A. in English Literature from Mundelein College where she graduated Cum Laude. She later received her master's in English literature from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. With that being said, she still has to work on spelling... Read more

Alexsia
PhD in Microbiology for Microbiology and Genetics Tutoring
My desire to teach arose during my undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Like many students I had both good and bad professors during my time at school but what intrigued me was what made a good professor so engaging and likewise what made the bad professors so unbearable. All too often science is presented as a blur of long words, and complicated equations. While these are certainly elements of scientific research, such a heavy emphasis on this during the early yea...

Over the past few years I have developed a love of Chicago history and culture and have worked as a... Read more
