Chad B.

Chad Berkich recently graduated from the University of Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. For three years during his time there, Chad was a Junior Tutor in the math department, where he met with a small group of students twice-weekly to work on introductory calculus problems. While Chad has had a passion for math since a young age, this job is where he found his passion for teaching it. He firmly believes in the beauty and importance of math and wants to impart his passion to his students. He also knows that many students struggle with math and related subjects, which is why his tutoring style centers on breaking down the problem into individual steps that foster student understanding and general problem-solving skills.

In addition to his work as a Junior Tutor, Chad also has experience tutoring the SAT Math and ACT Math and Science sections. In his spare-time, he loves reading comic books and playing video games. He is also currently writing an original fantasy novel.
