More About This Tutor...

I have a Master's of Education degree with endorsements in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education, and have been teaching grades K-8 for seven years. Additionally, I have tutored and managed a Title I tutoring for my school district. I pride myself in working with my students, channeling their strengths, and helping them to use their strong suits in order to achieve success academically and socially.
I would describe my teaching style as very thorough. I find that students are able to succeed when the curriculum, especially one with which a student is experiencing difficulty, is taught in a way that reflects their learning style and interests.

Graduated High School with a 4.2 at Naperville Central. I am currently publishing two books. I am a sophmore at North Central College. I selected subjects in which i could easily teach. I do not teach kids who already have an A in the class. I take pride in the students I tutor. Their grade does not reflect their effort, but my teaching ability.
