A Little Bit About Me...

I have been playing chess since I was 10 years old. I went to state as a sophomore in High School. I did not do so well my first year at state. My first year at state I only had one win. The next year I had 4 wins and 3 losses. I finished in the top half at state during my junior year.I have won against several opponents who are hard to beat.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style could not be better described than to quote Ignacio Estrada, “If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” I believe we are all granted certain talents and gifts and sometimes we just need that little bit of guidance to reach deep down and find how we can be our very best. Let me help your child reach his or her full potential. In addition to being a patient and caring tutor, I teach with empathy. I appreciate how children can feel a loss of confidence in themselves, especially when their peers are excelling at a time they are not. In a positive and nurturing environment, I will help your child build confidence in his or her abilities, aligning the path for academic achievement.

Every student is different, therefore every student has different needs. Every student also can learn differently, whether it be by incorporating more or less visual learning strategies, auditory learning strategies, or using more of the "hands on" approach. Learning can be and should be fun! I love teaching a student to success and when they enjoy what they are doing they are much more likely to succeed!
As an active member of my community, in the form of pageantry, volunteering, and leadership, I have always enjoyed instructing others. Currently, I love my job at Midwest Generation as an Instructional Designer of Training. I get to train Engineers and Office Managers on subjects I knew little about, and have grown in responsibility and development. I love kids, since my summer camp instruction job I held all throughout High School as well as an active instructor at my church. I j ... read more

I have a BS in journalism, and a specialization in advertising/integrated marketing communications. I also have minors in English and psychology. As a result of studying both journalism and English, I have an extensive background in writing. I have tutored ESL students to learn to read and write in English.
My teaching style involves demonstrating how to understand a problem or perform a task before I ask the student to do so. By facilitating students in such a way, I believe they have a more one-on-one learning experience, as opposed to a strict lecture setting. With guidance and demonstration, I believe it is easier for students to learn without pressure.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is positive. I also find ways to remember material by relating it to something familiar. I also advise students that studying the material each day as they learn will produce far better results than cramming before a test.
I obtained my associate’s degree at Prairie State College in 1997. I received the honor of Valedictorian by my high educational standards of earning a 4.0 GPA. My main focus was to learn as much as possible in the sciences, such as biology, anatomy, chemistry, and microbiology. During my last full-time semester at Prairie State, I started a full-time curriculum at Worsham College of Mortuary Science. Worsham has a two year schedule condensed into one year. I earned a 96.32% GPA diploma and moved on to receive my Illinois Professional Funeral Director and Embalming License in 1998. While at Prairie State College, I volunteered at gramma ... read more

Having a Biochemistry degree, I am well trained in science classes. I was also required and excelled in math classes up to Calculus 3. Therefore, math and science are my strong points. I was a tutor for math and science in the Multi-Cultural Center at my community college for a year. I was also a Sunday school teacher at my church for kids ranging from the age of 8 to 13.
Education has been a strong theme in my life and I know every kid deserves to have the same opportunity that I have had in my life. Even though I don't have any professional teach training, I compelled to help those that I can, using what I have learned. Everyone has a different learning style, so I believe in being patient and finding a unique way to teach each child according to his style. I am very patient and understanding person, who is willing to do what it takes to make a difference it at least one child’ ... read more

My teaching style is Socratic. I find out where the student's understanding lies, and then I lead them through the process of discovery. This is an interactive process. I do not believe that a student will stay involved if they are not actively engaged. Math is somewhat different. After breaking down the method of problem-solving used in the student's textbook, I would guide them step-by-step through the problem-solving process. It is essential to acknowledge the student's effort through praise and encouragement. It is very important to provide the parents with feedback regarding their child's progress.
I am a recent college graduate. I was award "Top Student" Honors in Genetics for 2007-2008, and "Outstanding Student Honors" for 2008-2009. My overall GPA was 3.8/4.0. I am interested in how others learn, and I took several psychology courses including Educational Psycholo ... read more

I have been teaching for 25 years. I began as a high-school teacher, taught grade school and special education, and then spent 20 years as a university professor of English and philosophy. I started tutoring as a graduate student and have been doing it on and off now for 20 years.
I like working with grade-school students, but I like best a variety of teaching situations. That for me truly represents the challange of teaching. Only a diversity of students can bring learning to itself, reveal the demands of cognition for what they are. As a philosophy PhD this interests me very much.

As a graduate from Illinois State University, I completed 100+ clinical hours of observing, tutoring, and teaching lessons in the classroom. I have worked with students from ages 3-18, giving myself a wide variety of experiences. I student taught in an urban high school setting over a period of four months. In addition to my own classroom work as a college student and teaching literature and composition while student teaching, I am an avid reader and writer. My strengths are literature, composition, and grammar, but I can also help with psychology studies, as I was a psychology minor.
Being a psychology minor, I have learned in depth the importance of teaching to multiple intelligences. I know that some students respond to lecture while others can only respond to more hands-on activities. Incorporating a variety of teaching methods, along with relevant materials is the best way to ... read more

When it comes to starting a new subject, I start with questions to stimulate minds first. I start from the last step, example: How can we do elbow flexion? Then elbow joint constituents and their relation to each other Then the origin and insertion of the "Brachialis" as well as its nerve and blood supply.... I think this works for almost 70% of students. Some have a special aproach that can be discovered in their response to a general question like "What can you see through this window"? Such an answer could tell wheather they focus on the large image or on the details, wheather they get impressed by colors or movements..etc.

More About This Tutor...

As a Golden Apple Scholar of Illinois, my passion for teaching is constantly growing and requires much experience. I have taught summer school classes and taught many lessons at the schools I've observed for my clinical practice. Overall, I have completed 120 hours of clinical experience while teaching part-time at a Learning Center, where I've tutored students in Beginning Reading, Reading, Study Skills, and Mathematics.
Because I have such a strong passion for teaching and children, I love to help others succeed and would do whatever it takes to do so. My teaching involves incorporating many games into lesson plans to grasp my students attention, thus making the lesson fun also. Because students learn differently it is our job to teach based on their learning style, which is what I am best at doing. I love to break down information in ways that relate to my students.
