Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A special needs student may need hands on lessons or visual learning activities. Someone else may be an audio learner. I analyze the situation, differentiate between teaching strategies and implement the most effective one. My success goes beyond the actual lessons or my experience. It's is due to the fact that I truly love teaching, thrive on the positive interactions and maintain high expectations for myself and the student. I am very flexible, patient and knowledgeable. I strive to meet the needs of the students in order for them to be successful and confident.
I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The ... read more

I am patient, and I make the students think. I have tutored students from 10 to 80 years of age. I also try to boost the confidence of students if they are down. Most Importantly, I make sure that the students have the fundamental concepts jotted down in their armory to crack any exam/problem. I also make sure that the students maintain the same proficiency in the subject for years to come.

I believe that each student is unique. Therefore, a variety of teaching methods within a supportive learning environment are required to address each student's uniqueness. I have found that students relate to analogies, practical examples, discovery, computer simulations, and real life applications as opposed to straight memorization of content. Above all, the optimal blend of patience and guidance are required to motivate each student to achieve success. I have worked in a variety of educational roles and have experienced that, as an educator, there is no greater feeling than to see a student's eyes light up after a concept is grasped. For me, this is the ultimate achievement of student success!
My experiences in schools, hospitals and business provide me with the diversity to instruct students in subjects, such as math, general science, biology, business concepts and English ... read more

I am a compassionate person who will do whatever it takes to help students succeed. I always encourage my students to ask as many questions as they need to so that they have a firm understanding of the material. I love seeing the growth in the individual student. Students who have had me as a teacher report that they thought they were incapable of doing math but after taking my course their confidence has exceeded their expectations.
I am a certified 6 - 12 Secondary Mathematics teacher. I have been teaching for 10 years with my last four being at the college level. I have been awarded the Who's Who a number of times. I just received my master's degree in mathematics from Marquette this spring.

Words cannot express my love and passion for teaching, I would say it is a profession that requires a great deal of patience and understanding but the payoff from its efforts is definitely worth it to me. Being student oriented, nurturing and supporting the growth of my students is fulfilling to me. I thrive on being a part of the development of their personal and social awareness. My compassion for others makes it a joy for me to work with students. My teaching is at its best when I am creating a rapport with students. I feel good when magic springs from the learning experiences and growth of my students.

My passion is developing the full potential of my students by providing them with the skills that foster the ability to solve problems and think for themselves. While any discipline requires rigorous training and a mastery of its facts, quality instruction also awakens the ability to see connections, think critically, and apply one's learning to evaluate contemporary problems or historical events. Accomplished teachers utilize as many teaching styles and methods as there are kinds of students and levels of proficiency. I construct my classes on the basis of guided discovery. The challenge is to make history come alive by arousing the imagination and effectively placing students in other worlds.

In the mid-to-late 1980s I led workshops and served as a chaperone for U.S. and international foreign exchange program students aged 16-19 under the auspices of American Field Services (AFS). Then in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, I taught the basic speech course (public speaking) at several urban/suburban college and university settings (DePaul University, Loyola University, College of DuPage, Harper College), in addition to storytelling classes at two non-traditional adult learning centers in Chicago. Currently, I am applying for substitute teaching at Winnetka and Evanston high schools, as well as for standardized test and reading/writing skills tutoring jobs before I become a State of Illinois certified English Language Arts teacher (middle/high school level) in June 2010.
In my view, education is an ongoing process. I believe successful learning is mutual between teacher and ... read more
