Elementary Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chicago, IL

I have had experience tutoring at a number of levels. In high school, I volunteered as a math and Spanish tutor for other high school students. I also interned in a first grade classroom for a semester. While in this position, I worked with students one-on-one and in groups to help them to learn material better. I like to match the learning style of those I am teaching. Usually, I try to make learning interactive, if possible.

Now we have expanded to a center in Oak Park and we tutor all ages, from Pre-K to adults. Our subjects range from phonics to algebra.

Our tutoring center works with all types of children and we are proud of the work we put forth.

I have been an English and Writing tutor since my freshman year of high school. During my last year of undergraduate work at The Ohio State University I was an Academic Mentor for the “Miracle-Gro” Capital Scholars program and helped 35 high school seniors successfully apply and establish admittance into college. I helped construct and edit admissions essays while providing constructive and personal mentoring to each student. I am passionate about writing and continue to pursue it as a hobby and also in my graduate studies at DePaul University. I appreciate and welcome the opportunity to work with young people to help fine tune skills and talents each individual will use in his or her personal and professional endeavors. I currently am employed as a Graduate Assistant in DePaul University’s College of Education where I edit work on a daily basis. I edit for clarity and a concise meani

After graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with degrees in Sociology and African American Studies, I joined Teach for America (TFA). Through TFA, I taught in a middle school emotional disability/behavior disorder (ED/BD) program where I instructed students in the subjects of Math, English, Science, Writing, and Social Studies. I earned my Master's degree in Special Education in 2010 and started teaching in a high school ED/BD program as a General Science instructor. Upon returning home to Illinois, I worked in an alternative school that serviced middle and high school students from the Dubuque, Iowa Community School District. I currently work as a high school ED/BD teacher in Naperville. I instruct in the subject areas of English, Math, and Science. After school, I coach Special Olympics basketball and Special Olympics bowling.

I have been tutoring elementary students for over 10 years now in all subjects areas and have had great success helping them excel in school. Aside from tutoring elementary students, I have had experience in the classroom teaching grades ranging from K-6. Currently, I am working toward my Doctorate (Ed.D) in Education and would like to become a school or district leader in the near future. I truly enjoy working with students and helping them find a passion for learning and doing well in school. In addition to my education and experience, I am a professional member of both the International Reading Association (IRA) and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) and am always up-to-date on the best methods of teaching children. Primarily I work with elementary and early childhood (preschool/prekindergarten) students, but I have also worked with older kids in mi

I believe each person is unique, and each has his or her own way of being taught in the most effective manner possible. I like to get to know the person I am tutoring, and then figuring out what type of learner they are, and then applying certain strategies that best compliment their particular way of being taught. For as long as I can recall, writing has always been my strong suit, and has been what I consider my natural ability. During Junior High and High School, I was recognized by several teachers who encouraged me to pursue a career in writing. As a political science major in college, I wrote numerous scholarly research papers for various courses. I have always excelled in those subjects related to English/writing. Also at college, I became a James Scholar as a result of my grade point average, which entailed choosing a course every semester and writing an additional research paper

My teaching style consists of finding that unique style that will suit each individual student. Growing up, I noticed that it was very hard for certain students to grasp certain concepts because they were not engaged in the teaching method. It is no secret that everyone learns a certain way, and no two ways are ever the same. I believe that my patience, my calm demeanor, and habit of wanting to make learning something fun rather than a job has certainly helped me in my education. I also am a big proponent of having children set goals for themselves. Setting goals makes you work harder without feeling the pressure, and I've learned that once children reach that goal they will just want to go higher. As a graduate of Indiana University and a current law student at the Ave Maria School of Law, I was and still very much am driven by a desire to learn and share that knowledge with those aroun

It is my belief that all children can reach their potential, if guided in the correct way. It has been my experience that children learn in varying ways, thus I like to include a wide range of methods and materials in my teaching. When a child is given the tools needed to tap into his or her most successful learning style, academic growth is in the hands of the learner, making understanding that much more satisfying and beneficial. I have the patience, skills and desire to help your child succeed! My love of helping children learn led me to a successful 25 year career as an elementary teacher. The challenge of making learning exciting for each and every child was one I thoroughly enjoyed. I was able to guide the academic growth of those students who were gifted as well as those who were academically challenged. Especially gratifying was the growth and development I saw in those chi

As an English teacher in Incheon, South Korea, I prepared lesson plans on a daily basis and led in the classroom to foster a creative, fun, and educational environment. I chose to go to South Korea to explore a new culture, travel, and learn a new language after finishing my BA in Political Science (International Affairs) and Global Studies, with a dual concentration in Russian Languages and Literature and Southeast Asia Area Study. I have extensively edited English as a second language essays at the TEFL level as well as worked as a native speaker for ESL dialogue tapes. I have a lot of fun working with children of all ages. My goal is to increase your child's confidence in his or her writing abilities, as writing well is the key to academic and career success. Learning to write should be relaxing and fun, not a chore, and I am certain my love of writing will help your child learn t

My most recent experience in teaching would be the year I spent in Seoul, South Korea. I began as a teacher and was soon the head teacher of the Kindergarten programs. Our kindergarten programs were a full day and full immersion for the students. I taught the middle school afternoon programs from ages 6-14 and at every level as well as in every subject. My most advanced students were fluent and therefore studied intensive subjects such as science, political history, geography and several others. We most intensely worked on writing and reading. My college experiences were spent observing as a student teacher, tutoring hispanic immigrants, and eventually teaching a semester of high school spanish classes. As an education minor (Secondary Education) I have been trained in teaching all fields of education. As a nanny for a large family in London, England following graduation, I spe
