Love Kids, Love Writing.

In high school, I was on our school's speech team, I competed at the varsity level all throughout high school. I placed at every competetion, without fail. I placed in advanced English classes in high school, and tested in to the second level of English classes at Western Illinois University my freshman year. I have won state wide writing competetions, and have a poem published in a book of young writers. I went to school for Journalism and Communications, but am currently taking a year off. I have also taken and passed the Illinois basic skills test, and took 2 years of Special Education courses at Western Illinois University.
I believe each student is different; therefore, I change how I approach my teachings based upon the individual.

My style is one of 're-packaging' concepts into easy to handle segments. Outlining is a very useful tool in this process. In addition, I use a 'research yesterday's work' approach, and a 'search the index' approach for leading a student to find the appropriate answer. Patience is the most encouraging principle for creating the environment needed for learning. Many have told me that I have a wonderful way with listening and explaining. My own children have shared this with me as well.
In addition to the administrative experiences listed in my resume, my rapport with the people I serve has always been such that I am seen in their eyes as a 'big brother'. I have developed advanced communication skills and people-skills over the years, and am considered by all who know me as a very friendly person. I have trained mentors in para-professional counseling for many years. I have also ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is learner-centered, constructivist, and practical. I believe that a teacher must get to know her students on a personal level to facilitate the best learning. By ascertaining a student’s current knowledge and beliefs about a particular subject, I am able to help students advance to their fullest potential. If students understand the applicability of a concept or skill, they are much more likely to be engaged in learning it. Thus, I give students as much “real-world” practice as possible, so they can see the value in the subject they are learning. I am most able to tutor students in all aspects of English and language arts, but I can also tutor in the social sciences like history, psychology, sociology, and geography.
My experience includes teaching college English for three years. The courses I taught (Composition I and II) required me to know the mechanics of En ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping children see the beauty in the world we live. That can be through solving a math problem that they struggled with or helping them learn from their mistakes. My goal is to help your child reach their full potential. I believe with the correct learning environment and focused attention a child will be able to overcome all obstacles.
During my study towards at BS in Chemistry I published a paper with a professor doing electrochemical research. I currently work at a small manufacturing company where I purchase raw materials, formulate products, supervise the manufacturing process and check the quality of the end product. Through my studies and work I have learned to apply analytical thinking to real world problems for results. During the past decade I have tutored in mathematics, science, philosophy, photography and literature.

Illinois State University is well known for their education program. Graduating from this university has filled me with pride and confidence in my ability to teach. I have taken many methods classes in which they taught me how to teach lessons in Math, Science, Reading, Social Studies, Special Needs students, and Literacy. Also, I have taken many Spanish classes in college along with general education classes in biology, psychology, and mathematics. Completing these courses gave me the knowledge I needed to get an A in Student Teaching. Upon completing my Student Teaching, I observed many other teachers to gain more ideas and methods in managing a classroom.
I believe that every student should be given more than enough opportunities to succeed in school. Generally speaking, I believe students learn much more efficiently when they have manipulatives to work with. Also, when students ... read more

I always try to consider the challenges that each individual student faces when I devise the way I am going to present materials. In terms of tutoring students in literacy/phonics/phonemic awareness, I am a big proponent of sequential and explicit phonics instruction that builds knowledge and competency step by step. My current work as a curriculum consultant for a phonemic awareness company, Reading Horizons, has been most satisfactory as their methodology, in use for many, many decades, uses sound practices based on this teaching philosophy.
In 1993, I entered my career in language acquisition by volunteering as an ESL teacher in the newly freed former Soviet satellite state, Latvia. When I returned to the US in 1994, I began teaching adults ESL in a community college. In 1998, due to my unique combination of skills, I was offered as position as ESL coordinator for this same inst ... read more
