Sculpting is one of my top subjects! Capable of teaching all sculptural disciplines, but most highly specialized in mold-making and casting practices. Especially as related to Polymer, Metal, and Glass casting.

Devon was trained at the Art Institute of Chicago in a variety of fine arts. Sculpture is his primary focus, but he also has experience in painting/drawing, design, film/video, performance, and art-tech. Since receiving his BFA in 2011, Devon has been employed consistently for his sculptural knowledge. Working for Chicago Crucible, 3-Switch Design, and West Supply LLC, amongst several freelance jobs for artists like Salvidor Dominguez, Carolyn Ottmers, and Steve Haulenbeek. Devon has also attended several global art conferences including Art Basel in Basel Switzerland, and participated in several exhibitions such as the 2014 Spring Exhibition at Stairway Studios. Experience in the academic, studio, and production environments gives Devon a uniquely holistic perspective on what it means to be an artist in the world.

More About This Tutor...

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 just graduated from Illinois State University about a year ago, and am recently educated and knowledgeable in all subjects, especially English, Social Studies, and Math. I also have five years of French studies.
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 le ... read more

I'm always interested in education and continue to learn materials that I've already studied and furthermore, gain more knowledge through teaching others or their inputs. People have told me that they are amazed and admired my strength and determination to study medicine as I am hearing impaired. I can speak fluently and work with people despite having an hearing impairment. I hope to be a role model to other students and especially deaf and hearing imapaired individuals. Work hard and you can achieve your dreams.

I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box. Such activities should be hands-on and encourage the students to use their senses. I agree with John Dewey, the famous education philosopher, who believes that it is beneficial when teachers use experiential learning because it engages students and presents them with direct experience and focused reflection, which in turn, increases knowledge, develops skills, and clarifies values. I believe that when teachers provide students with hands-on activities, they have a better chance of becoming actively engaged in each lesson.
I am an energetic and dedicated teacher who strives to encourage students to go beyond their very best by creating a positive and respectful learning environment. I establish high expectations for ... read more

The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to make lessons more fun and more significant. Rather than providing a mundane and meaningless list of facts, I explain the significance of the material by linking specific principles to larger themes. Towards these ends, I adjust my tutoring style to meet each student's academic and personal needs. I listen to my students, encouraging them to ask questions about the material I present. My background in mathematics enables me to provide difficult challenges for even the most able student, but I am also patient and thorough enough to get a struggling student back on track.
While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant programs, still images, powerpoint) to reiterate main points. I like to work closely with students and believe this type of communication is what allows each student to fully understand what's expected in the assignment. I believe providing a comfortable and easy going approach to tutoring so that learning is enjoyable. I am honest, patient, and nice.
I have taught university-level art history courses for the last 7 years. These courses include training in writing, presentation, and speaking in addition to their emphasis on the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my teaching I stress fundamental design principles, technique and color theory. I am also invested in exposing students to art history which I believe enriches,informs and helps to shape a students own individual style. I have instructed adult classes in oil painting that focus on the figure, landscape and portraiture. Currently I implement arts integrated programs for K-8 in the Chicago Public Schools as a contractor.
In my teaching I employ communicative tools to facilitate both individual and group instruction. I am often energized when I work with students and feel responsible to transfer something they will apply in their daily lives. As a painting instructor I rely on good communication, clear direction and enjoy talking with students about what they see in their work how to clafify their objectives.
