I have tutored individuals in grades 1-12 in various subject areas. I have been encouraged to pursue English, Writing, and Journalism as professions because of my talent in each area. I have tested at least 4 grade levels above my grade level since I began taking standardized tests. I have the ability to disect subjects in a way that makes learning fun and understandable. I like to get to know each individual and find out how they learn. From there I can figure out what will work for them and what won't.

Anita R - Mattoon, IL 61938 (7.1 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I obtained Secondary Teacher Certification in Social Sciences. I taught high school and middle school Spanish for two and half years at public schools, and completed my student teaching at an alternative school for juvenile criminals. I was an at home teacher for my school district when children were out for extended periods due to illness. I have completed additional continuing education in working with gifted and special needs children. I enjoy sharing my passion for learning with others and love to see the “light” come on when a student finally understands a concept. I believe making the information relevant to the student is important. I like to use humor and real-life examples to keep students engaged. I believe that it is important to know how the child learns to be able to present the material to them in the best manner for them which is what I would base my style on.

Randy P - Stewardson, IL 62463 (23.4 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $38.00/hr.
My greatest joy as a tutor and professor is to witness the "Ah-ha" moment when the light bulb comes on and the student puts the pieces together and comes to understand the topic, and, perhaps more importantly, understands the significance or ramifications of the topic in relation to other topics or disciplines. As the “Ah-ha” moments add up a student’s confidence grows. Ultimately, this confidence in learning is what I am trying to achieve. I want the student to learn and believe that there is nothing he/she can’t achieve with effort and perseverance. I believe that anyone can learn anything. I have a very friendly and gregarious approach with students. It’s my goal to help students achieve success and reach their maximum potential. As a student at Eastern Illinois University (EIU) I majored in Accounting and minored in Chemistry and Pre-medicine. This path provided me with a well roun

Katharine C - Champaign, IL 61820 (30 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I believe that instilling a passion for math and science can only come from witnessing it. My tutoring style encompasses core knowledge, study skills, and real-world experience within the field of science. Your child's tutoring session will focus on how to find information needed in order to answer key questions along with providing insight into why science and math are imperative in today's world. When considering a tutor for your child, both academic excellence and teaching experience are critical factors. With double degrees in biology and chemistry, I am well-equipped with the knowledge to sculpt your child's science and math skills. My dedication can be seen through the various academic awards I received, such as graduating summa cum laude and being honored as the top organic chemist of my year.

Valeire H - Urbana, IN 61801 (30.3 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $31.50/hr.
I believe education is the key to success for young student. As a teacher I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I ‘m to provide stimulating learning environment that encourage students trust their opinions while fostering confidence in order for student to realize their full potential.
Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating instead of dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information only but they will become more confident in their abilities. As an Eastern Il.graduate, in Education, I was extremely
excited to achieve a high quality education. I have earned two BA degrees Education and Human Relations, which has enable me to receive, teacher certif

Margaret J - Urbana, IL 61801 (30.6 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $36.00/hr.
With my dual B.A. in History and English, I am capable of teaching a wide range of subjects in the liberal arts.

To me, learning is best exemplified by an engaged and interested student asking informed and critical questions of the material assigned. I believe that stud

Jessica B - Champaign, IL 61820 (31.2 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I am a very laid-back, out going person but I never stray from the main goal at hand. I strive to help educate children the best way possible, and would like to make a difference in their life. My education growing up was very positive, and going to a smaller school enabled me to have one on one contact with my educators. I hope to allow the child to feel comfortable with me as a tutor and build a relationship that makes them feel like they are an individual, not a number. As a recreation major, I have held a number of jobs working with children of all ages. My first job as a lifeguard and swim instructor helped me understand how to work with children ages three to fifteen and really get a feel for how their brains operate and the proper learning styles to use for each age. Moving on to my job as a camp counselor and staff member at 4-H Memorial Camp in Monticello I really started to fam

Yanhuan R - Urbana, IL 61801 (31.5 mi) - Homework Help Tutor - $55.00/hr.
My pre-medical school coursework allowed me to gain conceptual and hands-on understanding in the areas of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biology. In addition to my scientific training, I enrolled in the Honors program with a concentration on Western Civilization. The curriculum that the Honors program offered took me through the writings of Homer to the films of Roman Polanski. I have gained extensive experience writing research papers, laboratory reports, book reviews, memoirs, fictional stories, and analytical critiques. During the last three years I have volunteered my time tutoring international students English. My class sizes ranged from 20 students to one-on-one sessions. I love teaching and working with children and adults alike. Everyone can learn; it is up to the teachers to find out how their students learn best. I was 14 years old when my younger
