I trained teacher how to us computers to install educational programs for their students. After four years I was transfered to Florida. I resigned after a year and returned to Chicago.

My comments on tutoring Speaking : Former video producer/director, helped hundreds of people improve their speaking skills

My entire career has been spent in communications: video, radio, copywriting, PR, marketing... I love to help people learn to use communication effectively, especially when used to market themselves, their businesses, or causes they believe in. Yet, I don't consider myself an "expert" because there is always more to learn!
Easy-going, enthusiastic, like to discuss strategy, have client implement, then discuss results

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from a small liberal arts college. There I had my eyes opened to a whole new world of thinking and learning. I received my Bachelors degree in physical education with a minor in coaching. I have a special teaching certificate from the state of Illinois that allows me to teach K-12. I have 6 years of experience working with children of all age, race, and backgrounds. I have been substituting for the past two years at various school districts at various positions.
My teaching style is to get all the children involved with the lesson. I feel that students learn better when they are the ones doing the problem at hand and I am there to help them out along the way. I am very patient with children and do not mind going over a problem 10 times until they get it. I feel that all children learn differently, so I come into each child with an open mind to help them.

I had spent most of my professional career with the Follett Higher Education Group and sincerely enjoyed working in this academic environment. In my role as Media Manager, I created and implemented media plans for numerous college bookstores across the US and in Canada. As part of an Integrated Marketing team, I worked closely with the directors of various departments, as well as store and regional managers in the field, to develop effective and cost-efficient promotions for the bookstores. To continue developing my leadership skills, I joined Toastmasters International. For the past year I had been the VP of Membership of the Oak Brook Speakers club.

A Little Bit About Me...

I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long Middle School. Most recently, I had the honor of teaching at KIPP: LEAD College Prep Charter School in Gary, Indiana. I previously held Language Arts Certificates (6-12) in both Georgia and Indiana. I also have experience tutoring college freshmen in an introductory college writing seminar.
Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English ... read more

High expectations combined with accountability and compassion are what drives success in language learning. Most students need to get past the barrier of fear of making a mistake or embarrassment at not "getting" a concept. Providing a comfortable environment is key. Dual language tutoring and repeated encouragement allow students immediate feedback and also create a feeling of accomplishment at each session. My ability to identify learning styles specific to each learner lets each student learn in the way that is most successful for them.
With over 20 years of experience teaching Spanish language and literature, ESL and adult literacy, and language arts, I offer a comprehensive approach to language learning/success. I am completely bilingual in both languages.I have taught pre-K to college level and also prepare detailed lessons and curricula to meet students'goals whether it be l ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been a reader and a writer. In my degree work, I learned how to inspire others to read critically and write well. I have many years experience as a college-level instructor. I also work locally with high school students at my church. In addition, I have worked at Writing Centers at several institutions. I also have helped with successful grant writing for several local organizations.
My classrooms involve learning-centered groups in a workshop approach. I find that students are encouraged by the examples of other writers and learners at their own levels. I provide a great deal of individual feedback on assignments. I encourage the imitation of examples in writing and the discovery of other writing styles. I am sensitive to the needs and learning needs of each student.

I have both practical and conceptual understanding of mathematics as I have tutored kids and taught mathematics at a high school level. In addition, I have certifications in biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. I like making connections among different subjects and providing practical examples as the situation warrants. I get a lot of satisfaction when students grasp a new concept. It makes my day!
My tutoring style is eclectic so I can reach each student with an unique insight that will help that student understand a concept or solve a problem. Once I get to know how a student thinks, I work with his/her strengths and try to compensate the student's weaknesses by working at his/her level and then bringing the student to a level where he/she needs to be.

A Little Bit About Me...

During the last eight years I have honed my teaching skills in a number of roles: tutoring math and language arts with America Reads, teaching English to elementary aged second language learners in France, working with learning disabled high schoolers as an English and U.S. government teacher, and training corporate clients in the use of software applications. In addition to these diverse experiences, my academic background in languages and business allows me to move confidently between subjects including Spanish, French, economics, math, English and the ACT & SAT exams.
I am a patient and positive teacher and implement multiple learning strategies to help each student best engage with the material based on his or her strengths. I enjoy working with learners of all ages and strive to make lessons meaningful and engaging to the individual.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent master's graduate in the field of Atmospheric Science. In addition I have a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology with minors in both math and physics. I have had the privilege of working with students in a classroom setting as a substitute teacher the past couple of years. I enjoy helping students succeed by helping them gain confidence in a subject area. I have a passion for mathematics as it is a subject that many students shy away from. I have tutored students in math from Calculus down to Algebra over the course of 6 years.
I have a burden for young people and enjoy the opportunity in helping them succeed. Probably one of the greatest influences in my life was a former tutor who pushed me to be the best that I could possibly be. That is a strategy that I strive for in everyone I have the privilege of tutoring. I demand excellence from my students. I ... read more
