I incorporate various strategies based on the student's needs such as kinesthetic, visual, auditory, and a combination if needed. I observe and I assess student's strengths and weaknesses. Based on the information and results, I determine the correct strategy to use to help a student.

Patricia Z. - Tinley Park, IL 60477 (44.2 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am an experienced special education teacher with twenty-one years of teaching experience. I have many years of experience tutoring students on a After-School Reading Program and Homework Tutoring Program in grades K-4. I am caring, patient, and understanding when working with students in need of extra-support or who have special needs, so students succeed at learning. I know many alternative teaching strategies to address each student's learning-style, so students succeed at learning and develop a positive self-esteem. I make learning exciting, motivating, align my lessons to the state standards, and offer challenging learning opportunities to students, so students are prepared for the ISAT Test and the next grade-level.

Amanda S - Dwight, IL 60420 (16 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $34.50/hr.
While I like students to know that I am an expert in my subject field, I also want them to take the opportunity to learn critical thinking skills. I want them to gather information, ask questions and break things down to a level that makes sense for them. With that being said, I believe I have a teaching style that resembles that of a facilitator.
The overall challenge is to help students reach their capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. The students I've mentored and tutored have worked with me in a more consultative approach where they can see me as someone to provide support and encouragement -- not always answers. I achieved my M.Ed. from American Intercontinental University where I held a 4.0 GPA. The classroom and hands-on experience gave me the knowledge and experience needed to face the demands of educators today.
During the last four years,

Melissa L - Paxton, IL 60957 (28 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I love working with children, especially in a one-on-one style to really help them grasp and understand a concept. I know all children are capable of learning and some just need a little extra help. By working with your child one-on-one I will be able to really understand what it is your child is not understanding and figure out a way to help them understand it. I will try my very best to come up with fun and exciting lessons that will make your child want to learn. I believe learning can be fun and try my best to be creative with my lessons so children do enjoy themselves while learning. I have a degree in elementary education with endorsements in reading and history. I also greatly enjoy teaching writing. I taught Pre-K for two years with a focus on reading, writing, and math. I was a nanny for a year for five and seven year old. I would assist with homework and practice reading

Katherine H - New Lenox, IL 60451 (38.3 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $56.00/hr.
Based on my past teaching experiences, I have learned that in order to motivate students to learn, it’s imperative to make connections between the curriculum and their prior experiences and interests. I believe that it is unrealistic to expect students to learn at the same rate and have identical learning styles, so teachers must differentiate their instruction to account for all types of learning abilities, levels, interests, and talents. For instance, teachers should be able and willing to plan lessons and/or assessments that allow students to utilize their own individual and unique intelligences, such as perhaps music or art. I graduated from Illinois State University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, and a friend recommended me for an assistant job within a special education cooperative. I accepted the position and continued doing this for five years. The time I s

Laura V - Plainfield, IL 60586 (39 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $46.50/hr.
My teaching style could not be better described than to quote Ignacio Estrada, “If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” I believe we are all granted certain talents and gifts and sometimes we just need that little bit of guidance to reach deep down and find how we can be our very best. Let me help your child reach his or her full potential. In addition to being a patient and caring tutor, I teach with empathy. I appreciate how children can feel a loss of confidence in themselves, especially when their peers are excelling at a time they are not. In a positive and nurturing environment, I will help your child build confidence in his or her abilities, aligning the path for academic achievement. My B.A. is in History and Social Behavioral Science. This encompasses Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Economics and Political Science. After graduat

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have endorsements in Science, Language Arts, and Social Science. I student taught 1st grade and spent the 2008-2009 school year as a Teaching Assistant for two Kindergarten classrooms. During my time as a student teacher and teaching assistant I have worked with students individually, small groups, and as a whole group. I have a lot of experience with teaching reading using phonemic awareness and whole language instruction. I have developed lessons and strategies to meet each student's abilities and to provide them with the skills and confidence needed to become successful readers. Students have different learning styles and I have a lot of resources to meet the needs of any student. I believe in using the environment and the interests of the child to teach any subject. It is important to capture the interest of the child

John C - Normal, IL 61761 (44.3 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $37.00/hr.
In college, I was a peer tutor in Math, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. I have sub-taught for CUSD 5, and CUSD 87, for 3 years. I have a Illinois Type 09 Certification, which is currently valid in McLean County. I have good grammar skills, and very good mathematical skills. I completed 2 semesters of Organic chemistry, 3 quarters of College Algebra, and 2 quarters of College Calculus (single variable only) I have had a lot of experience working with autistic students, behavior disorder students, and LD students, also. My teaching style is one which engages the student actively in the learning process. I have used the "popcorn" technique in a classroom, where I call out "popcorn", then call on someone at random. This ensures that each student in the class is following, or else they lose their turn to read.
If I'm working w/ a student w/ poor reading skills, I allow them to read, a

Brittany H - homewood, IL 60430 (45.9 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I have earned a BA in Communications Sciences and Disorders and I have tutored children in the Chicago Public School district for several years. I will be attending graduate school to receive a Master's degree in communication disorders. As an undergrad I have worked with children with learning disabilies, languge impairments, and neurological disorders. I am patient and dedicated to working with children in all capacities. Teaching is a very rewarding occupation. I believe that in order to learn one must be stimulated in many different ways. We all learn through visual, tactile, and auditory methods and many require combination strategies. My experience with working with all kinds of exceptional children has allowed me to see the potential in every child. I am dedicated to helping children and contributing to their greatness.

Monique H - Griffith, IN 46319 (53.6 mi) - Elementary Phonics Tutor - $44.50/hr.
As a teacher, one of the most important things I can do is create a community of learners, which helps me determine how to assess my students. Creating a community of learners allows me to open up the door of connection between my students and myself.I have earned a degree in Journalism and finishing up with my degree and certification in English and Secondary Education. During the last eight years, I have been tutoring inner city students in English, writing,math, and reading. One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing each one of my students grow as an individual and academically.I have always wanted to be a teacher since I can remember. I wanted to give back to my students what was given to me. "A chance to to learn and grow". For me, it seemed only natural to obtain a career in the area of my first love "TEACHING". I teach because it's who I am and what I do. When I see my stude
