My comments on tutoring Spanish : I have studied Spanish for 6 years now. I am confident in my speaking, listening and writing skills. My reading skills are a little weaker than the rest of my skills. I spent a couple weeks in Spain and Mexico, not studying but certainly using my language skills.

I am originally from Bloomington, Illinois and am studying French and Spanish Education at Illinois State University. I am in my fifth year right now since I have two teaching majors. I will graduate in May 2014. Since my Junior year of high school, I knew that I wanted to teach French. In 2012, I lived in Angers, France and studied at an international university named Universite Catholique de l'Ouest. I lived with a host family and absolutely loved the entire thing. I think studying abroad is one of the greatest things a person can do. I feel more comfortable teaching and tutoring French since I have studied it longer but I feel confident in my Spanish skills as well.
I will be certified to teach K-12. I believe that the earlier one starts learning a language, the easier it will be for them and the quicker they will learn. While I have recently tutored older students, I h ... read more

Read More About Benjamin D...

I propone an exploratory, learn-by-doing philosophy regarding education; I believe that students are best served producing their own inquiries (guided by an educator), and then seeking resolution through gathering information. Nevertheless, all students learn differently and I pride my ability to adapt to certain situations and provide the healthiest learning environment for my students that I can.
I've been informally teaching for around 7 years, starting with private percussion lessons and high school drumline instruction and most recently tutoring through the Migrant Education Program in the subject areas of English as a Second Language, math, science, and Spanish. I am a current Geography Teacher Education student at Illinois State University minoring in Spanish. I will receive my license after completing my student teaching requirement in the spring of 2015.

La vida solo vale la pena cuando haces algo que te apasiona.

Passionate. Sharing my love of Spanish is a true passion of mine. I believe that we learn best when we are relaxed and able to have some fun with the knowledge being acquired.
I began learning Spanish my freshman year of high school and immediately knew that I wanted to teach it as a career. Since then, I have studied abroad twice. My first time was in Merida, Mexico during the Summer of 2010. I spent my Fall 2011 semester in Granada, Spain. I have high fluency (with an OPI score of Intermediate High)as well as cultural experiences in Spanish speaking countries.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an MBA graduate I have a high level understanding of core business practices and principles. I have a finance and marketing concentrated MBA which allowed me to develop my writing and mathematical skills equally. In 2005 I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Communication and minors in psychology and marketing. I also have 3 years experience with small businesses. My teaching experience includes working part time as a substitute teacher for District 87 in Bloomington, IL. I work with Microsoft Office, data analysis, and creative writing projects on a daily basis. I have a well rounded background and feel comfortable teaching a number of subjects in the business, psychology, communication, and language/writing fields.
My teaching style is very hands on. I enjoy working with students and sharing a balanced approach to learning. I believe people learn through various styles ... read more
