Spanish Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lovejoy, IL

I am flexible. I prefer language immersion. speaking 99% of the target language results in much higher language learning. I use internet clips and podcasts every once in a while to introduce multiple speakers. plus its fun. I have taught ESL professionally in Mendoza Argentina for the Universdad Nacional de Cuyo, and in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a provate compnay (C&C Language Solutions). I am no stranger to a standard text book curriculum or large groups. That was very similar to my experience teaching at the University in Mendoza. Although i really enjoyed teaching for the private company because i had the chance to meet with the clients/students beforehand, discuss with them (in their mother tongue or in the target language) what they wanted to get out of the program. We would design a curriculum from square one and include their own special interests to make learning more fun. I l

I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've worked with kids throughout my entire life, whether I was teaching swim lessons, piano lessons, or tutoring. I took Spanish for 4 years in High School use it every chance I get. If I had the time I would take on degree after degree! Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe l

As a senior civil engineering student at Washington University, I have received an outstanding education, especially in math and science. I will graduate in May with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. In the fall, I will pursue a master's degree in civil engineering. Even though my fortes are in math and science, I believe that I have more than sufficient written and communication skills that would be valuable in tutoring. In high school, I tutored advanced algebra for a year, and I also taught Spanish to elementary school students. I also have tutoring experience working with high school age African immigrants. I tutored them in English and math. I also helped them prepare for the GED if they were not enrolled in high school classes. Not everyone learns in the same way. I try to discern how the student I am tutoring learns best, whether it's by just doing examples, or visually by phys

While I was attending college I served as a Certified Trainer at Outback Steakhouse for several years. I taught our classroom for trainees, and I also developed and trained key employees. In addition, I volunteered at the International Institute and have helped newly arrived immigrants American customs and basic English syntax and grammar. Soon thereafter I earned two BA degrees, one in French and the other in Political Science. Currently, I aid in the rehabilitation of socially disadvantaged children by maintaining a therapeutic environment, and teaching everyday social skills. I sincerely have a passion for helping others. I enjoy learning and growing together. Also, I believe that one has the potential to learn from anyone, young or old; it is merely an open mind that is vital. Also, I feel that sharing ideas and concepts in an open forum is conducive to healthy learning. In a

Patient but result driven. I try to adapt by teaching style to the needs and personality of the student. Some children are more responsive to games and visuals while others are able to read and digest the information with just a little assistance. I spend the first session getting to know the child and discussing their likes and dislikes about school. I also review the area(s) that they are experiencing difficult and solicit a response from them about why they feel they are having problems in those areas. I take the feedback from the session and devise a teaching strategy that best suits the child's learning style and personality. I have over 10 years of Elementary Education Experience, working as a long-term Substitute Teacher,a Parent Educator, Community Recruiter, Grant Writer, and Tutor. I love helping children explore and develop their potential through learning. My speciality

During my junior and senior year in college, I TA’ed a finance class called options pricing for two semesters. Options pricing was a difficult subject. I worked very hard to receive an A- for the course, which turned out to be my favor. I had insight to the intellectual hurdles other students had to overcome to master the material. So, teaching them came very naturally. In addition, I abandoned the lecture format for a very interactive teaching format. This allowed the students to ask many questions and allowed me to gage the level of comprehension from in the students real-time. Tutored inner-city and disadvantaged students in elementary English and math for 1 year. TA’ed undergraduate finance class, options pricing, for 1 year.

I love language and literature and studied hard at the university. I earned a Bachelor degree in English Literature and Spanish, a double major, and went on to complete a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Fiction). As an undergraduate I worked at the university’s writing center, tutoring other students with various writing projects. I also tutored adult GED students in English. I taught Freshman Composition One and Two; Introduction to Fiction Writing; and co-taught an American Studies class. As a teacher, I try to instill in the students a sense of ownership of the class, encouraging them to take charge of their own education, and not limit themselves to studying only the material presented in class. I try to teach by leading the students toward a goal by asking open-ended questions of them, rather than giving prescriptive instructions or dictating units of knowledge set in sto

While completing my two bachelors’ degrees, I worked as a Spanish tutor for the foreign language department.

In my current job I have earned experience translating real time information as well as transcribing documents used in court. I love teaching all Spanish levels, from kindergarten kids to college students. I am patient, easy going, responsible, and detail oriented. My goal as a tutor is to help students achieve their learning goals in school, professional and personal life.
