John C - Normal, IL 61761 (34.6 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
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, and help them w/ the difficult words, encouraging them to sound out the word. I also try to engage models, and kinestetics, in the learning process. One picture=1,000 words, and one model = 1,000 pictures. I also use these techniques in teaching mathematics. 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 mathematica

Michael B - Mattoon, IL 61938 (34.8 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Hello and thanks for stopping by today. My name is Michael and I am here to help you succeed. I am currently in law school working my way through.
Before moving to Illinois, I lived on the east coast in upstate New York, where I completed a bachelors' degree in Political Science and Masters degree in International Studies. Just last year, I completed a second Masters degree in Management.
While I am completing law school, I am also a licensed substitute teacher in all grade levels for several school districts throughout Eastern Illinois.
Education is truly a passion of mine. Let me help you achieve your goals. I am a firm believer in the concept of engagement learning. While teaching, I maintain a very lively and interactive classroom. To me, teaching and learning is not about merely lecturing names and dates to students. Teaching and learning is a linear process where the stude

Anita R - Mattoon, IL 61938 (35.4 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $40.50/hr.
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. 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 was a teacher's aide for three years for children K-3. I also have a communications degree and worked professionally as a journalist. I am comfortable teaching all types of English to all grades. I have the ability to teach children at their level. I like to make it fun and make the child is learning something and has a good experience while learning what they need.
