Elementary Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ottawa, IL

From my experience, I have realized that students learn faster and retain the information they learned longer if a tactile, hands-on approach is used. Currently, I teach K-5 students, and no matter what I'm teaching, I try to turn it into an educational game where the students are up and moving and having fun while learning. Each one exceeded my expectations and learned far more than anyone could have imagined. I truly believe in finding the style of learning that suits each student, and pursuing that particular route. And I have found that you can include each learning style by using a tactile approach. It is extremely simple to add in visual and auditory components within hands-on activities. I love finding new ideas and fun ways to teach each subject! My classroom experience with Special Education started while in college at Illinois State University, where I gained very valuabl

My teaching style is very flexible and am willing to take my time to see what style works for each student. Hi! My name is Naomi and I'm a pre-med student at Loyola University Chicago. Although I don't have much teaching experience, most of the courses I am available to tutor I have just recently taken (and have done fairly well in)! As someone who has just taken such courses I know which topics are especially difficult and will need more attention. I also have a little sister who I'm always helping and teaching!
