My recent training through the nationally ranked Illinois State University English Education Program required me to work with a wide range of learners (from advanced placement students to those with learning disabilities). Therefore, my ability to differentiate instruction has certainly been polished. Prior to this training, I completed a teaching internship in which I assisted, tutored, and created lessons for young learners. Most recently I have gone through a literacy tutor training program, which provided me with extensive knowledge on how to better help students succeed in reading, writing, and math. Such preparation has allowed me to become even more enthusiastic about passing on to others my passion for academic success.
I would describe my teaching style as innovative, flexible, and passionate. After observing and working with countless students, I have realized that every ... read more

My teaching style involves demonstrating how to understand a problem or perform a task before I ask the student to do so. By facilitating students in such a way, I believe they have a more one-on-one learning experience, as opposed to a strict lecture setting. With guidance and demonstration, I believe it is easier for students to learn without pressure.
I have a BS in journalism, and a specialization in advertising/integrated marketing communications. I also have minors in English and psychology. As a result of studying both journalism and English, I have an extensive background in writing. I have tutored ESL students to learn to read and write in English.

Generally, I'm a constructivist, and I believe the best method of tutoring is providing a completely individuated scaffold for any student. While I was raised in old-school education, I believe that some of the newer techniques of education through hands-on, the use of digital technology, and through writing across the curriculum are effective for many students.
I have two bachelor degrees, one in computer science, the other in mathematics with a type 09 cert (6-12). I belong to Mensa and the NCTM, and have excellent English and decent Spanish speaking and writing skills. I have taught and tutored in mathematics and computer science for quite awhile, and I earned a 95% on my PSAT and a 32 on my ACT.

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 students getting excited about learning;I feel that same excitement as though it was me as a young child again. It's my chance to do something meaningful and fulfilling with my life. It reminds me that I have imparted knowledge into the lives of each one of my students. This is what God has intended for me to do. “TEACH”
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 c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Every student is different, therefore every student has different needs. Every student also can learn differently, whether it be by incorporating more or less visual learning strategies, auditory learning strategies, or using more of the "hands on" approach. Learning can be and should be fun! I love teaching a student to success and when they enjoy what they are doing they are much more likely to succeed!
As an active member of my community, in the form of pageantry, volunteering, and leadership, I have always enjoyed instructing others. Currently, I love my job at Midwest Generation as an Instructional Designer of Training. I get to train Engineers and Office Managers on subjects I knew little about, and have grown in responsibility and development. I love kids, since my summer camp instruction job I held all throughout High School as well as an active instructor at my church. I j ... read more

My B.A. is in History and Social Behavioral Science. This encompasses Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Economics and Political Science. After graduating second in my class with a 3.9 GPA, I started working for the Art Institute of Chicago. During the last five years, I have worked with children of all ages and at all developmental levels. I also have been responsible for grading coursework in all subjects in the classroom. In addition I have developed lesson plans for small groups. I tutored college level students in Spanish as part of my work study. With regard to my Language Arts credentiials, I was Student Life Editor in school and my History Major greatly enhanced these skills.
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 certa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I am a part-time college teacher, I apply my teaching style to both my classes to keep it constant. I offer tutoring during my office hours and I have learned to be patient with my students, since no one learns the same way and they learn at their own pace. Since becoming a teacher, I have openly embraced the learning process and exactly what it takes for a teacher to ensure success in their students.
During my undergrad, I was part of the mentoring program called P.O.W.E.R. which tutored and mentored in-coming freshmen girls and boys. P.O.W.E.R. stands for Peers Offering Ways to Excellent Results. I had a group of 10 girls whom I met with weekly and tutored them in any subject they were having trouble with. I even went to some of their homes to tutor them, if they could not meet during school. I was on the Honor's List with a perfect 4.0 GPA three years in a row. Because o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In the time that I’ve spent tutoring Spanish, what I’ve always found to be true is that in order to succeed, a student needs to have an approach to the material that works for them on a personal level. Whether that means amassing small mountains of flash cards or listening to Spanish-language podcasts or trying to equate Spanish verb conjugations with English, every student has something that works for them. It’s just a matter of finding it.
Although the bulk of my tutoring experience has been with university students (two years), providing instruction in basic, mid-level and advanced Spanish coursework, I feel there are a few others worth mentioning. From February to November of 2010, I worked for a non-profit in Bolivia as both a translator and a tutor in a home for children aged 5-13. Several years before when in high school, I worked as a trombone instructor for elementary and ... read more
