I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As a graduate of the Southern Illinois University, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two degrees, BS and MS in Mathematics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addit

I prefer to work one on one with a single student, I do my very best to make my student feel comfortable and ready to learn. I learn what the student likes; music, sports, movies, I use these things to relate to the student and then i'm able to relate the learning material to the students favorite things which I think helps them to be more receptive. I began tutoring while in high school, as a junior and senior I would spend 2-3 afternoons a week at the Middle School helping the learning support classes write book reports. While in college at Slippery Rock University, I put up flyers around campus and worked as an independent tutor for five dollars an hour aiding my fellow students finish their final papers at the end of each semester. I feel that my degree in Creative Writing aids me greatly in tutoring because my ability to think outside the box and put myself in the writers shoes help

In addition to my desire to practice law, I have a passion for the education of children. I believe children learn in many different ways and I am not committed to just one teaching style. As someone who developed later in life in terms of academic achievement, I know the importance of patience and passion in the education of children. I believe it is important to communicate without discouraging children. Learning is a process and cannot be rushed or forced upon anyone. I strive to make a difference in the lives of children and I believe I can achieve such a goal by teaching. As a law school graduate, I am well trained in writing and communication skills. While in law school I was awarded a position on the legal journal of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine. My duties as a member of the executive board were to manage the staff and tutor the other editors in writing skills as

I believe that every student can choose where he/she wants to go, as long as they are given the tools to acheive these ambitions. I have a heart for children and love watching their minds embrace new ideas and concepts. If I provide the patience, experience, motivation and materials, I hope that every student I have guided (or will guide) will go on to do great things. Working in a French public school taught me more patience than I thought I had. But in doing so, I am now prepared to deal with all types of children. If you show me even the slightest interest in learning, I'll coach you all the way! Let's learn together! I hold a degree in Political Science, but I concentrated in international relations with a fascination for other cultures and languages. Having lived in both England and France, I have been forced to adapt to new ways of thinking, speaking, writing and eventually
