I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise. Furthermore, and in spite of the fact that I do not understand this most bothersome phenomenon, children instinctively enjoy my company, which is ironic, because I try my hardest to keep them away from my physical person at all times. I know, also, that 'applicants', or whate

Motivation is important because it is the driving force to achieve personal success. Our role as teachers is to learn what motivate each student and then utilize that knowledge. We will continually use sincere praise and maintain high standards. Students will become engaged in their own learning evidenced in academic achievement. The Achievement Centers, our after school tutorial/diagnostic clinic and before and after school care, is available for all ages and subjects. Tutoring and diagnostic testing is available after school, evenings (Monday – Friday) and Saturday mornings. The clinic is available year-round.

The testing is scheduled for two three hour sessions on separate days during after school hours. The evaluation consist of various test measuring a student’s cognitive abi

I have experience as an online journalist, essay writer, local news reporter, certified elementary school teacher and music teacher. I have published many interviews, book and music reviews and worked with children and young adults. I have also taught ESL for many years and designed curriculum guides for many student levels. Relating well to the student is the key to communication. A tutoring session should be a positive experience and a strategy for developing skills should be discussed early on to insure clarity.

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 certain tal

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 middle school students from district 204. The reason I mention these two experiences is that, for all their differences, they did have some things in common: They both required patience and reflected how integral a student’s desire to learn is to their success. 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 pers

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 just graduated from Illinois State University about a year ago, and am recently educated and knowledgeable in all subjects, especially English, Social Studies, and Math. I also have five years of French studies. 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

My classrooms involve learning-centered groups in a workshop approach. I find that students are encouraged by the examples of other writers and learners at their own levels. I provide a great deal of individual feedback on assignments. I encourage the imitation of examples in writing and the discovery of other writing styles. I am sensitive to the needs and learning needs of each student. I have always been a reader and a writer. In my degree work, I learned how to inspire others to read critically and write well. I have many years experience as a college-level instructor. I also work locally with high school students at my church. In addition, I have worked at Writing Centers at several institutions. I also have helped with successful grant writing for several local organizations.

I was taught in my Sweetland Writing Center courses to teach with a non-directive approach, and allow students to do most of the talking and thinking throughout the tutoring session. This is primarily accomplished through the use of leading and probing questions, functioning to spark the student's thinking. I also frequently explain technical issues of grammar, and other higher order concerns within papers; they need to be able to understand the problem before they can tackle the solution. Furthermore, I was specially trained at University of Michigan to help ESL students. I aim to make the student a better writer and thinker, rather than aiming to fix each paper before me. I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, and will receive my diploma on August of 2010. I managed to accomplish four years of intensive school work in three years, which is a testament to my work-ethic an
