Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pontiac, IL

I've been informally teaching for around 7 years, starting with private percussion lessons and high school drumline instruction and most recently tutoring through the Migrant Education Program in the subject areas of English as a Second Language, math, science, and Spanish. I am a current Geography Teacher Education student at Illinois State University minoring in Spanish. I will receive my license after completing my student teaching requirement in the spring of 2015. I propone an exploratory, learn-by-doing philosophy regarding education; I believe that students are best served producing their own inquiries (guided by an educator), and then seeking resolution through gathering information. Nevertheless, all students learn differently and I pride my ability to adapt to certain situations and provide the healthiest learning environment for my students that I can.

I have a strong passion to educate young minds and help them blossom into well-rounded, responsible, and successful individuals as well as life-long learners. I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade level, and those who were gifted/exceptional. Therefore, I have become proficient at differentiating instruction and designing creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students interested and focused. My greatest strengths include being conscientious and inspiring and motivating students. I actively engage their eager minds by implementing "best practice" in my instructional approach and incorporating a variety of manipulatives, enjoyable activities, and cooperative learning projects. In addition, I tail

Hello! My name is Payton and I am currently a student at Illinois State University. I am studying to get my bachelors in Special Education - Learning and Behavior Specialist. I am currently a junior and will be graduating in Spring of 2024. Once I graduate, I will be certified to teach k-12 grade Special Education. I currently have my Associate in Arts from College of DuPage as well. I have worked with children of all ages throughout my high school and college career. When studying at College of DuPage, I had many opportunities to observe and student teach within Middle School Special Education classrooms, specifically English. I loved it! When I'm home for the summer I am a head teacher at a daycare facility for an Elementary Summer STEAM camp. I am in charge of planning lessons and activities for my students. I am very comfortable working with students of all ages and those with disab

Piano lessons should be fun, as well as instructive. Some quotes from some of my students: - “I can’t pass the piano without wanting to play this piece.” - “I’m gonna do that again because it was fun!” - “I’ll be eating lunch and all of a sudden I have a burning desire to play the piano”. - “My favorite day of the week is Piano Lesson Day. Piano is fun!” When a student works on repertoire that he or she really likes, that makes practicing more fun. I teach classical repertoire, as well as pop, show tunes, jazz, etc. Proper technique and a knowledge of theory is important in any genre, so weekly assignments feature technical exercises and written work in addition to repertoire. My students are encouraged to practice every day. Once a student gets into the habit, he or she can expect to truly enjoy the process, and that’s what it’s all about - the process. Of course we set goal

I will adapt my teaching approach based on the needs and learning styles of the student - with language, I favor a practice-based environment, both teaching grammar and theory, but always putting the new skills in to practice with each session. I have extensive knowledge and specialization in French language and English literature, with previous experience teaching both. I have worked as a teacher of English as a Second Language at two elementary level schools in Paris, France, as a private French tutor, and as an elementary writing/composition tutor. I am currently working on my final year to receive my bachelor's degree at Illinois Wesleyan University.

If anyone is looking for a tutor, I would be willing to help. I'm a senior in college studying math and physics. I got a 35 on the math portion of my ACT. I have multiple undergraduate research experiences in mathematics. Both of those research projects have been presented at math conferences. One has been published and the other publication is in progress. I have gotten an A every Calculus, Discrete Mathematics, and Logic course I have taken in college. In high school I was a 4 year veteran in scholastic bowl. I also did math team for 4 years and qualified for state three times. I was a member of Worldwide Youth of Science and Engineering (WYSE) team for three years which included a trip to the state tournament. I can tutor on the college level for math and I can tutor on the high school level for computer science, chemistry and history. I try to make my rates very affordable. Let me

I will be certified to teach K-12. I believe that the earlier one starts learning a language, the easier it will be for them and the quicker they will learn. While I have recently tutored older students, I have observed and helped teach foreign language classes of all ages. I am originally from Bloomington, Illinois and am studying French and Spanish Education at Illinois State University. I am in my fifth year right now since I have two teaching majors. I will graduate in May 2014. Since my Junior year of high school, I knew that I wanted to teach French. In 2012, I lived in Angers, France and studied at an international university named Universite Catholique de l'Ouest. I lived with a host family and absolutely loved the entire thing. I think studying abroad is one of the greatest things a person can do. I feel more comfortable teaching and tutoring French since I have studied

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

I began learning Spanish my freshman year of high school and immediately knew that I wanted to teach it as a career. Since then, I have studied abroad twice. My first time was in Merida, Mexico during the Summer of 2010. I spent my Fall 2011 semester in Granada, Spain. I have high fluency (with an OPI score of Intermediate High)as well as cultural experiences in Spanish speaking countries. Passionate. Sharing my love of Spanish is a true passion of mine. I believe that we learn best when we are relaxed and able to have some fun with the knowledge being acquired.

I have precepted new graduate nurses and taught other nurses different styles of how to do nursing tasks. I also have a personal record of passing the NCLEX in 35 minutes (Although there are no speed points!). Your success on this test determines your ability to begin your career. It is not about the money, I make that point clear now. It is about caring for your fellow human being and being able to help them proceed on their healthcare journey. I have a very varied teaching style. Do you prefer real-world examples, or NCLEX test questions, or powerpoints? I can do whatever you would like. My goal is to help you pass!
