I believe all kids can learn with the right teaching methods

I have 17 years of special education teaching experience K to 12 grade and 2 years of elementary education experience as a 6th grade teacher. My specialty is reading, reading comprehension, writing and test taking skills. I enjoy using differentiated instruction to address the needs of my students. I believe that spelling and reading are the foundation for all other subjects. Last I build the students confidence through positive affirmations and motivation.
Hands on, artistic and technology based.

I generally give an assessment to find out about individual student needs. When working with younger students, I usually plan a series of activities, and learning games to help reinforce learning. I feel that it is important to develop goals, and would work with classroom teachers, if possible, to find out more about each student. I am able to tutor math, reading, writing, and other subjects. I enjoy helping students, taking time to develop a good working relationship, in which students feel comfortable. yet challenged.
I worked as a teacher's assistant for several years in public schools in Illinois, assisting in K-5 classrooms. I worked at Sylvan Learning Center for 2 years, teaching beginning reading and elementary reading. As I gained experience, I began tutoring students in the school district where I worked. After several years, I became a fifth grade teacher in a p ... read more

As a Golden Apple Scholar of Illinois, my passion for teaching is constantly growing and requires much experience. I have taught summer school classes and taught many lessons at the schools I've observed for my clinical practice. Overall, I have completed 120 hours of clinical experience while teaching part-time at a Learning Center, where I've tutored students in Beginning Reading, Reading, Study Skills, and Mathematics.
Because I have such a strong passion for teaching and children, I love to help others succeed and would do whatever it takes to do so. My teaching involves incorporating many games into lesson plans to grasp my students attention, thus making the lesson fun also. Because students learn differently it is our job to teach based on their learning style, which is what I am best at doing. I love to break down information in ways that relate to my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated from North Park University, summa cum laude. I have earned a BGS in Human Development which has enabled me to understand the cultural, social and psychological dynamics of human development. While at NPU, I served as a private humanities tutor and strived to help students achieve their academic goals. For the past year and half, I have volunteered my time at Gilda’s Club Chicago and have worked closely with men, women, and children who are diagnosed with cancer. I primarily served as a facilitator in the children’s school and coordinated play activities for children and adolescents. I am currently enrolled in a M.ED program for Special Education at UIC to further my education and work with children and adults in the community. Given my volunteer experience and the nature of my prior education, I believe that I will be well-suited to this institution.

As a private school teacher for over twenty years, I have taught students from preschool to college, including teaching ESL to Chinese immigrants, from intermediate to advanced. While living in California, I took seminars on how to work with students who have learning difficulites in the areas of reading, spelling, writing or language arts.
I especially love working with elementary students in the areas of reading, spelling or language arts. I usually can help a student improve their reading grades, and help them to decode new words. I also like teaching ESL because it gives me a broader concept of the world outside the U.S. I really enjoy learning about new cultures.

Although I am not the typical teacher, as in I do not have my own classroom, I believe that every child needs to be considered on an individual basis. While there are many teaching philosophies, it is difficult to hold every child to the same standard and expect the same results. In addition, as a teacher, I hope to be flexible enough in my teaching style that I can help a child learn through several modalities. If they are having difficulty learning information through one technique, I have to be prepared as to an alternative way to present the information so that they can better understand the concept I am presenting.
I began my exploration of teaching at a young age when I set up a "school" in my basement, and taught to a classroom of pretend students. Since then, I have been an aide to several students with special needs including two children on the autism spectrum. In ad ... read more
