Highly Qualified Tutor Available for Grades K-6

My teaching style and approach varies depending on the needs of the learner. I try to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the child and base my approach to instruction on that. Each lesson is specially tailored to meet the needs of the individual student so he/she can succeed in school. Generally, I am able to provide the materials for the tutoring session, but I also help students with homework and other school related tasks. I try to make the tutoring sessions engaging and interesting for the students so that they will want to continue their quest for knowledge.
I have been tutoring elementary students for over 12 years now in all subjects areas and have had great success helping them excel in school. In addition to tutoring elementary students, I have had experience as a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, and special needs instructor. I offer services during t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style consists of finding that unique style that will suit each individual student. Growing up, I noticed that it was very hard for certain students to grasp certain concepts because they were not engaged in the teaching method. It is no secret that everyone learns a certain way, and no two ways are ever the same. I believe that my patience, my calm demeanor, and habit of wanting to make learning something fun rather than a job has certainly helped me in my education. I also am a big proponent of having children set goals for themselves. Setting goals makes you work harder without feeling the pressure, and I've learned that once children reach that goal they will just want to go higher.

More About This Tutor...

Based on my degree which is BS in Finance and MS in Management Information Systems I have been able to touch so many learning experiences from this. The nature of my studies has helped me to gain more understanding in both the business aspect and sciences. It has also helped to improve my way of writing in presenting reports and research based work. In the past, I have tutored elementary candidate in Math, English and Sciences.
One of the most favorable things that I love to do is helping children to gain more understanding in their academics. I have worked with different children in the past, and I have helped so many of them to understand that they can be the best in whatever they set out to do. I am very patient, tolerant and can help your child improve and get the best experience in learning.

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.

My favorite teaching experiences have been tutoring students one on one-it is truly remarkable to see the improvement students can make when they are able to work at their own pace and with individualized attention. I am committed to helping children attain their goals through showing them how much I believe in their success. Through providing individualized attention, I enjoy adapting to how students best learn-whether it be through shorter, more frequent sessions, helping students to develop study strategies, or working with students to increase interest in a subject. I am very patient, compassionate, and flexible-I am committed to working with students to help them reach their goals. I also understand that parent and teacher communication can be essential to help a student reach these goals-and certainly would strive to maintain a relationship with a student's teachers to have an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My love for teaching began when I would tutor my younger brother in reading. I would not stop teaching until he understood the concept he had to learn. I never thought of pursuing education in college, as the history and culture of Japan, China, and Korea interested me a lot. To augment my allowance, I took on tutoring jobs. This part time has helped me realize that I do have a knack for teaching and passion to ensure that tutees under my care do learn. While I did not switch to take up education right away, my BA degree has given me a lot of opportunity to read varied literary genres and to write for different purposes. It has helped sharpen my natural inquisitiveness to learn, to do research work, and it also fostered in me the desire to make a difference. With the education courses, the passion for teaching and learning has been ablaze.
In my twenty three years of teaching ... read more
