I do the best I can to help my students do their best.

I feel like I can teach the most efficiently in a one-to-one setting. This allows me to tailor instruction to a student's particular needs.
I received a B.A. in English from Northern Illinois University in 2010. I am a certified High School English teacher for grades 9-12. I took a class during my B.A. called Advanced Essay Composition and I feel like that shaped the way that I write; and took my practice to a whole new level. It is strategies and methods that I learned in this class that I try to incorporate in my writing and my teaching. I've worked in a residential/ school setting for the last three and a half years. I completed my student teaching in the spring of 2012 at Grayslake Central High School and a long term substitution assignment at Lakes Community High School in fall 2013. I will be finishing my Master's Degree in teaching over the summer of 2014.

Literature is one of my top subjects! Earned two degrees in English from Illinois State University

Real learning, the kind that lasts beyond a single course, comes from a student's personal discoveries.
I have multiple degrees in English, years of experience in reading, dissecting, and writing various forms of literature, teaching expertise, and an abiding passion for the written word. I have worked in libraries and as an assistant in a special needs preschool classroom, and I also spent a couple of summers as a Girl Scout camp counselor. I'm patient, dedicated, and enjoy working with students of all ages.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an English and Writing tutor since my freshman year of high school. During my last year of undergraduate work at The Ohio State University I was an Academic Mentor for the “Miracle-Gro” Capital Scholars program and helped 35 high school seniors successfully apply and establish admittance into college. I helped construct and edit admissions essays while providing constructive and personal mentoring to each student. I am passionate about writing and continue to pursue it as a hobby and also in my graduate studies at DePaul University. I appreciate and welcome the opportunity to work with young people to help fine tune skills and talents each individual will use in his or her personal and professional endeavors. I currently am employed as a Graduate Assistant in DePaul University’s College of Education where I edit work on a daily basis. I edit for clarity and a concise meani ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have never formally tutored anyone but I have helped my younger siblings and classmates with homework before and I am confident in my abilities to communicate information in a logical and well ordered manner so that a pupil will be able to understand, comprehend, and apply the information in a testing setting.
Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied.
