Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Apple River, IL

I prefer to see what the learning style of the student is and then adapt my teaching style to the student. I was an in-school suspension teacher for two years at Durand High and Middle School, helping students get caught up on their pre-algebra, social studies, science, English and Spanish homework. Previously to becoming a teacher I worked in industry as a project manager or assistant for different companies, using Spanish occasionally. I student taught in 2004 at Hononegah HS, one semester at Auburn High School before being hired at Durand High School. I taught there for four years and took a job in 2008 at Christian Life High School where I am currently employed during the school year.

Very Patient and flexible and tend to search for the method that works best for the student. I always attempt to bring in familiar analogues to help visualize any area of struggle for a particular student. I worked for over 1 year with a firm in Chicagoland called TopRate Tutors. I tutored individuals from 5th grade all the way through adults in continuing education. I guided study sessions for SAT & ACT prep as well. My expertise is certainly in mathematics & physical sciences, however, tutoring grade & high school literature, english, social studies is also a high capability.

I love teaching and working with young people of all ages and abilities. It is my belief that all students have the ability to learn, so they can succeed and gain the confidence in their abilities. In order to help children reach their highest potential, I believe that each one should be given personalized and individualized instruction that is based on their given abilities and skills. I am a patient, helpful, and kind person. Over the years, I have become flexible in the way I teach as each child learns differently and deserves the needed respect to help them reach their dreams and goals. As a graduate from Briar Cliff College, I have always enjoyed learning and wanting to help others succeed. I have earned a BA degree in Elementary Education, in which I have taught in the classroom for 2 years, but have also taught at a learning center for a total of 5 years. While in colle

First, I would get to know the client personally (parents, siblings, friends and interests). Next, I would work with the client to identify the problem areas and create a list ranking them from major to minor.

With my undergraduate degree in hand I taught Marketing and Sales at Whiteside Area Vocational Center in Sterling, IL, for eight years. I left teaching to enter the corporate world working for several companies, i.e., National Manufacturing Company in Sterling, Amerock Corporation in Rockford, and Greenlee-Textron in Rockford. I moved from a product manager to national account manager. Following my corporate experience I returned to tutoring students, K-12, in Princeton, IL, in math up through geometry, and specializing in tutoring students who could not go to school either due to an accident or illness. I am best in a one-on-one environment and can acclimate to most personalities. I love learning and care very much about passing that on. I attempt to find each student's "barrier" to learning and customize my approach. I am especially good in the math subjects.

I am available to help your child find academic success in any area of learning. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible.

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a BA in English. Psychology and child development were part of my curriculum. When our children were all in school, I started substitute teaching K-12. I especially enjoyed working with K-5. I have worked as a substitute, permanent substitute and teaching assistant for about 13 years in the Concord School District (NH) and the Provo School District (UT).

Also since starting my program at Cardinal Stritch University, I've been placed in a couple of schools and have taught along with the regular teacher. My goal is to be a teacher that can motivate students in their learning and to become sucessful students. I like teaching through differentiation methods.

I have a combination of teaching styles that I like to use during my classes. I first like to pre-teach a topic, then I have an activity for inquiry and at the end I like to re-cap. I also like to use a student-teaching approach where I allow students to use the learning style they are most confortable with; visual, silent moment, hands on activities. Not all children learn the same way. I believe in fostering an encouring learning experience for all children. I am a very resourceful individual who posses skills, education and experience valuable to any educational organization. I am culturally diverse and can relate to people of many different background.
