I have just recently graduated with a Learning Behavioral Specialist degree from Illinois State University. I will be starting my teaching career at a High school working in a self-contained and resource classroom.Through my program at ISU I have been given a variety of strategies including for subjects as well as behavior management that I feel has allowed me to be successful in the classroom. I have had extensive experience not only teaching but turning as well. I have worked with students ranging from Pre-K until Seniors in High school. I also have taught a wide variety of contents, although English and Reading have been my strongest areas. Some qualities that I feel make me successful when working with students is my patience. I am aware that certain subjects and skills are extremely difficult and confusing to students. Taking time and making sure that if they are not understanding s ... read more

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

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.
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.

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

My comments on tutoring Composition : In both school and work I have relied on advanced skill levels in writing. As a substitute teacher and tutor, I have been able to enhance students' ability to express themselves. Additionally I have received training for instruction in this area in my pursuit of a K-8 teaching license.

My teaching style emphasizes intuition and adaptability to ensure a good fit between teaching and learning styles. Equal emphasis is placed on learning current material and the confidence for future learning. Teaching methods will vary depending on the skills, interests, and temperaments of each student.
Experience overview: 5-years experience as a substitute teacher, worked as a tutor for one year, volunteered to assist teachers in the classroom, and is in studying to become a licensed elementary teacher. Details I am currently in my fifth year of substitute teaching. The students have come from a wide variety of backgrounds and with varying degree of academic skills. I have had taught in all subject areas. In the classroom I strive to be well-prepared, organized, engaging, and accessible. I am on the preferred substitute list of many teachers and often I am cont ... read more

Listen. Understand. Work together.

I believe truly effective communication is a basic component that lies at the heart of success in any venture. Now after eighteen years working with a national leader in the insurance industry I am looking to tap in to the skills I learned there, as well as those used in a successful freelance writing career, to help advance the goals of just such a venture. I have worked in developing business analysis and training documentation, researched and written articles, book reviews and book-length histories of a company and its CEO. With published work in The Business Journal and Community Newspapers, Inc. I have worked under deadline to create concise and informative tools of information that have helped 'get the word out.' And therein lies the key to success.
Listen carefully. Understand the needs and strengths of others. Develop trust. Work toward a common goal.

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most rewarding aspect of teaching and tutoring is when the lightbulb goes off at the crucial point of understanding in the student's mind. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management and School Leadership. Furthermore, I have 67 additional education credits pertaining to teaching, tutoring, communication and human resources. I feel it's important to stay abreast of current educational trends, research and developments which ultimately affect the teaching style and learning effectiveness of the individuals involved.
Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A ... read more
