I believe all kids can learn with the right teaching methods

Hands on, artistic and technology based.
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.

More About This Tutor...

I have a Bachelors in English from Dominican University. I began A Plus Master Tutoring Center over 4 years ago and was teaching in my home. Now we have expanded to a center in Oak Park and we tutor all ages, from Pre-K to adults. Our subjects range from phonics to algebra. Our teaching styles vary from a 3:1 ratio, which would include up to three students and one tutor, or a 1:1 ratio which would be a private session with a student and a tutor. Session prices range from $25-$27 depending on the type of session. We pride ourselves in being an affordable tutoring center compared with the prices of Huntington and Sylvan learning centers. Our tutoring center works with all types of children and we are proud of the work we put forth.

The prompt for this box (TEACHING STYLE) is ascinine in and of itself: tutoring-style is what it should read. And, please, forgive me, but either a tutor achieves results or a tutor does not.
I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style as very thorough. I find that students are able to succeed when the curriculum, especially one with which a student is experiencing difficulty, is taught in a way that reflects their learning style and interests.
I have a Master's of Education degree with endorsements in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education, and have been teaching grades K-8 for seven years. Additionally, I have tutored and managed a Title I tutoring for my school district. I pride myself in working with my students, channeling their strengths, and helping them to use their strong suits in order to achieve success academically and socially.

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.

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 contacted directly by schools and teachers when a need arises. One teacher recently sent the following in an e-mail: "Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with my class! I have heard so many positive comments from both students and staff members about what they observed during your time in the classroom. I wil ... read more

I love teaching students to master English and writing.

I have a laid back teaching style, helping the students find the answers so that they have the knowledge to master any task related to English and writing.
I have many years of writing experience mainly in creative writing such as fiction, poetry, and screenwriting. This is in addition to my B.A and M.A. degrees in English and writing. I have also published poetry, won awards for writing and am finishing a book of short stories. I feel that writing is at the heart of many fields and mastery is key to advancing in career and educational goals.
