Proficient English Instructor

Poetry is one of my top subjects!

I am a University of Chicago graduate in English with a minor in Environmental Studies. I have always had a strong interest in and affinity for mathematics and the sciences, particularly Earth Sciences, and I am very familiar with Environmental Law in particular. I particularly enjoy reading (thus the English major) - poetry above all - and playing chess (for which I am also available as a tutor).

More About This Tutor...

I worked as a teacher's assistant for several years in public schools in Illinois, assisting in K-5 classrooms. I worked at Sylvan Learning Center for 2 years, teaching beginning reading and elementary reading. As I gained experience, I began tutoring students in the school district where I worked. After several years, I became a fifth grade teacher in a private school where I taught for 5 years. In this position, I worked with students on writing skills, and prepared students for our annual math olympics, science fair, and spelling competitions. I tutored individual 4th and 5th graders after school.
I generally give an assessment to find out about individual student needs. When working with younger students, I usually plan a series of activities, and learning games to help reinforce learning. I feel that it is important to develop goals, and would work with classroom te ... read more

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...

In high school, I volunteered numerous hours at a local elementary school tutoring students in reading and math. I majored in English teaching in college, was trained in all the aspects of teaching reading, composition, and grammar, and earned a year of teaching experience for my internship as a 7th grade English teacher. During my time in college, I volunteered as a homework help tutor at a local high school, and was selected for an internship with my University's writing center. During that internship, I was trained in the theories and practices of teaching academic and professional writing, and then was hired as tutor at the writing center. I worked there over a year tutoring college students in writing composition.
I am very passionate about teaching, especially on a one-to-one individual level. I am a firm believer in objective-based strategic teaching. I like working individ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to students of all ages and abilities, including college-level calculus, set theory, logic, number theory, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. I have also tutored my fellow students in various topics of physics. While conducting several research projects in pure mathematics, I spent the summers teaching public school teachers in Chicago new ways to improve their classroom instruction. I also have extensive experience in the humanities. My second degree is a BA (honors) in film theory, which is complemented by many classes in philosophy, literature, and art history.
The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to ... read more
