Also taught Preschool, After School Care Programs, Summer Camps, Day Camps. Other Teaching Experience: Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, 5 Day Clubs.
Specializing in discovering how student best learns. Open Ended Questions, Focus on Strength while pinpointing areas of weakness to correct and strengthen areas of concern. Teach child as a whole person understanding we need trust and confidence to truly reach our potential. STUDENTS HAVE TROUBLE LEARNING WHEN TRUST BREAKS DOWN AND THEY ARE AFRAID TO EXPOSE WEAKNESSES OR ASK QUESTIONS. To me, this is the key to success--trust in a safe and challenging and FUN learning environment wheee mistakes are treated as paramount to learning, not as hindrances.

The last four years of teaching, I taught an accelerated first grade class and curriculum. I have tutored all ages of Elementary Students for 4 years in all the general subjects.
I teach using centers and small groups based on the students learning style and level.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my study towards at BS in Chemistry I published a paper with a professor doing electrochemical research. I currently work at a small manufacturing company where I purchase raw materials, formulate products, supervise the manufacturing process and check the quality of the end product. Through my studies and work I have learned to apply analytical thinking to real world problems for results. During the past decade I have tutored in mathematics, science, philosophy, photography and literature.
I love helping children see the beauty in the world we live. That can be through solving a math problem that they struggled with or helping them learn from their mistakes. My goal is to help your child reach their full potential. I believe with the correct learning environment and focused attention a child will be able to overcome all obstacles.

I have a great deal of experience in educating students. I have earned my BA from Northern Illinois University in Communications, and I also have earned my MAT from Rockford College in Education.

I love using different styles of teaching to see which way each individual learns best. I believe all students are capable of learning the same curriculum, but may need to be shown or approached in different ways. Some students may need a hands-on approach and some ... read more

As a graduate of Sacred Heart Classical Center, I have taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II since I left the school in the Spring 2009. During that time, I have taught and tutored every type of student from the high achieving to the equally achieving, yet learning disabled, student.
My goal is to teach a student. This includes presenting material in a way he or she can assimilate it. If the student does not understand the information I present, then I try my best to show him or her practical, real life examples of how to accomplish the task at hand.

As a high school student I participated in peer tutoring. While in high school I volunteered to serve as a tutor in Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Zoology, and Biology. I graduated with 27 AP credits which helped me complete a B.S. at Clarke College in 3 years. At Clarke I found that tutoring my peers helped both the student and me. As a biology major at Clarke College I took many courses in science including biology, chemistry, and physics. Clarke is a liberal arts college so I took a variety of courses including English and History. At Clarke I tutored peers in many classes such as Human Biology, General Chemistry, and Elementary Physics. I also revised and edited papers along with providing topics and direction to written works.
I started tutoring people because it seemed like a great way to meet different people, but I continued because I like helping people learn and discover n ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every student should be given more than enough opportunities to succeed in school. Generally speaking, I believe students learn much more efficiently when they have manipulatives to work with. Also, when students are able to relate to the subject matter, and know why it is important to learn it, they grasp and master the skill quickly and easily. My calm and caring manner also facilitates learning and reassures the students that I truly care about them.
Illinois State University is well known for their education program. Graduating from this university has filled me with pride and confidence in my ability to teach. I have taken many methods classes in which they taught me how to teach lessons in Math, Science, Reading, Social Studies, Special Needs students, and Literacy. Also, I have taken many Spanish classes in college along with general education classes in biolo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I strive to develop each student's interest in the subject at hand. He or she is far more likely to enjoy learning and retain information this way. I follow a method of individual trial and error supplemented with examples and corrections.
I have recently graduated from the University of Delaware and intend to pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry within the next few years. My major was in Chemistry with a minor in Biochemistry; I also focused on Theatre, Japanese, French, English, and Biology. I spent two semesters as a Teaching Assistant for General Chemistry and held personal office hours for tutoring regularly. I have worked at a learning center teaching students of all ages. In addition, I tutored various subjects in high school including ESL.

I have always been driven to attain academic excellence. I have two degrees: an AS with high honors and a BS in Biochemistry Magna Cum Laude. As such I have taken many courses in math and science, and I am also interested in foreign languages and the social sciences. During the past 5 years, I have received level 3 tutoring certification (the highest available) from a local college where I was previously employed as a tutor. My main expertise is in math and science (especially chemistry), but I have also tutored students in psychology, English, Spanish, German, and study skills.
I love teaching and getting to know my students along the way. I have worked with many people; some young, some older, and some who spoke very little English. I have learned that everyone is capable of achieving extraordinary things, sometimes they just need to have the information presented in a simp ... read more
