A Little Bit About Me...

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 teachers, if possible, to find out more about each student. I am able to tutor math, reading, writing, and other subjects. I enjoy helping students, taking time to develop a good working relationship, in which students feel comfortable. yet challenged.
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 p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teachers can be a catalyst for change and participate in the transformative learning process for both the student and the teacher. Learning is a collaborative experience and I am dedicated to a student-centered practice. My responsibility as an educator will be to act as a facilitator in the learning process and encourage students to self-reflect, critically think, and embrace the many different aspects of our community. Every child should have an equal opportunity to formal education. For me, teaching represents a tool for social change that can equip students with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to prevail over societal discrimination. Furthermore, I strive to enhance a student’s self efficacy. It is paramount for students to receive encouragement and positive appraisal so that their level of self-efficacy can increase. The educator should create a positive environment that pr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I especially love working with elementary students in the areas of reading, spelling or language arts. I usually can help a student improve their reading grades, and help them to decode new words. I also like teaching ESL because it gives me a broader concept of the world outside the U.S. I really enjoy learning about new cultures.
As a private school teacher for over twenty years, I have taught students from preschool to college, including teaching ESL to Chinese immigrants, from intermediate to advanced. While living in California, I took seminars on how to work with students who have learning difficulites in the areas of reading, spelling, writing or language arts.

More About This Tutor...

Although I am not the typical teacher, as in I do not have my own classroom, I believe that every child needs to be considered on an individual basis. While there are many teaching philosophies, it is difficult to hold every child to the same standard and expect the same results. In addition, as a teacher, I hope to be flexible enough in my teaching style that I can help a child learn through several modalities. If they are having difficulty learning information through one technique, I have to be prepared as to an alternative way to present the information so that they can better understand the concept I am presenting.
I began my exploration of teaching at a young age when I set up a "school" in my basement, and taught to a classroom of pretend students. Since then, I have been an aide to several students with special needs including two children on the autism spectrum. In ad ... read more
