Middle School Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cicero, IL

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. 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.

Hi. My name is Monique and I am a female tutor. I am actually 15 years of age and I am trying to make extra money while I am in high school and I feel it would be best if I choose to tutor others. I go to one of the best high schools in Chicago which is Providence St.Mel High School. I am currently taking a Spanish class and I have tutored in the past numerous of times but it wasn't a daily job. I like to be in an quiet environment because it will be easier for me and the student to be able to concentrate. I feel that it will create a better chance for the student to be able to understand the subject they are struggling on much better.

My teaching style depends upon the learning preferences of the student, as I know each student has their own way of learning. Moreover, I also provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I believe in learning not only the concepts of a subject, but also their real world applications. Furthermore, I believe the most important part of tutoring is making learning fun and providing students with confidence in the subject being tutored. I have university teaching experience and tutoring students for 19 years in a variety of subjects for students in grades 1-12, as well as traditional and non-traditional Undergraduate and Graduate students. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects, I also provide assistance with Master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations, specifically Statistical/Research Design Methodology and Statistical Analysis. I also have seven years of

I basically teach according to what the students like or is familiar with (art, sport, etc.) and I utilize what they're good at with the subject matter. For instance, if a student is into baseball, I teach math using scoring method, countries where players are from for social studies, speed of running, throwing, etc. for teaching science, and so on. With the younger students, I oberve them during choice time or free play and document what areas they are attracted to the most, how they interact with each other and their conversations. I use the data to help me develop and strenghten the abilities they exhibit. I attended Northeastern Illinois University and obtained a B.A. degree in Elementary & Special Education, with honors. My first job, straight out of college was as an Educational Consultant. I trained teacher how to us computers to install educational programs for their student

Includes writing poetry Simply put: My teaching style is student-centered, and so is my tutoring style. I start where the student is now, and go from there, working from strengths and shoring up weaknesses. Most importantly, I develop a plan of "action," by the end of the very first session, so I waste neither the time of the student nor the money of the parent/payor. Over 20 years of experience teaching ESL speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary to levels ranging from literacy to near-fluency. An ESL training film was made about my teaching style in 2003 by the ALRC, Adult Language Resource Center in Arlington Heights,IL.
