Sculpting is one of my top subjects! Capable of teaching all sculptural disciplines, but most highly specialized in mold-making and casting practices. Especially as related to Polymer, Metal, and Glass casting.

Devon was trained at the Art Institute of Chicago in a variety of fine arts. Sculpture is his primary focus, but he also has experience in painting/drawing, design, film/video, performance, and art-tech. Since receiving his BFA in 2011, Devon has been employed consistently for his sculptural knowledge. Working for Chicago Crucible, 3-Switch Design, and West Supply LLC, amongst several freelance jobs for artists like Salvidor Dominguez, Carolyn Ottmers, and Steve Haulenbeek. Devon has also attended several global art conferences including Art Basel in Basel Switzerland, and participated in several exhibitions such as the 2014 Spring Exhibition at Stairway Studios.

I am an energetic and dedicated teacher who strives to encourage students to go beyond their very best by creating a positive and respectful learning environment. I establish high expectations for all of my students and create lessons that meet their individual learning needs. I have six years teaching experience in the inner-city of Chicago and hope to use the skills and knowledge I have gained from my teaching experiences in a suburban school district. I am a born teacher and take pride in my ability to motivate students and transform lackluster lessons into attention-grabbing lessons that will encourage students to become life-long learners.
I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box. Such activities should be hands-on and encourage the students to use th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant programs, still images, powerpoint) to reiterate main points. I like to work closely with students and believe this type of communication is what allows each student to fully understand what's expected in the assignment. I believe providing a comfortable and easy going approach to tutoring so that learning is enjoyable. I am honest, patient, and nice.
I have taught university-level art history courses for the last 7 years. These courses include training in writing, presentation, and speaking in addition to their emphasis on the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have come a long way with achieving bachlors in biology and basic medical science. And hopefully on my way to achieving my biggest dream. But, in meantime, I want to help make a difference in small ways if not big. I enjoy helping people of all walk of life. Furthermore, I get satisfaction just for helping with no expectations. I enjoy working with children and have enormous patience. I've worked with disability children, assist them with learning and interactions with other children.
I'm always interested in education and continue to learn materials that I've already studied and furthermore, gain more knowledge through teaching others or their inputs. People have told me that they are amazed and admired my strength and determination to study medicine as I am hearing impaired. I can speak fluently and work with people despite having an hearing impairment. I hope to be a role ... read more
