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.

I believe a great teacher needs to have proper skills and talents for teaching. I learned a lot while growing up from a great teacher; my mother. My mother was a teacher for thirty years teaching elementary grades. I learned a great teacher needs to be respectful, patient and to be able to illustrate the lesson in an easy, simple way. I try to provide simple analogies for each concept. This enables the student to grasp the concept easier and faster. In addition I help my students to learn better by asking few questions about the concept. This will help them to truly understand the lesson by using their analytical thinking. I have been fascinated with tutoring for the past three years ago. I began tutoring one of the professors at the University of IL at Chicago in a foreign language. Since then, I have been tutoring various age groups from eight years old to fifty four years old. I recei

Since graduating from Northern Illinois University, I have had several experiences teaching children at the elementary and middle school age. I was a nanny for a family of three for a year right after graduating. It was a wonderful experience and gave me the opportunity to create my own lessons and activities for the children. The following year I was a substitute teacher in Wisconsin for various grade levels and loved each experience. I am looking forward to beginning to substitute teach again this December in the DeKalb area. I have wanted to be a teacher all my life. I love working with children and teaching. I believe that children are the future and should be given the opportunity to do well and succeed in school. I like to do my best to teach students how to do something and then let them discover and practice how to do it for themselves on their own. I feel that providing

I enjoy working with children. However, every child learns in a different way. I feel that there are a variety of different ways for children to learn. Using the computer, hands on activities, field trips, and cooking to name a few. I feel that reading and language are very important for a child's development. I earned my bachelors degree at Illinois State University in Early Childhood Education. I received and endorsement in special education as well. I taught Early Childhood Special Education for 9 years. I taught Pre-k for 2 years. During this time period I taught First grade summers school as well as helping Third graders prepare for the ISAT. I am going back for my ESL endorsement at Northeaster Illinois University now.

My desire to work with children and people, I am the people person. I love working with children, especially. I want to make a difference in them. I always love learn different languages. For instance, I learned Spanish for 2 and half years. I went to Costa Rica and became integrated in their culture, people and daily routine. Once I absorb all I can, then I always love to teach other people what I’ve learned. I have worked with 1st graders at Maryland School for the Deaf. Also, I have worked with the infant program and 2nd graders in Costa Rica during a summer internship. I like to teach children and people through experience, and play. I always want them to learn new things every day. Every child has their own style of learning. I will make sure that each person is able to understand what they have learned.

I believe in mutual respect for intelligence and expect productive and active participation from the student in their pursuit. Depending on the student, I might engage them in an appropriate book about their topic, ask them to find a magazine/newspaper article, tell me a personal story to identify with what it is we are reading about. This would depend greatly on their assignment, writing/reading skills, and interest. I feel every high school student needs to feel their mentors are supportive and appreciate their efforts, so I work best when I feel I am a part of a larger team incorporating the student, their family and teacher. I am 58 years old, raised 3 children while working as a legal secretary for 25 years. When my last boss retired, I decided to return to college and successfully graduated from DePaul University with a BA in Religious Studies Cum Laude with a minor in Classical
