Motivation is important because it is the driving force to achieve personal success. Our role as teachers is to learn what motivate each student and then utilize that knowledge. We will continually use sincere praise and maintain high standards. Students will become engaged in their own learning evidenced in academic achievement.

220 Experience: Standardized Testing Scores: ACT - 35 SAT - 2300 SAT II Math II - 800 SAT II Chemistry - 800 SAT II Biology - 790 5's on all AP Tests listed above. I've been tutoring for the better part of two years. Through that time, I have gained an earnest understanding of what it means to be an effective mentor. I stand by my belief that knowing the information and teaching the information are two entirely different things. When I tutor, I use techniques that get directly to the heart of the information. I primarily tutor ACT/SAT prep, Math to Calculus III, and all the Sciences. I am also knowledgeable on the college application process and can help with editing papers, developing a resume, or just serve as a guiding hand through a crucial time. Depending on the subject, I utilize from my own academic career tools that I found were the most effective and mos

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

If I had to pick one style it would be direct teaching. Although being a special education teacher I also use the cognitive strategy instruction. This approach is very helpful as a tool to help students develop the necessary skills to be self-regulated learners. One should continually differentiate the lesson utilizing all the modalities. When I facilitate interaction between the class it will depend on the lesson sometimes having the whole class participate is the way to go, other times it is helpful to employ small groups. I believe you have to be versatile yet consistent I feel this is important for the learning styles of the students. As a seasoned teacher I have accomplished many attributes. I have earned a bachelor's in Music and a masters in Special ed. In addition I believe that teaching is not like any other profession, it challenges you in every way possible from buildin

I have been through a series of career paths and throughout the past few years have realized that I have a great passion for teaching. I have earned a bachelors degree in Health Science from Benedictine University and would say that it was a very well-rounded curriculum and more over, I have gained the experience of being a leader and a teacher through my experiences there. I excelled in the areas of both science and math and therefore was selected to be an instructional assistant for both chemistry and my statistics class. For the past few years I have been able to keep up my skills by tutoring privately in the areas of both math and science but would like to reach out furthermore and extend that help to all youth around the area. Words cannot express my love and passion for teaching, I would say it is a profession that requires a great deal of patience and understanding but the payoff

I love teaching, and working with children of any age. I believe that children can learn things if they put their mind to it. I am very flexible in my schedule to help your child with their assignments. I am easy-going, friendly, considerative, and I'm never late for an appointment with a student that needs help with their assignments. My goal is to provide children with the best education possible, and support them when they need it. I believe I have the strength, and possibility of being the best tutor for your child. As a Proviso East High School graduate, I was very much strived to achieve a level of success in education as a part-time Special ED tutor, I accomplished getting A's and B's from freshmen-senior year in High School.

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

Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English language to my students and gave them the keys to unlock the wonderful world of literature. I was serious about producing results and helping my students become better readers. I used benchmarks to track their progress throughout the year, and nearly every student advanced in reading growth. I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long Middl

I began teaching and serving as an Advisor while still an undergraduate at Shimer College. I was given the honor of designing and teaching advanced tutorials in the Humanities. I also created and taught an Introduction to the Philosophy of Science. More recently, I have been an established substitute teacher serving in the History and English departments for 3 years at New Trier. I have a unique ability to engage students, either providing in-depth lectures or guiding them in the direction of their interests or toward possible solutions of their topic. This past summer I began tutoring students grades 1-9 in Reading and Mathematics as the teaching Supervisor of a summer school/camp program. I am now currently certified as a K-12 Substitute Teacher. My passion is developing the full potential of my students by providing them with the skills that foster the ability to solve problems

We all have certain teaching approaches that best suit our characters and personality styles. We must also have the flexibility to adjust to multiple, individualized learning styles. One strategy I personally employ is that of discussion and debate. Given a stimulating topic and good guiding questions, this can be a very effective way to have students develop arguments, challenge each other and think critically. It also gets a wider variety of students involved in the learning process and speaking during class. I also am a strong proponent of student-centered learning, whereby students take ownership of their own learning and speak as much as the teacher. Specifically, this might mean that students are responsible for summarizing or presenting certain material. This personal ownership, along with having to teach, typically results in better retention for the students. Students may presen

In my view, education is an ongoing process. I believe successful learning is mutual between teacher and student. In my view it is also imperative to foster a culture of respect in the classroom, to stay true to the subject matter, and to keep up with new developments in the field. But at the same time, I advocate being somewhat slow to embrace every new teaching trend since they may come and go. Finally, as a professional educator I endeavor to treat students/parents as clients and other teachers/administrators/ staff members as colleagues. True education as way of life never ends! In the mid-to-late 1980s I led workshops and served as a chaperone for U.S. and international foreign exchange program students aged 16-19 under the auspices of American Field Services (AFS). Then in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, I taught the basic speech course (public speaking) at several urban/subur

My most recent experience in teaching would be the year I spent in Seoul, South Korea. I began as a teacher and was soon the head teacher of the Kindergarten programs. Our kindergarten programs were a full day and full immersion for the students. I taught the middle school afternoon programs from ages 6-14 and at every level as well as in every subject. My most advanced students were fluent and therefore studied intensive subjects such as science, political history, geography and several others. We most intensely worked on writing and reading. My college experiences were spent observing as a student teacher, tutoring hispanic immigrants, and eventually teaching a semester of high school spanish classes. As an education minor (Secondary Education) I have been trained in teaching all fields of education. As a nanny for a large family in London, England following graduation, I spe
