I do the best I can to help my students do their best.

I feel like I can teach the most efficiently in a one-to-one setting. This allows me to tailor instruction to a student's particular needs.
I received a B.A. in English from Northern Illinois University in 2010. I am a certified High School English teacher for grades 9-12. I took a class during my B.A. called Advanced Essay Composition and I feel like that shaped the way that I write; and took my practice to a whole new level. It is strategies and methods that I learned in this class that I try to incorporate in my writing and my teaching. I've worked in a residential/ school setting for the last three and a half years. I completed my student teaching in the spring of 2012 at Grayslake Central High School and a long term substitution assignment at Lakes Community High School in fall 2013. I will be finishing my Master's Degree in teaching over the summer of 2014.

I graduated from Oregon State University this year with double Honors BS degrees in Earth Science (with a Climatology focus) and Environmental Economics & Politics. I also have a Minor in Political Science. My Honors Thesis, which is in the final stages of submission, is on the testing of a new variable mixing efficiency variable for use in our current climate models. I am an inductee of Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious college Honors Society in the US. In high school, I almost exclusively took honors classes and AP classes. I can confidently teach any subject that is taught in grade school. I have experience with AP tests, the SAT, and the GRE.

I love teaching students to master English and writing.

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Hello, my name is Vanessa and I have tutored students for almost three years. I tutor ages 5 to adult. When I begin tutoring a student, I perform an evaluation in order to determine the areas they need help. I adjust my teaching style in order to suit the student's learning style. I also provide parents with progress reports. My goal is to help students improve their skills and gain confidence.

I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise. Furthermore, and in spite of the fact that I do not understand this most bothersome phenomenon, children instinctively enjoy my company, which is ironic, because I try my hardest to keep them away from my physical person at all times. I know, also, that 'applicants', or whate ... read more

I would describe my teaching style as very thorough. I find that students are able to succeed when the curriculum, especially one with which a student is experiencing difficulty, is taught in a way that reflects their learning style and interests.
I have a Master's of Education degree with endorsements in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education, and have been teaching grades K-8 for seven years. Additionally, I have tutored and managed a Title I tutoring for my school district.

I have significant experience working with teens in a classroom setting. I taught English in public secondary schools on the island of Guadeloupe in 2009-2010, and for the past four summers, I have worked for the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy, a French immersion program for high school students. This summer, in addition to teaching a four-week French Level I class, I designed and taught a seven-day elective course called “Making the Museum,” in which we critically examined the roles of artist and curator through exploration of museum websites, discussion of contemporary Francophone artists, and studio projects. I have also worked as a French teacher for parents and their young children at Multilingual Chicago in Logan Square, and substitute taught adult classes at their center as well. Finally, I have worked for three semesters as a Tutor in the Writing Center at the School of the ... read more
