A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a very rewarding occupation. I believe that in order to learn one must be stimulated in many different ways. We all learn through visual, tactile, and auditory methods and many require combination strategies. My experience with working with all kinds of exceptional children has allowed me to see the potential in every child. I am dedicated to helping children and contributing to their greatness.
I have earned a BA in Communications Sciences and Disorders and I have tutored children in the Chicago Public School district for several years. I will be attending graduate school to receive a Master's degree in communication disorders. As an undergrad I have worked with children with learning disabilies, languge impairments, and neurological disorders. I am patient and dedicated to working with children in all capacities.

More About This Tutor...

As a Golden Apple Scholar of Illinois, my passion for teaching is constantly growing and requires much experience. I have taught summer school classes and taught many lessons at the schools I've observed for my clinical practice. Overall, I have completed 120 hours of clinical experience while teaching part-time at a Learning Center, where I've tutored students in Beginning Reading, Reading, Study Skills, and Mathematics.
Because I have such a strong passion for teaching and children, I love to help others succeed and would do whatever it takes to do so. My teaching involves incorporating many games into lesson plans to grasp my students attention, thus making the lesson fun also. Because students learn differently it is our job to teach based on their learning style, which is what I am best at doing. I love to break down information in ways that relate to my students.

My teaching style is Socratic. I find out where the student's understanding lies, and then I lead them through the process of discovery. This is an interactive process. I do not believe that a student will stay involved if they are not actively engaged. Math is somewhat different. After breaking down the method of problem-solving used in the student's textbook, I would guide them step-by-step through the problem-solving process. It is essential to acknowledge the student's effort through praise and encouragement. It is very important to provide the parents with feedback regarding their child's progress.
I am a recent college graduate. I was award "Top Student" Honors in Genetics for 2007-2008, and "Outstanding Student Honors" for 2008-2009. My overall GPA was 3.8/4.0. I am interested in how others learn, and I took several psychology courses including Educational Psycholo ... read more

Teachers can be a catalyst for change and participate in the transformative learning process for both the student and the teacher. Learning is a collaborative experience and I am dedicated to a student-centered practice. My responsibility as an educator will be to act as a facilitator in the learning process and encourage students to self-reflect, critically think, and embrace the many different aspects of our community. Every child should have an equal opportunity to formal education. For me, teaching represents a tool for social change that can equip students with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to prevail over societal discrimination. Furthermore, I strive to enhance a student’s self efficacy. It is paramount for students to receive encouragement and positive appraisal so that their level of self-efficacy can increase. The educator should create a positive environment that pr ... read more
