Sign Language is one of my top subjects! Certification in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies

I was previously a dance instructor, and understand the basic principles of advancing within a certain skill. I have the patience and determination to yield results from a young educator. I currently hold a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Speech and Language Pathology. Through my undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa, I have learned about many speech disorders and the processes and basic understandings of changing behavior. Within speech and hearing I found a passion for American Sign Language. I became certified in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies at the university of Iowa and would like to pursue a career involving Sign Language.

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. My first job, straight out of college was as an Educational Consultant. I trained teacher how to us computers to install educational programs for their s ... read more

For about year now have been teaching ASL and Interpreting for 6 years. I always have a deaf person accompany for the class. The particular one I would bring was born deaf and has superb skills in speech therapy. Therefore, she can read lips and is an excellent and patient instructor as well. She has a perfect balance of the hearing world and the spoken language and the deaf/hard of hearing world. She has previously worked as a nanny for 9 years and is excellent with teaching children ASL as well.
We like to teach in fun way not just conventional. If the student(s) have fun with they are learning, they are more likely to grasp and stick with it.

I am in my second year as a certified/licensed sign language interpreter. I currently interperet at West Aurora High school.

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 Greek. The modern point to Religious Studies is not to teach religion, but where academics relegates Ancient History and ethics. Additionally, I have 3 years experience as an Interpreter for the Deaf for the University of Illinois' Architectural Dept. I am qualified and interested in mentoring/tutoring High School history and English and would love to assist where ever I can.
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/newspape ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 am very patient, easy going and active listener. I will make their learning experience as best as possible.
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 Co ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more
