I am very patient when it comes to my teaching style. I try to use techniques that are compatible with my student's learning style. I never get angry.
I have for many years helped friends and family when they have needed help with history papers, literature and writing homework, etc. I would love to assist others to achieve success in school as well. I can help with research papers or just regular homework. I am a history buff and enjoy reading history in my spare time so I can offer insight into history homework as well.

As a teacher, one of the most important things I can do is create a community of learners, which helps me determine how to assess my students. Creating a community of learners allows me to open up the door of connection between my students and myself.I have earned a degree in Journalism and finishing up with my degree and certification in English and Secondary Education. During the last eight years, I have been tutoring inner city students in English, writing,math, and reading.
One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing each one of my students grow as an individual and academically.I have always wanted to be a teacher since I can remember. I wanted to give back to my students what was given to me. "A chance to to learn and grow". For me, it seemed only natural to obtain a career in the area of my first love "TEACHING". I teach because it's who I am and what I do. When I see my ... read more

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.

As a graduate from Illinois State University, I completed 100+ clinical hours of observing, tutoring, and teaching lessons in the classroom. I have worked with students from ages 3-18, giving myself a wide variety of experiences. I student taught in an urban high school setting over a period of four months.

My strengths are literature, composition, and grammar, but I can also help with psychology studies, as I was a psychology minor.
Being a psychology minor, I have learned in depth the importance of teaching to multiple intelligences. I know that some students respond to lecture while others can only respond to more hands-on activities.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Illinois State University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, and a friend recommended me for an assistant job within a special education cooperative. I accepted the position and continued doing this for five years. The time I spent doing this career is what ultimately made me realize my love for teaching children. During the first couple of semesters at Illinois State, I was able to substitute part-time, which was also a great experience since it allowed me to work in a variety of different classrooms and to teach diverse groups of children. I completed all tasks as assigned by the teacher, including the instruction of lesson plans adapted for specific students and groups of students.
Based on my past teaching experiences, I have learned that in order to motivate students to learn, it’s imperative to make connections between the curriculum and th ... read more
