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 student

Hi. My name is Monique and I am a female tutor. I am actually 15 years of age and I am trying to make extra money while I am in high school and I feel it would be best if I choose to tutor others. I go to one of the best high schools in Chicago which is Providence St.Mel High School. I am currently taking a Spanish class and I have tutored in the past numerous of times but it wasn't a daily job. I like to be in an quiet environment because it will be easier for me and the student to be able to concentrate. I feel that it will create a better chance for the student to be able to understand the subject they are struggling on much better.

Includes writing poetry Simply put: My teaching style is student-centered, and so is my tutoring style. I start where the student is now, and go from there, working from strengths and shoring up weaknesses. Most importantly, I develop a plan of "action," by the end of the very first session, so I waste neither the time of the student nor the money of the parent/payor.
