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

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient and compassionate individual. I will always help a person capitalize on his or her academic strengths, while working patiently but dilligently to recognize his or her weaknesses.
I am a 21 year-old senior attending UW-Milwaukee. I will be graduated in December 2012 with a BA in Literary and Critical Studies with a minor in Philosophy. I have not had any formal experience with tutoring but have always been someone who my friends and fellow students seek out to proof read their papers and to give suggestions or comments. Last semester I made the Dean's List here at the university and I am maintaining a 3.8 accumulative GPA.

If you were to ask my students and co-workers to describe me and my work, you would hear things like: “extremely fast worker, high standards for quality, dependable and always meets deadlines, very easy to work with, eager to help you succeed, a positive, entertaining and enjoyable person to be around.” I am consistently inspired to learn new skills related to creativity. The breath of my skill set makes me a valuable tutor as I can perform many different duties. I would be grateful for the opportunity to speak with you further about the ways that I could create valuable learning experiences for this position and your child.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an English and Writing tutor since my freshman year of high school. During my last year of undergraduate work at The Ohio State University I was an Academic Mentor for the “Miracle-Gro” Capital Scholars program and helped 35 high school seniors successfully apply and establish admittance into college. I helped construct and edit admissions essays while providing constructive and personal mentoring to each student. I am passionate about writing and continue to pursue it as a hobby and also in my graduate studies at DePaul University. I appreciate and welcome the opportunity to work with young people to help fine tune skills and talents each individual will use in his or her personal and professional endeavors. I currently am employed as a Graduate Assistant in DePaul University’s College of Education where I edit work on a daily basis. I edit for clarity and a concise meani ... read more

I love teaching children and being able to see them learn. It is awesome to see and hear when they finally "get it" or when they understand something that I taught them. Moreover, when a student gives you an answer to a question and uses an example of something that you taught them earlier, it really shows you how quickly they can pick things up. My teaching "style" is very open--I will have an outline and while I am presenting I will sometimes ask for examples from the students to help get us through the outline together. You can't speak AT them; you have to involve the students in what you are teaching them.
Just recently, I worked with students in New Berlin, WI as part of the Junior Achivement program. While in High School and College, I worked with students in Madison at Whitehorse Middle School on Video Editing, PC Repair, Postmodernism, and Music. I have extensive skills in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style spans two decades, and many hundreds of students. In that time, I have learned that individual students have individual learning styles. Therefore, my teaching style would be dependent upon the student and his or her needs and current state of mind. When possible, I favor a mastery method of teaching, attempting to focus on the essential elements of learning, and then building knowledge. Other situations may require a different approach. But regardless of the approach, the tutoring will be a success only through scheduled and careful collaboration with the student and parent, and I will work to build and maintain that communication.
I have taught and served as a principal at parochial schools for 15 years, teaching every subject in every level in grades 4-8, and English in grades 9-12. In addition, I have served as an adult educator for 6 years. My particular area ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the most effective teacher is one who guides the students to finding the correct answers. Instead of simply giving out answers, a teacher should encourage students and help them along the process for them to find out the solutions on their own. By overseeing this learning process and helping along the way, the teacher ensures that the student will learn that they are capable of learning the material and further increase their confidence in academics.
I obtained a strong liberal arts education where I was able to experience and learn about a wide range of academic topics. However, I have a strong focus and specialization in the sciences with a BA in both Biology and Chemistry with a Mathematics minor. Math and science has been a strong area of mine, as I was a Supplemental Instructor for a genetics course for two semesters, as well as being a Laboratory Assistant that ... read more

I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most rewarding aspect of teaching and tutoring is when the lightbulb goes off at the crucial point of understanding in the student's mind. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management and School Leadership. Furthermore, I have 67 additional education credits pertaining to teaching, tutoring, communication and human resources. I feel it's important to stay abreast of current educational trends, research and developments which ultimately affect the teaching style and learning effectiveness of the individuals involved.
Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A ... read more
