My background in teaching kindergarten and first grade include hands-on activities to keep their natural curiosity alive and develop new curiosity. The number one thing that I love about teaching is seeing the progression of abilities in my students. Especially at such a young age, it is amazing to see my students use their higher level thinking. Knowing that my students’ confidence levels grow with every accomplishment in their abilities gives me great joy as a teacher. I have worked with students who have a range of abilities, so I feel I have been lucky to see the different levels of students. This has allowed me to develop lessons and activities that can challenge the gifted students and still meet the needs of all students. I am a graduate student from Northern Illinois University where I have earned a BS in elementary education, which enabled me to gain an understanding of teaching

I love helping children see the beauty in the world we live. That can be through solving a math problem that they struggled with or helping them learn from their mistakes. My goal is to help your child reach their full potential. I believe with the correct learning environment and focused attention a child will be able to overcome all obstacles. During my study towards at BS in Chemistry I published a paper with a professor doing electrochemical research. I currently work at a small manufacturing company where I purchase raw materials, formulate products, supervise the manufacturing process and check the quality of the end product. Through my studies and work I have learned to apply analytical thinking to real world problems for results. During the past decade I have tutored in mathematics, science, philosophy, photography and literature.

My focus is on presenting the material in an age appropriate fashion. Each student's needs and skills will vary.Projects are designed to meet these needs, expand existing skills and introduce new skills and media. My art practice is varied and utilizes a wide range of media. I encourage an atmosphere of inspired experimentation and focused technical skill development. I delight in giving young artists the tools to learn, play, and create art. I utilize national standards for age and skill level in developing my projects and classes. Educating is a joy that allows me to share my knowledge and skills with my students. Starting in 1996, I taught private art lessons in painting and drawing. During my associates degree, I began teaching at the park district. For three years, I taught drawing, painting, mixed media and sculpture to children pre-kindergarden to adult. I also had two advanced s

Every student is different, therefore every student has different needs. Every student also can learn differently, whether it be by incorporating more or less visual learning strategies, auditory learning strategies, or using more of the "hands on" approach. Learning can be and should be fun! I love teaching a student to success and when they enjoy what they are doing they are much more likely to succeed! As an active member of my community, in the form of pageantry, volunteering, and leadership, I have always enjoyed instructing others. Currently, I love my job at Midwest Generation as an Instructional Designer of Training. I get to train Engineers and Office Managers on subjects I knew little about, and have grown in responsibility and development. I love kids, since my summer camp instruction job I held all throughout High School as well as an active instructor at my church. I just gr

I am patient, easy going, and enthusiastic about sharing my talents and knowledge in visual arts. I believe in practicing student centered educational methods. I guide students to think critically, work cooperatively, take pride in their successful decisions, and analyze their less successful choices. Motivating a student requires me to know the interests of each individual. I acknowledge student's interests beyond their work. My recognition of an individual's goals empowers the student to learn and grow. I've taught numerous weekend art classes to students ages 6-14 that included earth art, drawing comics, 3-D art, and LEGO simple machines. The Morton Arboretum teaches me the value of connecting people of all ages to nature through observation, activities, and art. Leading students at an Elementary School has taught me how to effectively step into any educator's position and accomplish

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 speci
