A Little Bit About Me...

Have worked for Chicago Public Library as a Library page for the past six and one half years and was also a returning student. While a student I assisted classmates in finding research material for school projects. In my work I assisted patrons with computers and finding material within the library and how to use catalogs and databases.

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught University Writing Com 101 ESL, English Composition, Advanced Writing, Business Writing, Technical Communication, and Technical Writing courses. I formed classes where students used a wide range of computer programs to create and evaluate print and online documents, conduct peer review online in virtual discussion groups, and become more independent writers.
I encouraged students to find their “writers’ voice.” My goal was and still is to enable students to become more independent writers. This means that I helped my students to not only be able to report data and facts about their topics, but also interpret and explain why the topic is important to them. Furthermore, I encouraged them to connect their research to their overall evaluation or argument. In order to stress preparation for the “real world” to upperclassmen I incorporated hands-on practical projects in which st ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In 1991, I earned a dual Major BBA in Finance and Management Information Systems with honors. Concurrently with these degrees and taking 20+ credit hours per quarter, I was tutoring students in Financial Management, Algebra, and Economics. I have spent the past 15 years as an Entrepreneur while I also accomplished getting my MBA from the University of Chicago GSB/Booth School of Business in 2008. I have credible references that can attest to my personal tendency to teach.
I am inclined to teach at the high school or higher level in Finance and/or Small Business Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship and what that entails across all functions of a small business. My primary teaching style is to help the student understand the concepts rather than simply memorization. There are many ways to develop long-term conceptual understanding of difficult topics that I have learn ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator at all levels, I am interested in helping students achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished by providing opportunities for students to learn through their preferred method of instruction. Whether a student is in kindergarten or graduate school, it is the teachers job to facilitate and guide him/her to success. I am qualified to teach elementary and middle school students. In addition, I teach college courses to assist those who are entering the profession. As an academic generalist, I have some experience in several different disciplines and can help with many types of requests.
I believe that teaching is the most important profession in the world. Not only do I have the opportunity to shape young people’s minds and make them future leaders, I have the responsibility to do my best to assure their success. Student success should not only be evaluated ... read more
