I do enjoy working with students and seeing them strive to excellence. I am patient and will work with students to help scaffold them to higher learning. I believe that there are several different ways to teach students and knowing which way will help benefit your child. I will use thier prior knowledge to help them understand concepts that prove difficult to them.
I have my BS in Elementary Education with minors in Science and Social Studies. I completed my student teaching requirements in inner city Milwaukee. I then was hired right out of college to teach 5th grade in Arizona which I did for two years. I then transferred to third grade and began my masters program in reading. I have an anticipated graduation in May of 2010. I hvae tutored students all three years in various subjects.

My teaching style consists of finding that unique style that will suit each individual student. Growing up, I noticed that it was very hard for certain students to grasp certain concepts because they were not engaged in the teaching method. It is no secret that everyone learns a certain way, and no two ways are ever the same. I believe that my patience, my calm demeanor, and habit of wanting to make learning something fun rather than a job has certainly helped me in my education. I also am a big proponent of having children set goals for themselves. Setting goals makes you work harder without feeling the pressure, and I've learned that once children reach that goal they will just want to go higher.

I am an energetic and dedicated teacher who strives to encourage students to go beyond their very best by creating a positive and respectful learning environment. I establish high expectations for all of my students and create lessons that meet their individual learning needs. I have six years teaching experience in the inner-city of Chicago and hope to use the skills and knowledge I have gained from my teaching experiences in a suburban school district. I am a born teacher and take pride in my ability to motivate students and transform lackluster lessons into attention-grabbing lessons that will encourage students to become life-long learners.
I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box. Such activities should be hands-on and encourage the students to use th ... read more

The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to make lessons more fun and more significant. Rather than providing a mundane and meaningless list of facts, I explain the significance of the material by linking specific principles to larger themes. Towards these ends, I adjust my tutoring style to meet each student's academic and personal needs. I listen to my students, encouraging them to ask questions about the material I present. My background in mathematics enables me to provide difficult challenges for even the most able student, but I am also patient and thorough enough to get a struggling student back on track.
While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received my BA in Chemistry at Kalamazoo College. Along with my interests in the Natural Sciences, I have developed a strong passion for teaching. This passion has developed over the last four years, as I have held a position as a teacher’s assistant in the art classroom at a low-income elementary school in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This year I have also participated in the school’s tutoring program where I engage with students in efforts to build their basic literacy skills. This year I also began teaching ad leading Chemistry demonstrations to the Introduction to Chemistry classes. Not only do I enjoy the company of my students but having to teach Chemistry has ensured my own confidence in the field in a way that I have never felt before.
Through my experience as a tutor and instructor, I have learned the importance of patience and building relationships. I feel incredibly empower ... read more

My favorite teaching experiences have been tutoring students one on one-it is truly remarkable to see the improvement students can make when they are able to work at their own pace and with individualized attention. I am committed to helping children attain their goals through showing them how much I believe in their success. Through providing individualized attention, I enjoy adapting to how students best learn-whether it be through shorter, more frequent sessions, helping students to develop study strategies, or working with students to increase interest in a subject. I am very patient, compassionate, and flexible-I am committed to working with students to help them reach their goals. I also understand that parent and teacher communication can be essential to help a student reach these goals-and certainly would strive to maintain a relationship with a student's teachers to have an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my teaching I employ communicative tools to facilitate both individual and group instruction. I am often energized when I work with students and feel responsible to transfer something they will apply in their daily lives. As a painting instructor I rely on good communication, clear direction and enjoy talking with students about what they see in their work how to clafify their objectives.
In my teaching I stress fundamental design principles, technique and color theory. I am also invested in exposing students to art history which I believe enriches,informs and helps to shape a students own individual style. I have instructed adult classes in oil painting that focus on the figure, landscape and portraiture. Currently I implement arts integrated programs for K-8 in the Chicago Public Schools as a contractor.

More About This Tutor...

One place I belong is teaching and working with children. Anyone that knows me and that has worked with me would probably say that. I don't teach right now due to a desire to develop a real estate career so that I can end up in the classroom. Having said that, I really enjoy teaching. I am patient as all students are different in their processings, experiences and personalities. I am energetic and funny as I find that is a great way to connect with children. I have worked with all types of people, from severe attention deficit, to behavioral disorders, to utmost dislikes for specific subjects, to unresponsive. I honestly feel that I found a good way to work with all of them. I am still in touch with my students of the past and think that reflects how I might have made an impact on their lives. I find teaching the most rewarding, with the knowlege that most efforts will go unnoti ... read more
