Poetry is one of my top subjects!

I am a University of Chicago graduate in English with a minor in Environmental Studies. I have always had a strong interest in and affinity for mathematics and the sciences, particularly Earth Sciences, and I am very familiar with Environmental Law in particular. I particularly enjoy reading (thus the English major) - poetry above all - and playing chess (for which I am also available as a tutor).

A Little Bit About Me...

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 students getting excited about learning;I feel that same excitement as though it was me as a young child again. It's my chance to do something meaningful and fulfilling with my life. It reminds me that I have imparted knowledge into the lives of each one of my students. This is what God has intended for me to do. “TEACH”
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 c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I generally give an assessment to find out about individual student needs. When working with younger students, I usually plan a series of activities, and learning games to help reinforce learning. I feel that it is important to develop goals, and would work with classroom teachers, if possible, to find out more about each student. I am able to tutor math, reading, writing, and other subjects. I enjoy helping students, taking time to develop a good working relationship, in which students feel comfortable. yet challenged.
I worked as a teacher's assistant for several years in public schools in Illinois, assisting in K-5 classrooms. I worked at Sylvan Learning Center for 2 years, teaching beginning reading and elementary reading. As I gained experience, I began tutoring students in the school district where I worked. After several years, I became a fifth grade teacher in a p ... read more

I am very passionate about teaching, especially on a one-to-one individual level. I am a firm believer in objective-based strategic teaching. I like working individually with a student to establish obtainable objectives, and then mapping and teaching specific strategies to obtain those objectives.I've been trained in a wide variety of techniques and practices, researched based teaching methods with proven results. Students who are struggling in a traditional classroom or even who just need to be challenged more usually just need some personal attention and a new approach to their education. I believe in helping all students experience academic success, whatever strategy or form that might take.
In high school, I volunteered numerous hours at a local elementary school tutoring students in reading and math. I majored in English teaching in college, was trained in all the aspects of ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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
