A Little Bit About Me...

Simply put: My teaching style is student-centered, and so is my tutoring style. I start where the student is now, and go from there, working from strengths and shoring up weaknesses. Most importantly, I develop a plan of "action," by the end of the very first session, so I waste neither the time of the student nor the money of the parent/payor.
Over 20 years of experience teaching ESL speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary to levels ranging from literacy to near-fluency. An ESL training film was made about my teaching style in 2003 by the ALRC, Adult Language Resource Center in Arlington Heights,IL. In 2005, I patented a revolutionary system for teaching keyboarding / typing to both adults and adolescents. Concomitantly, 12 years of preparing students for the TOEFL examination. 20 years of experience teaching high school English---Grammar and Compostion; Literatu ... read more

Im a wonderful person with an excellent need to be better.

I am a very smart individual and I am very helpful. I love to read and write. I am very creative with everything that I do. I am a motivator and a very hard worker.

My teaching style depends upon the learning preferences of the student, as I know each student has their own way of learning. Moreover, I also provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I believe in learning not only the concepts of a subject, but also their real world applications. Furthermore, I believe the most important part of tutoring is making learning fun and providing students with confidence in the subject being tutored.
I have university teaching experience and tutoring students for 19 years in a variety of subjects for students in grades 1-12, as well as traditional and non-traditional Undergraduate and Graduate students. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects, I also provide assistance with Master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations, specifically Statistical/Research Design Methodology and Statistical Analysis.

I have significant experience working with teens in a classroom setting. I taught English in public secondary schools on the island of Guadeloupe in 2009-2010, and for the past four summers, I have worked for the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy, a French immersion program for high school students. This summer, in addition to teaching a four-week French Level I class, I designed and taught a seven-day elective course called “Making the Museum,” in which we critically examined the roles of artist and curator through exploration of museum websites, discussion of contemporary Francophone artists, and studio projects. I have also worked as a French teacher for parents and their young children at Multilingual Chicago in Logan Square, and substitute taught adult classes at their center as well.
