" My past tutoring and teaching experiences include working with individual college students on English essay writing, Intro Micro- and Macroeconomics, and 4th-5th grade creative writing.

"I am highly qualified to teach writing skills, mastery of the English language, statistics, history, and of course, anything relating to the study of politics.

I teach at UIC and Northeastern Illinois University, where I have taught a variety of classes in American and international politics.

" I have taught or tutored in many different arenas, from high school teaching and tutoring to legal intern and lawyer training, and from summer camps and after-school programs to caring for my elementary-and-toddler-aged nieces and nephew. Currently, I teach high school math, science, English, social studies, and theater arts when those classroom teachers aren't available. That's right. I'm a substitute teacher so that I can tutor in the evenings instead of lesson planning and grading. For two and one-half years, I taught high school government, law, economics, U.S." ...

"If your student needs any help in Language Arts, request me, you won't be disappointed. I've been reading ever since I started reading those little pamphlet books like "See Dick Run."

"I love all history subjects and enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them gain a better understanding of the material. As a teacher, I understand that all students learn differently and that it sometimes takes an additional explanation to help the "light bulb" go on. I also know that working one-on-one with a student can help them gain confidence in the subject and then in the classroom.."
