Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Reading tutors in Des Plaines, IL
"
I started tutoring during my Senior year in high school, and have been tutoring on the side ever since. In addition to tutoring on a regular basis, I also have a lot of experience helping out friends with subjects that they have difficulty with. I enjoy solving problems, so helping someone with an extra math problem or with editing their paper is always a welcome activity.
In addition to tutoring, I also dream up and start business and social entrepreneurial ventures!."

" I believe mentoring a student in this manner is just as crucial as teaching the concept itself. This strategy has been very effective in my teaching experiences, and I am certain that it will be effective with anyone who wants to do better in a subject area. My background in Biology began in 2004 and stretches through my time at Loyola University Chicago. I took Biology at an Honors and Advanced Placement level in high school and majored in it in college. But my level of expertise does not stop there--I have tutored students in virtually every subject from Kindergarten through 8th grade, and I have served as a mentor to many high school and ...

"As my skills progressed, I trained coworkers in animal nursing. Coworkers praised my patience and knowledge and recommended my teaching skills.
While working as veterinary technician, I volunteered at a local private school assisting teachers in the preschool and elementary settings. My passion for mentoring students grew, and I found myself changing careers and now supervise students in the After School Care program. As supervisor, I assist students in their homework as well as help my own kids with theirs."

"It is for this reason that I have been tutoring students since I was in high school. I understand that often it is necessary to go beyond the home and family to get students the assistance they need. I have worked with children for many years. Also, having a sister and nephews who are quite young has given me the patience necessary to work with students of all ages, and to explain what they don't readily understand.."

" The majority of my teaching and tutoring has been done with students in grades five through eight, which are some of my favorites. I also have a masters degree in gifted education, which taught me to strengthen higher levels of thinking and learning with students. I incorporate inferential thinking and logic into all of my tutoring sessions in order to give my students practice with skills that they will need throughout their lives. I also have an arsenal of test-taking tips and tricks that students can use to excel on standardized tests. Test-taking is generally not an inborn talent; it is a skill that must be learned." ...

"I have worked for two years as an English tutor and Writing instructor for Upward Bound, a federally-funded educational enrichment program designed to help students in low-performing high schools improve their college-readiness skills. As an Upward Bound tutor and instructor, I have grown comfortable working one-on-one and in small groups with high school students of varying personality types and academic abilities, and have frequently received positive appraisals from both my pupils and superiors.
