"I'm also certified fluent in both French and Spanish and spent last semester in Paris, France. I'm a fun, engaging teacher with a dynamic personal energy, and one of my greatest strengths is generating enthusiasm in even the most reluctant students. I don't see why grammar lessons can't be games and punctuation worksheets can't make you laugh! I understand how discouraging it can be to struggle with reading or writing at any age, and my personal objective is to give students the tools they need to feel confident and proud of their work. In my spare time, I love reading, running, and spending time with my family.." ...

In addition, my English and secondary education minors give me a strong background in nearly every research topic and discipline. No topic, assignment or preparation is ever out of reach for my students, and it is my personal mission to prove that to ...

"I have extensive experience tutoring and working with youth in general. I have tutored fourth- and fifth-graders in math and peer-edited countless peers' college essays; I have directed youth sports camps and provided support to severely emotionally disturbed high-schoolers. It may sound trite, but I deeply enjoy the intellectual and interpersonal challenge of the teaching experience. While I expect hard work from a student, I am patient above all and listen before I lecture."

"I see teaching as a form of service - education has given me many intellectual and professional opportunities, and I look forward to making the empowerment of others my life's work. I've had a passion for history and politics since my eighth grade social studies class, where we learned modern American history while also monitoring the presidential election and preparing for our U.S. and Illinois Constitution tests.

"student at the University of Chicago, and I've been living in the Chicago area for about five years. I work with students for both ACT prep and academic support.
