...one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each...

Katarina: Naperville French course instructor
...Health Educator in a family planning clinic in West Chicago. Finally, I am pursuing a career in medicine and have been accepted to medical school earlier this year. I look forward to being a tutor because I believe in that all students deserve an opportunity to excel in school. I approach learning as a conversation. I hope to build off of students knowledge and give them the skills to problem-solve and think independently.... I do not believe in giving answers away or taking shortcuts. I believe that teaching and learning are a conversation. The best skills for a student to have are to think and problem-solve on their own, and those are the skills I emphasize the most when I teach.

Debra: Naperville French course instructor
My name is Debra and I have an MA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. I really like engaging with the humanities and hope to help students improve their understanding of history, the social science, writing, and grammar. ... I like to be as conversational as possible, because I think that's the best way to communicate ideas. I try to be pretty informal, because I find that formality can turn students. Overcomplicating the subject matter is not helpful, so I try to make things as simple as possible and build on that foundation.

...particularly enjoy (and benefit from) learning and exploring new cultures while learning the language itself. As the child of a teacher I am a strong believer in the importance of education and all of the opportunities it offers to students. I finished my MA in May with a thesis on French fairy tales, but I also enjoy reading as much as I can, spending time with my family, and neighborhood trivia tournaments.... I find that getting to know a student and their individual interests greatly improves their experience and hopefully their interests in the subject. Foreign languages offer plenty of opportunities for varied interests, whether they're sports, music, movies or nearly anything else! Incorporating these interests into lessons makes learning more enjoyable and more beneficial to the student.
