...the best daughter, sister, partner, friend, etc. I want to be able to encourage others to then overcome obstacles that prevent them from being the best that they can be; sometimes, we all just need another person to talk to in order to process and find a solution for our struggles in life. I want...

...many complexities, cultures, and countries of the world. In teaching and tutoring, I think one must foster a positive, welcoming, low-anxiety environment built upon the mutual respect of all involved, so that students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and experiences and are able to learn new material. I try to incorporate as much material from...

...a new language. Classroom assistance, student supervision, is just a few of my areas of desire. Throughout my work experience, I have refined my communication, organization, and motivational skills. Additionally, I possess a solid and positive attitude towards learning to teach, and a gift for connecting quickly with people from all backgrounds to optimize their...

...connections. Building positive relationships is essential in engaging a student in academic work. Math can be a tough subject to master, I like helping students see that arithmetic is not so scary. In fact, they can love it like Cady from Mean Girls, because it's the same in every language. When it comes to language...

...channel their strengths in areas where they may not yet excel. I have also worked heavily with ELL students on both academic and cultural understanding, and continue to enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and ages. Every student learns differently, and as a tutor, I create a positive, comfortable learning environment and address...

...one on one with students which allows me to really assess each student's needs and plan each lesson to their specific needs. When I am not tutoring I enjoy exercising, especially kickboxing. I love to travel and meet people from all over the world. I also enjoy reading and spending time with friends.

...mine was, but I don't believe that learning should be a struggle. Going to school builds an academic base for your future and it sets you up for the way you will live the rest of your life. But learning doesn't have to be a chore. I believe that, with a positive attitude and a...

...script analysis, design, performance and theatre history. I absolutely love to teach Shakespeare, and I have years of experience performing and bringing his texts to life in an understandable and entertaining way, so let's dive right in! In my spare time, I love playing guitar and mandolin, hiking, biking, and baking sourdough bread. To this...

...a new path for myself in the virtual classroom so that I could focus on engaging with young people on topics that I care deeply about: language and literature. Over the course of my career, I have worked with students from all walks of life and delight in the exchange of ideas and culture that...

...your subject relates to individuals. You can see growth up close, and the success of your students is a wonderful thing. That's why I like tutoring so much. When I'm not tutoring, teaching, or reading (a huge hobby of mine), I try to be outdoors. I love mountains and hiking. Since Illinois lacks mountains, I try...

...I have an informal and practical teaching style; I like to engage my students with real life examples which brings topics to life and help students apply context to their theoretical learning. I am very approachable, fun and there is never a silly question. As a tutor I provide a genuine degree of care, understanding...

...am very familiar with how Spanish is taught in a classroom. Additionally, I have several months of experience tutoring in classrooms (especially middle school reading), and also have some experience tutoring the US naturalization test. I hope to complete my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification by June. I am passionate about many...

...an international setting has made me an effective collaborator. The opportunity to develop instructional units with colleagues from diverse backgrounds has informed my own understanding and guided my growth as an educator. By remaining open to new ideas, I've been able to introduce meaningful coding and technology initiatives into the classroom, and to successfully implement...

...over the world. I am currently working on my Master's degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English and plan to eventually teach in high schools here in Chicago. Part of what I love about teaching is learning form my students. They might not know it, but I learn as much from them as...

...more time achieving these goals while still getting my "teaching fix". As a Chicago resident for the last two years, I have enjoyed making friends from all walks of life. What I love about Chicago is that it has the opportunity to surprise me at every turn while still maintaining a real Midwestern charm. Universities...

...when the children showed understanding and progress. My third experience was provided by Sylvan Learning Center when I worked as a tutor by focusing on standard core subjects such as mathematics and reading. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach older children as the lessons were more tightly structured so that a better understanding could be...

...intensively. I have a passion for learning languages, and have also studied Spanish and German for several years. In the past I have tutored Chinese students looking to improve their conversational English skills as well as American elementary school students in basic reading and reading comprehension skills. My favorite subject to tutor is reading and...
