Award-Winning French Tutors serving Des Plaines, IL

...with my students. In my experience students 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,...

...love of people to aid families and organizations, adding a stabilizing, detail-oriented, and loving presence to students' academic and personal lives. In terms of my own education, I earned a bachelor's degree in Philosophy, minoring in Teacher Education in Cinema Studies, from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign after a four-year full scholarship. I remained a frequent Dean's List student. It is irrefutable fact that a guided boost in language, literacy, and cultural education can expand...

...am also currently a research volunteer at Loyola University Medical Center. I have tutored four students through my high school years, with subjects ranging from math and physics to SAT Test Prep. My favorite subjects to tutor are physics and English, which might seem like an odd combination, but they are more similar than one might think. I love learning and inspiring others to love learning as well. My goal is not only to help,...

...sociology. In the upcoming fall, I will be attending UIC's Jane Addams College of Social Work where I will be work to earn an MSW in the mental health specialization. My goal is to one day become an licensed clinical social worker and work as a therapist. The subjects I can tutor in are clinical psychology, IB psychology, english, american literature, high school american literature, high school writing, middle school reading, middle school writing, middle...

...camp for youth in Jordan. I am most passionate about English, Literature, and working with elementary and middle school students. In my experience working with young students, we always seem to have the best progress in English language and literature. I try to keep things exciting and casual for my students so they feel comfortable and confident with the material they are working on. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, cooking, and traveling...

...act as a facilitator, using direct instruction when needed. Rather than regurgitating information, I hope that students will be able to understand the core concepts of the lesson at hand. This reasoning is why I especially enjoy teaching literature and reading, because once one has those foundational tools, they can apply it to almost any discipline or subject. Understanding critical thinking and problem solving are lessons that are applicable to everyday life. Outside of academics...

...background spans elite classrooms and enrichment programs alike: I've taught in college-preparatory high schools, developed curriculum for national nonprofits, and designed one-on-one tutoring plans for students ranging from advanced learners to those seeking targeted support. I bring a calm, structured, and student-centered approach to every sessionhelping students build confidence, sharpen their critical thinking, and reach ambitious academic goals. Whether your child is preparing for a top university or looking to deepen their academic engagement, I...

...high school to help failing students graduate on time, and had three years of tutoring through that organization. Additionally, I have been volunteering for one year now at the local Boys and Girls Club in my college town, and provide on-demand tutoring to the children there. I am comfortable working with all ages. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with you in the future!

...study and homework habits that fit them rather than imposing my favorite ways upon them, though I will share any advice I have. Outside of school, I enjoy running, baking,, reading (from books like Harry Potter to Erasure) and exploring nature. Having lived in Salt Lake, I grew up with the outdoors as my main entertainment, though moving to Chicago has definitely increased my appreciation for the opportunities in a big city.

I am a first year Master's student in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago. I am passionate about teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), as well as working with elementary- and middle-school students in general. I am proficient in French and Turkish.

...teaching I enjoy being a student as well. Currently, I am trying to learn both French and Spanish and every month I try to read a book about a completely new subject. On my free time - oh wait I have no free time (LOL). That's right, I'm a bit of a workaholic so that means that my schedule is full at all times. I recognize that time is of the essence and therefore I...

...rewarding it is to approach one's studies in the right way. For my part, I like to keep things light but productive; I find that students learn the best when they're having fun and when their studies highlight the aspects of the work that they're interested in. Myriad studies have correlated interest and academic performance, but just anecdotally it's important to approach school in a way that builds a foundation, whether that's for further schooling...

...trails to make sure everyone is safe and accounted for. Regardless of what I'm doing on any given day, one of the key components of my job is the ability to understand, paraphrase, and communicate complicated concepts to the public. Combined with my personal experience in coaching youth volleyball and serving as an interpreter for the US Forest Service last year, I have found I'm able to explain ideas well to people regardless of their...

I look forward to see my students get from the point of being lost to the uh-huh moment. I specialize in math based subjects where I enjoy to see how simple math and in some cases - a little complex :) can solve world problems from economics to engineering , etc. I believe that once students realize the application of math in real life, they will strive to become excellent in the subject.

...learning where I learn as much as you do. With my special interest in the subjects of English (Language/ESL/lexical content, grammar content) Reading Comprehension, Phonics, Essay Conducting, and Spanish fluency (speaking, writing, reading & grammar content) experience, and your enthusiasm to strengthen your education we both can successfully enhance our knowledge into a significant perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing to Latin rhythms, traveling the world, learning new languages and enlightening others of...

...Studies: TESOL with a minor in French at Toccoa Falls College. I have been a teacher for 17 years, teaching in many different countries. I have taught people of all ages and I love teaching language and literature. I believe that it is most important to make learning fun and engaging. I always make sure the lesson is student centered. Students have a choice and their opinions are important. I enjoy traveling and learning about...

...2017. Most of my assignments during my undergraduate experience were essay- or presentation-based, but I also have taken math classes up through multivariable calculus. I have taken the ACT, SAT, PSAT, and GMAT multiple times and have a firm grasp on those tests. I like to teach in the exact same way I learn, by getting to the root of an idea, problem, etc. If you memorize a formula or a grammatical rule, you can...

...in reading, writing, and math through 826CHI's After School Tutoring and Writing Project. I am also a writer and editor, and writing is one of my favorite subjects to tutor because I love helping students master the craft themselves and seeing their writing improve. I believe in working very interactively with students in order to help them discover ways to solve new problems on their own and improve their methods for and interest in learning.
