Hi there! My name is Brittney and I'm a graduate of Princeton University (2009), with a degree in Comparative Literature. I'll be receiving my masters degree in English from Grand Valley State University this fall and I'm looking forward to working with students like you! I've been teaching and tutoring students since 2008 and I specialize in English, Reading, Writing, Essays, and College Entrance Test Prep.

I am French and I've been living in the U.S.A for 6 years. I taught French to children for 3 years in an after-school program in Washington state. I moved in Illinois a few months ago and I would love to continue teaching French. I hold a substitute license from IL state and I am currently enrolled at National Louis University to get my full teaching license for middle/secondary education. Besides teaching, I love spending time with my 2 children, I also enjoy arts and crafts, reading, baking, walking and traveling!

I enjoy the one-on-one tutoring sessions because it provides a safe environment to learn. I break the sessions into small learning increments to motivate and engage the student. I believe this teaching strategy encourages independent learning and students want to come back to the next session.

For the past two decades I have dedicated my time, my efforts, and my research to improving the learning experiences for elementary aged children. I have also assisted high school students in their writing so they are better prepared when they enter college. I believe education can be empowering and can elevate individuals as high as they want to go. I spent 15 years as an elementary school teacher, 6 years as an adult education teacher, and for the past year and a half I have taught pre-service teachers at the collegiate level. I am an experienced educator who uses this experience coupled with research to provide students with the best options needed to help improve their status as a student. I am currently working on my doctorate in curriculum and instruction, continuing to find the best ways to better the learning experience for students.

I received my BA in Philosophy in June of 2020 from DePaul University and am currently attending the University of Michigan Law School. I have been tutoring college students in writing, rhetoric, and argumentative strategies for three years at DePaul's Writing Center and have independently worked with high school english students from local Chicago prep schools. I love tutoring because I think that all people are able to benefit from collaborative learning and thinking. I tutor in writing, english, and law school prep materials (LSAT, personal statement writing, application advice, etc.).My favorite subject is anything related to writing because I believe that writing is such a personal and creative outlet, no matter the subject!

Hello! My name is Steven Plater and I currently serve as the Music Teacher at Southside Elementary School in Miami, Florida. I am an enthusiastic and dedicated educator/tutor who has experience working with learners as early as Pre-K to adults. The key to success is to never stop learning, therefore I continue to seek professional development to stay abreast with today's educational trends.

I am a graduate of Albright College where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a co-concentration in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. While at Albright, I was deeply involved with Academic Learning Center's tutoring program. I accumulated over 500 hours tutoring my peers in their college Math courses. I tutored mainly Calculus, but I also had the opportunity to train and mentor other new tutors. I helped them learn the importance of study skills, learning styles, and communication so they could more effectively help the students they tutored. Math has always been my favorite subject to tutor because I love helping students build their foundation in whatever course they are taking to help them be successful. I have always been fascinated by the way different topics in Math are intertwined. In my spare time, I love to do all types of crafts, especially knitting. I also enjoy baking decorative cakes and cupcakes and reading.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor Classical Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington, and after teaching high school English for three years, I earned a Master of Arts in English from the University of Dallas. During and after earning my MA, I tutored in a community college writing center and taught credit and non-credit college English classes. I recently returned from South Korea, where I taught ESL classes to a wide range of students, elementary-aged to adult. I have experience teaching in both classroom and private settings, and I delight in helping students reach their goals and find their voices in order to better express themselves in both speaking and writing.

I am a bio-medical engineering student with a minor in mathematics at Arizona State University. I absolutely love science and mathematics and look for any opportunity to help others to understand why these subjects fascinate me. I am currently in my senior year at ASU; I have a 3.96 GPA, and I am married with two young boys. For the past two years I have been working for the University Academic Success Program at ASU helping students excel in math, physics, and chemistry. Those I tutor come from a diverse background and often require assistance with advanced topics within the aforementioned subjects. Prior to starting my academic path, I spent 8 years in the Army. Half of my military career was spent as an air defense coordinator, and the other half as a respiratory therapist. I have a very broad set of skills and life lessons that I fall back on when I tutor. In my youth I was disinterested in education, and I joined the military when I was 19 because my grades did not leave me with many other options. The Army gave me the opportunity to rethink how I look at the world. I want students, especially young students struggling to find meaning in what they are doing in school, to grasp the impact that education can have in their lives if they embrace it.

Hi,My name is Abbey Bannon and I am a first grade teacher. I have been teaching first grade for 19 years and love it. I especially love teaching reading - using up to date research techniques following the science of reading. I do enjoy making math fun and hands on as well. I am a mom to a 13 year old girl and 7 year old boy, so I have more than a few management and engagement techniques up my sleeve. I am looking forward to working with you and your child!
