...dream by attending the University of Notre Dame. There I majored in Classics and Pre-Professional Studies.

...a considerable amount of time teaching technology - in a sense - through a customer service job at a big cell-phone company. I taught 5th grade in Chicago Public Schools, worked as a substitute teacher in CPS, and finally moved into a middle-school science and reading position in the northwest suburbs, where I recently began my 10th year as a classroom teacher. I love to teach, and I think that my teaching experience is diverse...

I am interested in tutoring students at all levels in English (reading, writing, literature, and grammar), including English as a foreign language, and helping middle school and high school students with Algebra I as well. I have 31 years of experience teaching English and ESL in four US states, the Czech Republic, Oman, and Morocco. ... I help students to become independent learners by resisting the temptation of too many leading questions and occasionally giving them tests which they need to complete completely independently. Also, after explaining a new concept and then leading them through a couple of questions, I sit back to let them complete questions on their own. Until the student can do the question without my help, they have not mastered the skill.

I think anyone can understand chemistry with the right explanations and effort. I am always eager to help someone understand concepts that are foreign to them because I love seeing them have an "Ah-ha!" moment and experiencing that moment myself as an everyday learner. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to music,...

...and experiences make me a fit candidate for tutoring elementary students and teens. In 2013, I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a BS in Education.

I also started an after-school volleyball training for...

...me and in a short time, the results were showing in my grades. I feel that each student must approach academics in a unique way that caters to his or her learning style as well as one that is appropriate for the subject. Once the preferred study style has been identified, it makes for a much more efficient process, and creates an environment in which the student will excel. With my firsthand experience of using...

I have been studying Chemistry since 1993 when I declared it my major. Since then I have obtained a doctorate in the subject and have been working as a professional chemist in research and development. I may actually like teaching Chemistry more than I like practicing it and that is saying a lot! Looking forward to working with students at all levels!

...shifts every day and help students in my residential hall who needed help on their homework or help studying for tests. In addition, I was a part of the school's PROMISE program that helped to foster interest in math and science among underprivileged and economically disadvantaged middle school students.
