Christine
Licensed teacher specializing in reading, math and writing!
Before I became a teacher, I was a lawyer for 15 years. I had fun arguing with other lawyers and cross-examining witnesses, but I decided to evolve after my son was born. He struggled with a few issues in elementary school and it was there that I realized how powerful teaching, and thoughtful, targeted intervention, can be. I went back to school, earned my Master's Degree in Education, and am now a licensed teacher! I love problem solving, thinking outside the box, and having fun while te... Read more

Diana
I am a kindergarten teacher and have my Reading Specialist.
I am currently tutoring a first grade student. When I tutor a student, I like to use hands on materials to allow them to use their sense of hearing, sight, and touch. The reason that I love to tutor is the fact that it allows me to see growth in the students I work with. It also allows me to get to know them and adjust the materials I use to fit their individual needs. I am currently a kindergarten teacher but I have worked with students at all age levels through tutoring, girl scout ... Read more

Jonathan
Tutor in History, Government, and Music
I started off college as a Music Education major, but soon realized that my true passion lies in politics and the law. I changed my major to Political Science and graduated this past December. Once I changed majors I immediately sought out a vast array of opportunities in order to get as much experience as possible. I studied abroad for a semester at the University of Westminster in London, England, where I took classes in both history and politics, one class focusing on political gaming w... Read more
Nancy
Nancy Mokena, IL
I began substitute teaching in 1991. I did this for 13 years, substitute teaching in grades K-8. In 2002, I returned to school and obtained my Masters in Elementary Education in 2004. Later that same year I was hired to teach second grade and did this up until this past year. I loved teaching but am now at the stage of my life where I would rather be employed at a part-time basis. While teaching full-time, I also tutored students during the summer months. I loved tutoring as I did this on a ... Read more

Carrie
My named is Carrie. I currently work at a special needs school. I enjoy working with students to make learning fun for them. I like to have fun while teaching, especially math since it can be boring. I'm currently getting my master's in special education as well as math. Math has always been my favorite subject. Algebra would by far be my favorite out of all the math classes. I have tutored before and brought a girl who was failing up to an A with lots of practice.... Read more
Kathleen
Retired Spanish/French Teacher
I am recently retired after 33 years of teaching Spanish-beginning and intermediate levels. I would like to keep current in my languages by helping those students who are struggling. I enjoy working with high school level students since I taught grades 9-12. I am enthusiastic and a good listener. I try to find the best way to teach each student. I am schooled in the meta cognitive method of language instruction; I build on a secure foundation of knowledge and progress from there. I also li... Read more
