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

Anthony

Nationally Board Certified Educator looking to support students

I have been lucky enough to teach and lead in three strong school/districts, with experiences at St. Rita, Metea Valley, and Carl Sandburg High School. Some of my best experiences have been in individual and small group tutoring settings, as they afford me the opportunity to get to know student learning needs on a more individual basis. Many of my best "success" stories are students who needed such tutoring and, through their hard work, were able to achieve their academic goals. My current... Read more


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

Rachel

Reading, Writing, English, Language Arts

For some students, it's difficult to retain information learned in a classroom setting-that's why I'm here. One-on-one attention during sessions specifically taught in their learning style makes my tutoring unique. That tailoring allows us to spend more time engaged and focused on mastering academic goals. I have a bachelor’s degree in English with an emphasis in Language Arts, which required successful completion of coursework to teach reading, writing and children’s literature. My e... Read more

Paige

Developing the Differrentiated Learner!

I love math, and have enjoyed teaching it to students who need help. I understand that math can be complicated, and it is not something you get right away. I believe with practice and skill one can be better able to understand it. I know this because I also grew up not liking math but, ironically, ended up teaching it. I have taught Math for the past 4 years in one of the lowest performing schools in the city of Chicago. However, due to my professional development as a Math educator I was abl... Read more
