I have a master's degree in mathematics and over a decade of in person classroom teaching. I also have a bachelor of science degree with over a years course work in both biology and chemistry. I have hands on experience in these fields from working in both biology and chemistry laboratory settings. I worked as administrator over a home school, teaching students from Kindergarten thru 12 grade, in math, science, and language arts and developing curricular materials. I have found from my teaching experiences that students learn best from active participation in the learning process, and are often encouraged with material that is practical and meaningful. My main goal in working with students who are having problems with a particular subject matter is to simplify the material as much as needed so that a student will get to the root of their difficulties and work from there to obtain a strong foundation of the subject material. I am not rigid in my approach. If a particular manner of subject presentation is not helping a student, I will use a different method to facilitate the learning process.

Let's make learning English, history, psychology, social studies, and executive functioning skills fun! I am here to help you out by making things a bit easier. I am here to back you up with creative solutions.I am currently working on my bachelor degree at Chicago State University; My major is psychology, and my minor is CMAT. (Put on hold currently.)I have experience in working with students who have High Functioning Autism and Autism Type 1.The subjects that I tutor are Psychology, College Level American History, High School Level American History, English and Learning Differences.My favorite subjects to tutor are English, executive functioning, history, psychology, and social studies.

My name is Jeremey Taylor and I am a senior at Chicago State University. I am double majoring in English Media and African American studies and also attended the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have always had a passion for writing and have put a tremendous amount of time into perfecting my craft. Due to the fact that I am also fascinated with history, I have practiced argumentative essays assigned in these classes for over a decade. Throughout my education I have went back to tutor younger individuals from grammar school to college. I was able to tutor kids in multiple subjects at my high school while attending UIC as I was solely put in charge of after school programs. Not only do I have a passion for learning but I also have a passion for teaching. I will continue to pursue my education until I can teach at a collegiate level.

My name is Kelley and I have dedicated my life to teaching special needs students for the past 20 years. It is my belief that all children can learn with the proper structure, motivation and learning techniques. Customizing lessons to meet the needs of my students is what I am all about. If given the opportunity to work with a student, I know that I can bring out the best in them through interesting lessons and learning styles methods.

Greetings. I am a tutor of many subjects and I am passionate about them all, but above all, I am passionate about your success. My primary tutoring subject is Spanish which I have learned at home and abroad. Living in a local Spanish Community has helped as well as traveling to Spain. My expertise is not just teaching Spanish, but teaching how to learn Spanish.

As a Tutor, my motto has always been, "Every student is special and unique in their own way." Therefore, each student learns differently and at their own pace and because of this I sometimes use special education resources to work with some struggling students. I believe every student is a winner!! In the past, as a Tutor for No Child Left Behind Program, I specialized in working with students struggling with phonics or other aspects of reading or comprehension. I reminded them how they can be motivated and conquer any lesson concept. I would always tell them to say like the Little Engine, trying to accomplish going up and over the hill, "I think I Can, I Know I Can." I learned through the years that if a student is motivated and encouraged, they can succeed and the student will try even harder.

I am an experienced social studies and technology teacher, with 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience in grades 6-12 and adult education. I have two masters degrees, one in history (Chicago State University) and another in instructional design (Western Illinois University). I also have my BA in social studies education from Knox College. I have a passion for teaching and have been in online education specifically since 2013, working across all fields in the social sciences as well as general test preparation.

I am an educator with decades of teaching experience ranging from 4th grade through university teaching. I have demonstrated a best practice and research based model for learning that is effective in improving academic achievement at any level. I am interested in tutoring all ages. In the tutoring session, I use a planning backward approach, first identifying the learning target to be accomplished during the session. The second step, we discuss and assess what has already been mastered, and the third step is the teaching and learning process, the tutoring, to achieve the learning target set at the beginning of the session. We will end the session with checking if we hit the set learning target. This model works at every level, from a 3rd grader building reading skills or improving computation skills to a graduate student planning to write a review of the literature for a dissertation. I tutor children of all ages, high school students, undergraduate, and graduate students. My preferred subjects are essay writing, research writing, editing, composition writing, reading skill development, literature studies, history essay writing, application essays, and test prep skill development.

As a graduate from the Professional and Technical Writing Program at Chicago State University, I have become an expert in all aspects of writing and English. While at Chicago State University, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Arts in English, with a specialization in Creative Writing.My education after graduate school consists of a Post-Masters Certificate in Education, focusing on College Teaching. Also, I am expected to graduate in August of 2016 with a PhD in Education and Professional Studies from Capella University.Currently, I hold two state certifications in education: a Language Arts/English teaching license for 5th-12th grade from Indiana and a Substitute Teaching license for K-12th grade students issued by Illinois. I've also successfully passed the Praxis II content area exam for English, Language, and Literature.I have three years of teaching experience, one at the collegiate level and two at the secondary level. I tutor all areas of English and Writing, Social Studies, and Test Preparation. My favorite subject to tutor is Reading. I am intrinsically motivated in my career, and I receive the most satisfaction when students that I serve exhibit growth. Not only do I tutor students, I build confidence in them and motivate them to reach new heights. Students are encouraged to set educational goals, and we execute them together.Outside of work, I am a member of the PhD Sisters Group at Capella University. I enjoy writing poetry, short-stories, and touring the world.

My goal is to both challenge and reward myself tutoring young minds in the maths and sciences. By doing so I believe they will have a better opportunity of success of today's evolving world. From Chicago to Asia, and 8 combined years, I have gained both personal and professional satisfaction in the process. My specialties include mathematics, essay and research writing, biology, as well as teaching students the various test taking skills. I find great pleasure knowing that my experience can be applied to assisting others in their academic achievements, and consequently their success as productive citizens. I believe that learning, via both the classroom and exposure is a lifelong process, and tutoring brings me closer to that belief!

My students would probably describe me as scientifically sound, passionate, energetic, creative, strict and diplomatic. I hold all of my students accountable and expect them to leave my classes understanding their material down to a Cellular and Molecular level.My background is Science, Research, Education and Fashion Design. I graduated with a B.S. (2003) and M.S. (2007) in Molecular, Cellular and Microbial Biology. I completed my thesis in an Immunology lab that focused on the introduction of immunological cells, such as T-Cells, Dendritic Cells and Macrophages. I analyzed my results through many arrays of mRNA and Protein analysis; such as Real-Time PcR, Western Blots, Immunohistochemistry, and FACs Analysis. I then pursued a Ph.D at Northwestern University in 2006. During this time, I published the results of my Prostate Cancer research surrounding Developmental Biology at the Robert H. Lurie Research Center of Children's Memorial Hospital. After leaving the Ph.D. Program, I began teaching Biology courses at C.S.U. This led me back to school to complete a M.A.T. and Secondary Teaching Certificate at National-Louis University. I then taught for Chicago Public Schools from Middle School to Senior Level, alongside of teaching Biology courses for City Colleges of Chicago. After the major turn-around that occurred for CPS in 2013, I decided to expand upon my Fashion Engineering skills and enroll in a Fashion Design Program. I recently completed my B.F.A. in Fashion Design this past March (2016). Fashion Design has led me into designing, drafting and sewing my own collections; along with working for a modern-day, British, shirt-making company focusing on Visuals, Operations and Sales."The unseen threads that link us together sustain our existence, explain our connections, and define our destiny." ~T.s. Douglas, 2016

My reason to become a teacher is to prepare the youth who one day will be the ones running our country in many ways. Providing them with the necessary tools to get there is urgent. It is one of the most pressing needs in terms of USA policies. It is the overall collective work of all teachers to "each one teach one" for eternal effects.I decided long along to give back in the field of education and to this day I have, in the classroom and out. I want to continue with my momentum of providing a quality education to the many students who I will meet.I personally have viewed many students in several geographic, economic and funding areas. As a teacher, no matter the factors it is me who can provide the needs of a student in a classroom setting with lessons to aid them for the future. I had a number of good teachers and many impacted my decision to teach. My motivation is the remainder.As a teacher I want to make a difference in a child's life so they can say "I can and I will." On occasions I would prepare a lesson of someone who made a difference in a child's life even when the odds were against them. The students responded with so much positivity.I taught a class once and was able to teach other than the common subjects because, this was my way of providing another area of life they will surely need. There will come a time in their lives when they will remember what I taught them to help with life decisions in some way.

As a child, I always had an interest in mathematics. I am very proficient in elementary math up to calculus 3. I have a passion for helping people understand mathematics. I am easy to understand, fun to work with and can relate to those who don't understand math by taking the time figuring out their fear and weaknesses in math.

My goal as a tutor, is to help create a comfortable learning space, in which the student and I develop a mutual respect and trust. Furthermore, it is my responsibility to present my instruction in a clear and concise format, based on the unique need of each individual student, to help facilitate confidence and a greater understanding, promoting the students proficiency and success.

I received my education from Roosevelt University. I graduated and received my Master of Arts in Education with a focus on Special Education. After gathering the proper licenses and endorsements, I began teaching math to the general population of students and to students with special needs. I have worked both in online and physical classroom settings. I've been teaching and tutoring for over 15 years and counting. The students that I taught ranged from grade level students in Mathematics to high school level students in Algebra and Geometry. I enjoy helping students achieve to their fullest potential. I enjoy using different strategies to match individual learning styles. I especially enjoy helping students to make connections between what they're learning and their experiences. I have learned that both student and I are on a journey together in becoming life-long learners because with each new student, I learn also! From the student, I learn about new ways to teach and communicate. We should never stop learning. My favorite subject to teach/tutor is Algebra 1 because it is more fun for me to connect the concepts to everyday living. In my leisure, I enjoy reading books or watching movies. I also enjoy roller skating.

I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to get to know many different students from many different walks of life. I feel that tutoring has helped me to grow as a teacher. I get to see what is going on in the classroom from a different point of view. I work hard to make sure my tutor students achieve success. I want them to leave confident that they can succeed in mathematics. I have tutored a number of students for many years and it was a delight to see them change into mature young adults.

I graduated from Georgia Tech majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Pre-teaching , and I just moved to Chicago to attend Chicago State University Pharmacy School. I have been tutoring a lot of students [K-12] in various subjects for more than ten years.

I believe in students being able to accomplish any task or challenge demanded of them if they are willing to do said task. Why do I believe my statement? Because I have experienced my students accepting and accomplishing the tasks/challenges set before them. Every class, every year. Your willingness to work hard and never give up is what will make you the person you want to be.

I received my B.S. degree in Chemistry in 2000, from Chicago State University. I want to tutor in Basic Mathmatics ans Science. I worked in Chemistry from 1995 to 2009. After that I followed my passion for automobiles(they are more similar than people think). I worked as a repairer until 2017. I was a substitute Teacher in Illinois from 2001-2005. I am, at present, an active Substitute teacher in Georgia. I want to spend the rest of my working life helping others realize their opportunities for success. I did begin a post-bac teacher certification program at Chicago State University. Completing that is my next goal.I believe everyone can understand math and science. While I was in college, I worked a full time job. I would run into many rodblocks, and there would be no clear solutions. I would be very frustrated if I didn't understand the subject, and, a lot of times, there was no one there to help me. The key is to keep trying and don't give up. Mostly, don't be afraid to ask a question. And if you don't get an answer, ask someone else.I believe patience and attentiveness will be my most important tools in helping others succeed.
