As an PhD student in a biomedical sciences program, I am deeply passionate about biology and chemistry, supported by my Master's degree in Biotechnology and Bachelor's degree in Biology. With over a year of experience as a substitute teacher across K-12, I have developed a tailored teaching approach that accommodates diverse learning styles, particularly for middle school students. I thrive in creating interactive and engaging lessons, drawing on my background in STEM education, which includes teaching coding and environmental science. My goal is to foster a supportive learning environment where students can connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, such as understanding the vital roles of proteins in biological processes. I believe that with patience and clarity, every student can achieve academic success, and I look forward to inspiring the next generation of scientists.

I am a current third grade dual language teacher and I absolutely adore teaching language. I am a native speaker of English and Spanish is my second language. Therefore, I can tutor literacy in either language and would be thrilled to help any student beginning to learn English or Spanish. I could assist with grammar, creative writing, building vocabulary, reading strategies, or any other topic under the umbrella of literacy.

I have been a high school English teacher for 2 1/2 years. Education was always a passion of mine and I became a teacher because I believe that the quality of a young person's education is the strongest tool they have to build success and happiness later in life. I love introducing students to a novel and showing them how much they can learn from it.I have also spent my last three summers tutoring for a company that specializes in building decoding and comprehension skills for struggling students. Working with this company allowed me to teach kids from kindergarten through high school.Before teaching I worked in advertising sales. I enjoyed the social aspect of this job; basically my success was rooted in how well I was able to communicate my position to my clients and together we put together advertising campaigns that communicated a certain message to their buyers. All my life I have been interested in how we as human beings communicate with each other and understand each other. How we do this has become increasingly complex and I find it rewarding and fun to teach this to young people.I love all manner of creative pursuits. I began designing jewelry about 4 years ago and I do this as a hobby for myself and friends. Anytime I can find something in my house to sand down and repaint or refinish I take on the project as well. I love learning and expressing myself creatively because it forces me to look at things in a new way and create something that simply wasn't there before.I also like to build creativity in the classroom (or tutoring session) since creative thinking is the root of good problem solving skills.I love teaching, I love creating new lessons and the experience of being able to show someone something new about the world is about the most fun and rewarding thing I've ever done with my life.

I believe that everyone can learn, provided the teacher finds the proper channel through which to reach the students.I was born in Martinique, raised in Paris where I studied latin, Greek and philosophy. I have a DUEL from University of Paris X/Nanterre. I later moved to New York City and Chicago where I obtained a Bachelors in jazz Performance/Upright bass. I also graduated from DePaul University with a Masters in Education and from Vandercook College of Music with a Masters in Music Education. I have taught music in the chicago Public school system, as well as tutoring students of all ages in French, since it is my native language. I do miss speaking my language and I am still an avid reader of French literature, be it the classic or the most recent literature of the francophone world: Africa and the Caribbean.I am passionate about sharing my language and my culture and hope I can share this passion.

My goal is to help students cultivate their strengths and find areas of improvement in a safe, affirming environment to nourish their musical and academic gifts.I started my music career playing in the local Chicago punk scene at age 16. After a few years of recording, touring, and writing, I decided to pursue a degree in opera. I spent my first two years of undergrad performing in operas, symphony concerts, and musicals when I felt called to turn my career towards the academy.I was accepted into the honors college and began thesis work on the aesthetic correlations between architect, Frank Lloyd Wright and composer, Ludwig van Beethoven.After being admitted into a research fellowship and pursuing research grants, I applied to Masters and PhD programs in musicology. Music has always been my passion but now, I am able to capitalize on my strengths and interests while still pursing a career in music.Along with my current research, I still sing professional and play as a studio musician in punk, folk, jazz, and metal.My experience allows me to bring the knowledge I have gained from performing and coursework to the classroom with interdisciplinary teaching methods and collaborative approaches. I hope I am able to work with you or your student to cultivate their passion for the arts.

I began my love for teaching at an early age when I myself when I found a teacher in college that, no matter what, would not let me fail. I wanted to be just like him. I began working with children from different backgrounds and cultures and grew a passion for social-emotional learning. I teach with a gentle and encouraging hand and will be with you every step of the way!

Hi! My background includes a Bachelor's degree in English from Roosevelt University, and a Master's degree in Writing and Publishing from DePaul University. In late 2019, I had the opportunity to work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the College of Lake County (for an English Composition I class). I also had the honor and privilege of working as a Peer Writing Tutor for DePaul University's Writing Center. I collaborated with both Undergraduate and Graduate students of all studies/disciplines on any writing-based projects, both personal and academic. I provided writing support to clients with the goal of helping them become even more successful writers in school and beyond. Currently, I am working as tutor in a freelance capacity. Over the past year, I have worked with dozens of students on the following platforms: Tutor.com, TutorMe and Smarthinking. I helped clients with brainstorming writing ideas, providing sources, improving writing quality, and developing argumentation skills.I firmly believe that learning should be fun. Nothing motivates learners as much as fun does because it comes from genuine interest from within instead of pressure from others. Students are much more likely to invest extra time in the learning process if they enjoy it.

I believe in the power of patient and passionate educators such as myself to inspire, challenge, and invigorate pupils to conquer new academic horizons, thus increasing any individual pupil's chances for success down their own chosen paths of study or within the profession of their choosing. I believe that humility and respect on my part create an environment where learning can happen on both sides of the tutor/pupil relationship, and through said humility and open-mindedness an ideal educational bond will inevitably form.I am ready to listen to your individual academic needs (or those of your child), and my expertise in Reading, Writing, Spanish and Literature, cultivated over a rigorous academic career, renders me an ideal candidate to help YOU with whatever you might need. I have no preconceived agenda other than listening to your specific needs (or those of your child), and catering to those needs with all the tools in my academic tool-box.I am incredibly hard-working, diligent, and thorough, but most of all I believe in the student's ability to expand his or her own horizons when presented with the environment and opportunity to do so. Therein lies the pupil's power, and I guarantee, with my help, improvement in the subject with which you or your child are struggling within a few sessions.If academic success is what you seek, look no further for the ideal candidate to help you or your child along that journey. I am that candidate. Thanks for taking the time to read my statement, and I hope to work closely with you or your child soon.

With Master's in Biotechnology and Chemical Science, I am passionate about fostering a deep understanding of complex subjects like Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, biotechnology, and math. Although I have experience in tutoring and classroom settings, I approach each session with a fresh perspective, focusing on creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring challenging concepts. My goal is to empower students to develop critical thinking skills and build confidence in their abilities. I believe that the best learning occurs when students can relate the material to real-world applications, and I strive to make connections that resonate with their interests. I am excited to guide students on their academic journeys and help them achieve their individual goals.
