I have always enjoyed helping others understand class material especially math. I was frequently called upon to help my friends and classmates in high school. That is where I made the decision to become a teacher. Both my parents were teachers so, you could say, I am fulfilling the legacy. I am currently working towards a bachelors degree in middle level education at Illinois State University. Apart of my degree, I will receive certifications to teach science and mathematics at grades 5-8. I have been working with students throughout my time in college both large and small groups, as well as individual tutoring of 5th grade students. I do have a focus on the middle age range but I can help with any high school math and even into college level math. When tutoring, I find it important to really get to know the person's experiences so I can relate the material to them. Outside of academics, I love movies and TV shows. I am a huge country music fan.

I am passionate about helping students because I believe in the transformative power of education. I understand the struggles and frustrations that can arise when trying to understand complex concepts or juggling multiple responsibilities. This empathy drives me to support students in overcoming obstacles, providing guidance, and sharing strategies that have helped me succeed. Witnessing the growth and confidence of myself and my peers as they conquer academic hurdles fuels my dedication to serving as a mentor and resource for others on their educational journey. Throughout my college years, I've actively engaged in tutoring and mentoring roles, both informally within my peer group and formally through workplaces. These experiences have equipped me with valuable insights into the diverse learning styles and needs of students. Whether it's explaining a challenging concept in a clear and accessible manner or offering encouragement during moments of doubt, I've honed my ability to connect with students and foster an environment conducive to learning and growth. My passion for helping students extends beyond the classroom, as I've also volunteered in community outreach programs aimed at providing educational support to underserved populations, further solidifying my commitment to making a positive impact through education. I continue to pursue my education at ISU, where I am obtaining my Bachelor's Degree. Currently, I am working towards my Elementary Education degree with endorsements in reading, math, and special education. In my tutoring experiences, I offer support across a range of subjects, including Reading, Math, drawing, and more. My all-time favorite subject is reading. There's a sense of fulfillment in guiding students through these subjects, as they often align closely with my own interests and areas of expertise. By sharing my enthusiasm and deep understanding of these topics, I strive to instill a similar passion in my students, fostering a lifelong love for learning and exploration.

I am a veteran educator and a believer that all children can learn given the proper support and services. I spent most of my teaching and administrative experience in urban schools.During my educational career I have been able to connect and collaborate with educators globally.Most of my career has been advocating for children in the areas of special education, behavioral issues, and mental health.A passionate advocate for children in trauma and children experiencing mental health issues, I am author of three books geared for elementary children and loves helping children sort out their feelings. The books incorporate emotional health as well as social and emotional learning concepts with the goal of empowering children to freely and effectively communicate their thoughts and emotions.

Hi there. I have a Bachelors in elementary education and am endorsed in special education, math, science, social science, and language arts. I hold a Learning Behavior Specialists degree (LBS1). Currently, I teach 3rd-5th grade special education in Gurnee School District 56. It is my second year here and I work with students who have learning disabilities as well as behavioral/ emotional disabilities. Prior to that, I taught a reading intervention program in Waukegan for middle schoolers. I was an aide in Deerfield School district for students with severe autism in a Life Skills classroom for 2.5 years. I student taught in a 2nd grade placement, followed by a 4th grade placement in Buffalo Grove. I have tutored before and I love to develop connection and build positive relationships with the students I teach.I have an endorsement in math. I have taken many classes on math theory. More importantly, I currently teach math to special education students and have many techniques and strategies I use to help students to succeed and understand math. I use manipulatives, various application on the IPADS, real life situation, visuals, and many other strategies to encourage and help to develop math skills.I am endorsed in language arts. I love teaching language arts because there is such a wide array of resources available to students. I think reading is the foundation for all other subjects and I am very invested in making sure students have foundational skills to carry. With English, there are many components such as phonics, vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and grammar (to name a few.) Through my experience, I have gained knowledge in how to deliver research-based practices to help children to be good readers.As stated above, I have had over 5 years of teaching experience. I love to work with students and having a special education background really helps me to relate to students who do face learning difficulties. I am patient and responsible. I am reliable and children seem to really trust me. I am also endorsed in multiple subject areas.

I received bachelors degrees in Special Education Learning/Behavior Disorders and Special Education Low Vision/Blindness from Illinois State University in May 2019. Upon graduation I worked as a teacher for 2 years in a self contained vision classroom where I taught all academic areas as well as vision. Presently I am working towards a masters degree in Vision Rehabilitation Therapy.My favorite academic areas to teach were math and language.

I have been teaching Kindergarten and first grade for the past 12 years. I have also been a one on and one and small group tutor for the past 12 years. I have helped students with reading skills, phonics, and primary math skills.

I love being a part of the learning process and enjoy finding new ways to explain things!

I have a Bachelor's in French and Theatre and a Master's degree in French, both from Illinois State university. I held a teaching assistantship during my Master's studies for which I taught a French class at the university. During the summers I worked in the French language-immersion camp. While in college I did a study abroad program in France and after finishing my Master's I lived and worked in France for a year teaching English in schools. The majority of my experience has been teaching languages, and although I can teach other subjects, languages and culture are what I truly have a passion for.Through my various experiences, I have taught languages to students ages 4-18 and above, have taught in a classic classroom environment with all the latest technological aides, and taught outdoors through activities, games, and music.I believe that each student is unique and has their own learning style, which is why it can be tough for many students to thrive solely through learning in a typical classroom environment. Tutoring offers a more focused, individualized atmosphere which enables the tutor to tailor the lessons to the student for them to have an optimal learning experience. I have found that the best results happen when language, or any subject for that matter, is taught through a variety of different activities that are interactive and engaging.Outside of teaching and learning languages, my interests and hobbies include theatre, music/singing, reading, watching TV and movies, travel, fashion, and spending time with my friends and family. I also enjoy challenges and new experiences.

I recently graduated from the University of Southern California with my Master's in Molecular Biology. I am currently working as a Biology Lab and Lecture Instructor. I have several years of experience as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and Instructor of Biology. As a Teaching Assistant, I learned how to command a room full of students and make learning interesting and fun. As a Research Assistant I have learned how to work well with others in addition to being proactive and organized with my day-to-day responsibilities.During my time as an Instructor, I have gained valuable qualities that I plan to incorporate into my teaching career. I have learned that motivating students to learn on their own as well as in class, through reward based incentives, helps them to absorb and retain the material.I often offer students extra credit questions on previously missed exam questions. This technique allows for the student to strive for more points, allows them to fix mistakes they may have already made, and they can take a second look at the material. I believe that if you give students all of the necessary tools and encourage them, success is sure to follow.As an undergraduate student, I participated in the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program. As a graduate student, I participated in the Genomics Graduate Scholars Program. These organizations have bettered me as a Scientist and given me the insight that encouragement and education are necessary and should be open to all groups.My unique background and teaching style shows that I am hard working and dedicated to not only learning new and interesting things, but to share them with others.

Certified Special Education Teacher with background in teaching and tutoring elementary and high school students. Highly experienced in working with students that have learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, or other special education needs. Versed in English Language Arts (ELA) concepts, instruction and tutoring. Ability to provide high-quality, one-on-one instruction in the subjects: Mathematics, English Literature and Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science.

When I was in high school, I remember seeing the joy of my math teachers when they would teach in class. This inspired me to become a high school math teacher. The first step was becoming a peer tutor to my classmates. This lead to tutoring math to college students. Then tutoring students while working as a TA. Then I worked as a data scientist which not only did I understand more how to apply math in the workspace, but also learned how to explain math concepts to coworkers without a strong math background. This helped me to shape my tutoring philosophy to relate to the person being tutored and this opened the door to me teaching high school calculus 1 & calculus 2!

Hi, I'm Faithe (pronounced Faith), and I've been writing pretty much my whole life. I have a Masters degree in English Rhetoric and Composition, and while I was in graduate school at Purdue I taught freshman writing classes and business writing. After I finished school, I started in on a 40 year career as a book editor and technical writer, and I wrote over 160 books about computer programs, including lots of "For Dummies" books. Look me up on Amazon! I've also written many online technology courses and certification guides. As you might guess, technical writing is my specialty and passion, and I especially love working with students learning that craft. My other area of expertise is Microsoft Office applications. I've written dozens of how-to books over the years about Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access, and I'd be glad to help you with the thorniest of issues with these applications.

Education is my life's work, and I impress upon others that it is critical for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all my students.I enjoy hiking, collecting rocks, geocaching, and flying drones to produce aerial photos and videos. I have two students in college on the west coast.I look forward to working with you and finding out more about your needs.

I am a recipient of Who's Who Among America's teaching award. I love tutoring students so I can get to know them and help them improve skills in reading and math. I have been tutoring students for the last seventeen years. I have also done home-bound tutoring for students with special needs. I have been a special education teacher and love working one to one or in small groups with students I tutor. I have a Bachelor's degree in Special Education from Illinois State University, a Graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University, and another Advanced Graduate degree from Northern Illinois University as a Reading Specialist. I enjoy tutoring in writing and math, but my passion is tutoring in reading because I struggled with learning how to read when I was in school. I am passionate about helping my students improve writing, math, and reading because I struggled in school with those subjects.

I've wanted to be a teacher since I was in high school because I want to help others achieve their academic goals as I have, and I've found that tutoring is a great way of doing this as well! I've worked as a developmental mathematics tutor at Illinois State University for one and a half years where I help college students succeed in pre-algebra and algebra courses. I've also worked as a private tutor for college algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus. I'm currently a senior at Illinois State University studying secondary mathematics education and K-12 computer science education, and I am participating in a year-long student teaching internship at Normal West High School in Bloomington-Normal Illinois. As an educator and a tutor, I believe that mathematics is best taught through exploration and problem-solving, where students are encouraged to learn mathematics by solving and reasoning through problems.

About ten years ago I decided to enter the teaching profession, and I have come to absolutely love it. I really like working with young people, not least because they intuitively understand as I do that learning should be fun and that few great things are accomplished without a laugh or two along the way; ultimately, however, it is about learning and personal growth, and nothing I have ever done professionally comes close to the satisfaction I feel when a student describes a goal, works toward that goal, and then achieves it. I believe passionately in the power of learning to bring understanding, happiness and efficacy to every individual, and I know that any student, any where, when given the proper support, can achieve all of those rewards.

Empowering students to steer destiny in the direction of their choice is my challenge as an educator.A well oiled classroom is imperative when you're in charge of 30+ students. The downside, however, is that some of those students will slip through the cracks if they are not given enough attention. Upon earning my degree in English Education at Illinois State University, I realized after my first year of teaching that most students in Chicago Public Schools were reading at least two grades below grade level.Thats when I decided to pursue a Masters in Reading to address the problem. I tutored K12 (all subjects) for three years to master the methodology I gleaned from professors before returning to the classroom. Since teaching is an art, I consider my instructional philosophy to be versatility in motion because learning styles and progress vary accordingly. Indeed, if I hadn't had the passion to empower students to be more than they thought they could be, I wouldn't have been surrounded by priceless smiles that kept me coming back.

I have been in education for 17 years and hold multiple degrees from Illinois State, Aurora and National-Louis Universities. I am endorsed in elementary general education, as well as Special Education and Reading at the K-12 levels. I find the greatest student success when I work with the student to create custom and fun learning opportunities that meet their individual needs and style of learning.

I graduated this past May from Illinois State University with a degree in Elementary Education. I have experience working with students from kindergarten through eighth grade. I am specifically endorsed in reading, language arts, and social studies. I will soon be endorsed in science as well. I enjoy tutoring because of the one-on-one interaction that does not occur as frequently in a classroom setting. I am very passionate about teaching and have a lot of new ideas to bring to tutoring sessions. When I am not tutoring you can find me working as a camp counselor or at home going for a bike ride with my siblings. I am excited to meet my students and am anxious to begin!

I have taught in the elementary classroom for nearly 20 years. My favorite subject to teach is math. I have tutored math students from Kindergarten through 5th grade. I love seeing students gain understanding and often realize how much fun math can be. Math is a real life skill that everyone will use for their entire life. I hope to make relevant connections for my students between math and the real world.

Hello! I am a former teacher that has taught a multitude of subjects K-12! I specialize in Health, K-5 math, ACT, and Algebra. I have bachelor's and Master's degree in education and I am looking forward to working with you!

I have a passion for working with and helping students be successful. I have spent the last 11 years working with mostly middle school students, teaching Math. I earned my Bachelors degree from Illinois State University, my Masters degree from Concordia University, and I am a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. I tutor Math for many different ages. My goal is to help make math easier for students and help them learn to persevere and problems solve when they come across difficult problems. I always try to relate the math to something that my students are interested in to help make the concept as easy as possible.

I attended both Lewis University and Moraine Valley Community College before earning my degrees at Illinois State University. I have a B.S. in English and a Master of Science Degree in Writing with a focus on Teaching Composition at the Community College Level. I have taught Composition at Western Illinois University, South Suburban College and the University of St. Francis. I have taught as a substitute teacher, and as a Tour Guide at ButterPrint farm in Monee, Illinois, I taught students covering the 1910 Museum, the Prairie Tour, and the Nature Museum. Whether it involved new automotive technology features or capturing best practices for knowledge-sharing databases, I have always been passionate about teaching others. Subjects I especially excel in are Language Arts/Writing, History, and Math. In my spare time I love to garden and play catch with my son.

I enjoy teaching and tutoring because I enjoy working with kids, and I love to have a part in seeing them do things they weren't able to do before. As a lifelong teacher that has been my reward. I have been teaching for a many years and am certified to teach in elementary, middle and high schools. I prefer working one-on-one or with small groups. When I start getting to know my students I want to know them as the unique persons they are. Then I want to know what learning needs they have so together we can set goals and work on them. When I can I like to use games and give challenges. We have as much fun as we can while making the efforts needed for learning. Kids, parents and I will partner together so we can each do our part so kids can be successful. I have a BA in biology from Augustana College, a MS in Education from Illinois State University and further coursework at Northern Illinois University. Besides teaching in Illinois and California my experience includes years in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. During the last three years I was teaching English online to Chinese students. Subjects I can teach are elementary level subjects, especially math (up to pre-algebra), science, English and reading. I also can teach high school biology. When I'm not teaching I enjoy doing things outdoors, especially camping and fishing. I also like to make music by singing and playing my harmonica.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Industrial/Organizational Psychology at Illinois State University and my Masters in HR from Keller Graduate School of Management/Devry University. I teach English online to people all over the world. In my experience helping people is my purpose. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy journaling which enriches my life, yoga, long walks in the park, and basketball.

I am a certified teacher, counselor, and adjunct professor. I am certified in Social Studies, ESL, Science, Elementary Education, Counseling, and Music! I also have an LPC and NCC in counseling and am certified as an administrator. I believe all students can learn and succeed!

I have Bachelors of Science degree in the area of Education and Special Education from Illinois State University. I have been teaching for over 15 years. In that time I have taught preschool, middle school science, and special education students grades Pre-K through high school. I am very energetic and try to carry over that energy into my teaching. My goal is to create a fun and exciting learning environment for all my students. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my 3 children. We have fun being outside, watching movies, and going on adventures. I look forward to working with your child!

I am passionate about language learning and hope to help others.

I am a graduate of Illinois State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Education and my Master of Arts in Foreign Languages. I also have a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Governors State University. I have traveled to various Spanish speaking countries and loved the experiences. I enjoy working with youth and adults by helping them to broaden their minds learning another language and about the culture of the people. Teaching Spanish has been a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. I believe the higher you can go with your education, the better you are to make yourself more marketable. Learning Spanish is not only fun, and easy, but also beneficial in terms of personal growth, travel, building relationships, and career prospects. Working with students one on one or in groups is rewarding and enjoyable. The goal is to get them to the next level in acquiring the knowledge that they seek. In my spare time I enjoy singing in my church choir, traveling, and spending time with my family.

My name is Erin Dorset, and I am excited about the opportunity to be your next tutor! My educational background and teaching experience collectively make me an excellent tutor. I am a recent graduate of Illinois State University with a Master's degree in Biological Sciences (GPA 4.0), with special interests in ecology and conservation. Before that, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology at SUNY Geneseo (GPA 3.89). I also attended Shenendehowa High School and excelled in all subjects, particularly Science and English. As a graduate student, I taught biology labs for five semesters, which gave me experience in both running a full classroom and in working one-on-one with students. Additionally, as an undergraduate student, I spent a semester as a biology teaching assistant, where I helped coordinate lab activities and answer students' questions. I have also spent time as an assistant coach for a high school cross-country ski team, where I gained the ability to teach students skills outside of a classroom setting. Because I have worked with students with diverse educational and personal backgrounds in a variety of settings, I am well-qualified to be your tutor.I believe that students who are motivated can achieve anything that they set their minds to, and I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students gain confidence in their abilities and achieve their goals. I also believe that many students learn differently from others, which is why I like to personalize lessons as much as possible based on the learning style of the student. I am patient, kind, and enthusiastic, and would love to become your tutor! I tutor students in several subject areas, including: Ecology, Biology, ACT Science, ACT Reading, and ACT English.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Reading and ESL, as well as a Master's degree in Literacy and additional certifications in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Curriculum & Instruction.

My greatest passion lies in helping young learners grow into confident readers and writers. I specialize in phonics, reading, and writing instruction, and I love seeing the moment when a concept "clicks" for a student. Whether building foundational literacy skills or strengthening comprehension and fluency, I tailor my approach to each learner's unique needs and learning style. My tutoring style is warm, patient, and structuredI believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel safe to take risks and build skills at their own pace. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two kids, and our dog. We love biking, hiking, and reading together. These moments keep me grounded and continually remind me of the joy and curiosity I aim to foster in every tutoring session.

I am a graduate of Illinois State University, where I attained my bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education and my master's degree in English Literature with a concentration in Literary and Cultural studies. Currently, I work as an Instructional Assistant Professor for the English Department at Illinois State University. When I was a graduate student, I worked as a Writing Specialist for the Graduate School at ISU, where I tutored graduate students on ways that they could improve their writing for both their classes and for their thesis and dissertations. I also hold a teaching license for grades 9-12 in both Wisconsin and Illinois. After attaining my bachelor's degree, I worked as a high school English teacher in the US for a year and a half. I also worked as a primary and secondary educator at an international bilingual school in Central America for four years. During my time abroad I taught 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade English Language Arts, as well as high school Social Arts, English, and History courses (such as Philosophy, AP US History, Sociology, Contemporary History, and Anthropology.) Though I have taught a wide range of topics, my favorite subjects to teach are English, History, Anthropology, and Philosophy. In my experience working with high school, undergraduate, and graduate students; my favorite experience is when I help a student understand new ways to make connections to a text they are reading, or help them in ways to improve their writing. I believe that to communicate clearly and coherently is to advocate for one's self, which can make all the difference in one's self-confidence and academic success. Outside my academic pursuits, I love traveling, learning new languages, running marathons, cooking, and being a mom.

I am passionate about helping students because it is something that I do for a living. I am currently a fifth grade teacher. I have been teaching for the last five years.

The subjects that I tutor are elementary school math, reading, science, and writing. I can also tutor in English, math, reading, science, and writing. My favorite subjects to teach would be elementary math and algebra 1. I would describe my teaching philosophy and tutoring style as that it's okay to have to try again. We can always work toward a specific goal. We're in this together. Learning is not linear, our minds ebb and flow throughout our lives and it's okay if we don't get it right now. We will get it soon enough.
