Leta
Writer and Researcher
My undergraduate education is from Northwestern University where I majored in English Literature. I have a masters degree in Public Administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

I don't believe that it is enough to just correct spelling and grammar but to help students learn how to think critically about a subject and write about it intelligently. Anyone can learn the basics of spelling and grammar ... Read more

Former Actuary Now a High School Math Teacher
I am a currently a high school math teacher in the Chicago Public School system. I did my certification coursework at Northwestern University. Prior to that, I worked as an actuary for over 30 years.

My teaching method is to create a student who is a critical thinker, a problem solver. I try to use real world examples... Read more
Amanda
High school math teacher with a great amount of experience
I have been teaching high school math for many years. It's funny because when I was in high school, I was never in love with math. I was always good at it but never thought it would become my career. I started really liking it in college and learned to love it as I made it my major. I graduated college in 2011 with a bachelors degree in mathematics and an Illinois state teaching certificate. When I graduated college, I got a job with a private school for some time, then taught at a suburban ... Read more

I have the maturity and common sense that derives from more than thirty five years as a research chemist. My enthusiasm for chemistry (and science in general) stems from the excellent teachers that I had in grade and high school. My goal is to emulate them and hopefully instill the same passion for science in my students. My teaching style is not dictatorial. I am an advocate of the trust but verify approach. If you tell me you understand, I will ask you follow up question(s) to insure tha... Read more
