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

Jason
Math and physics tutor
I am a math and physics tutor with several years of experience, including experience teaching. While working as a tutor at my school, I was frequently one of the most sought tutors for my ability to explain the problem (often told that I did a better job of it than the teacher), as well as my patience with students. I also tutored small groups at the same time, when several students from the same class would come in. Seeing that moment of understanding when a student "gets it" is a great feel... Read more

Helping kids be the best they can be
I love helping kids achieve their best. I currently work as a paraprofessional in a school. I've worked with kids with behavioral problems and helped problem behaviors decrease to allow more room for learning. I love seeing that moment when a subject "clicks" with a student and they finally understand it. I've run a "95% group" which helps students who struggle with basic reading skills such as blends. I'm a creative problem solver so I love to find new ways to teach kids. Some... Read more
