Nancy Mokena, IL
I began substitute teaching in 1991. I did this for 13 years, substitute teaching in grades K-8. In 2002, I returned to school and obtained my Masters in Elementary Education in 2004. Later that same year I was hired to teach second grade and did this up until this past year. I loved teaching but am now at the stage of my life where I would rather be employed at a part-time basis. While teaching full-time, I also tutored students during the summer months. I loved tutoring as I did this on a ... Read more

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

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
