Heather
Heather L. Elementary Education and Science

They join when a teacher uses passion knowledge and reflection to establish policies that lead students to responsibility, self-discovery, and critical thinking. After fifteen years as a teach...

Early Education Tutor Katie
Hi! :) My name is Katie. I've been teaching for Chicago Public Schools for the past seven years for Early Childhood. I have a Masters in Early Childhood Education and a BA in Liberal and Fine Arts.

Michelle
Reading, Writing, Essay Editing, Critical Thinking, College Guidance
What I enjoy most about tutoring is applying my critical thinking skills in ways that assist my student to achieve his or her goals. Implicit in this assistance is identifying the student’s obstacles to a specific task, understanding the nature of these obstacles, and crafting an appropriate response to assist the student in overcoming these obstacles. Along the way, I enjoy answering students’ questions precisely and helping them to see their problems or their assignments from a different pe... Read more
