Experience
I have taught 1st grade in Gurnee, IL at District #56 for 5 years (2001-2006). Then I moved to the Barrington #220 district and have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade during the past 9 years. I currently still teach at Sunny Hill Elementary. I have also worked at Huntington Learning Center after school for one year. (2008) My entire teaching career I have tutored in the evenings and weekends. I have tutored students that are struggling and those who want to excel above grade level. I specialize in tutoring students K-9. I have been recognized for bringing students up to grade level after working with them for a year. Teaching struggling students to read is my strength and passion of mine. I love building a relationship with a child and building into him/her so they can be perform to their potential all the while maintaining a love for learning.
