Comments

I am currently teaching reading full time, and I am tutoring algebra, reading, and general elementary subjects in the evening. I have recently received reading endorsements after completing additional coursework. I have had considerable success working with students with severe reading deficits. I have a very good rapport with my students and have had students send me letters for years following instruction.
I am available in the evenings in my home in Downers Grove.

References

I have enjoyed tutoring for many years and will be happy to refer you to current and former students and/or their parents. The principal at Farragut High School, Ms. Plascencia (773-534-1300) or N.J. Erickson (630-682-0593)can speak to my classroom effectiveness.

Personal Statement

I very much enjoy working with students, especially those whose self-esteem has been damaged by lack of success in school.
