Elementary (K-6th)
Hello, my name is Anne and I am a certified elementary teacher who lived and taught in Mexico. During this time, I taught reading, writing, math, and science in English to second graders and worked hard to help my students improve their English. Because of my experience, I am aware of the challenges of teaching young children and work hard to meet their needs. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences guides my thinking and planning to help me best reach my students.
English
Hello, my name is Anne S. and for the last six years, I taught reading, writing, speaking and listening in English. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults helping some of them to learn English from the start and others to improve the skills that they had already obtained. Please contact me if you want a tutor who will work with you to achieve your potential.
ESL/ESOL
Hello, my name is Anne and for the last 6 years I was an ESL teacher in Guadalajara, Mexico. I have had experience with many different types of learners that has made me aware of the fact that no two people learn the same, so I work hard to tailor my lessons to fit the needs of my students. In addition, I have spent many hours learning Spanish, so I understand that learning another language can be a challenge. I look forward to hearing from you.

Spanish
Hello, my name is Anne and I just returned to the Chicago area from Guadalajara, Mexico where I taught ESL and studied Spanish for six years. Recently, I started tutoring in Spanish and with my skills that I developed from teaching ESL, I am able to use them to help my students in Spanish. I take time to listen to my students and find out what their needs are, and then I design lessons that will best help them. I look forward to working with you. Thank you very much for your time.
Spelling
Hello, my name is Anne and I am an ESL teacher who has taught reading and writing in English and has edited many essays as well. I understand a lot about spelling in English and have many strategies to help you. For example, we can look at specific rules and exceptions to them. Also I have a lot of mnemonic devices that are very helpful. I think I can improve your spelling a great deal. Hope to hear from you soon.
Writing
Hello my name is Anne and I love to write and help people with their writing as well. For the last six years, I lived in Mexico where I taught English to both children and adults. Within this work, I taught writing to both children and adults.
One of my jobs was to teach a second grade class in English. I taught them grammar, and we also did a lot of free writing. In another job, I taught history, philosophy and literature to high school students and served as the editor for the composition class. I have excellent grammar skills and writing is my passion. Please get in touch with me if you want a great writing teacher.
