About Joel

Bio

Hello, my name is Joel. I am from Peoria Heights, IL. I have been a substitute school teacher ever since the Spring of 2003. Although I have never held a tutoring position, I have substitute-taught in many classes and feel that I have acquired significant experience in the classroom.

My experience in substitute teaching has been mainly at the elementary level including the following subject areas: English, Reading, Phonics, Math, Science, Social Studies, Vocabulary, and Geography.

Hello, my name is Joel. I am from Peoria Heights, IL. I have been a substitute school teacher ever since the Spring of 2003. Although I have never held a tutoring position, I have substitute-taught in many classes and feel that I have acquired significant experience in the classroom.

My experience in substitute teaching has been mainly at the elementary level including the following subject areas: English, Reading, Phonics, Math, Science, Social Studies, Vocabulary, and Geography.

If for example, I was going to tutor vocabulary studies to students, then I would use the approach of getting more familiar with the dictionary and how to use it wisely. When a student can master breaking down words into syllables and then figure out what one means, then they can develop a better understanding at defining words. This the approach that I would take in assisting students in improving their vocabulary skills. If I was to tutor math, then I would take the approach in solving problems step-by-step and always to use formulas. I believe that it will provide the student with a better understanding in solving math problems. When it relates to reading and comprehending, I have always found it beneficial to highlight all important ideas and terms as I read. This gave me a better understanding of what I was reading and helped myself comprehend better. I would definitely use this approach if I was tutoring students in reading/comprehension. This approach would be beneficial with Social Studies and Science too.

I do believe that my several years of substitute school teaching experience would make me a valuable asset in the lives of students in need of tutoring assistance. I have always had an interest in tutoring along with substitute school teaching, but I have never had the opportunity to pursue individual tutoring. I am very flexible on hours that I would be available to tutor. Flexibility is very important to students as well so my main goal is to work around the students schedule.

Social Studies

During my years of college I had taken several courses in Social Sciences at the Junior College level before getting into my Junior/Senior level courses. I have been Substitute teaching for nearly twelve years now in the Elementary/Middle to High school level. I Substitute taught several Social Studies classes over the years of Substitute teaching. I believe that having the Social Science classes along with the Substitute teaching experience quite valuable for me to be considered qualified.

Joel was great helping my kid with Math

Joel is currently tutoring my son with Math for second grade. My son was very engaged during the lesson and was able to understand what the homework better than usual. Thanks Joel!

Melissa, 2 lessons with Joel

Awesome first session

My son loved his teacher. Him being a little slow , the teacher was patient enough to go over things. We started with math basics and went to word problems. The tutor followed parents wishes on which areas to cover. I will be booking again and hope to build my son’s mathematical base stronger by giving him the extra one on one support which he needs! Thank you !

Knowledgeable and patient

We did Maths and reading and I loved the way he was helping by showing me how to proceed to get the right results. We went through subtraction, addition and did money counts as well. I really had fun. Thank you Mr Joel

Joel is extremely patient and kind and made my son (who was very nervous) feel totally at ease. I'm super excited to continue to work with him. He is both knowledgeable and patient.
