About Simona

With over 31 years of teaching experience, a strong educational background, and a deep commitment to student growth, I bring dedication, creativity, and determination to every lesson. I take pride in designing customized lessons that meet each student’s unique needs. Watching them grow in skill and confidence as they begin to understand and apply what they've learned is incredibly rewarding. I believe that with the right tools and support, every student has the potential to succeed.

I remember when I was young, I was always looking up to my mom who was an art teacher. I loved seeing her passion for teaching and how much her students loved her. She was creative and always made learning fun. I told myself that I want one day to do the same.

I always liked working with children of all ages. I volunteered during different events either in the community or at church to work with kids. I then decided to go into teaching.

I started out as an elementary teacher and taught 1st and 2nd grade for 11 years, and I have been teaching middle and high school for the past 14 years.

 



I hold two Bachelors’ degrees, one in Psychology from UIC, and one in English Secondary Education from Northeastern Illinois University. I have a Master’s in English with a concentration in Literature from Northeastern Illinois University. 

I am a certified ACT tutor in English. Students that I have worked with have gotten a score of 5 on their AP exams, they scored 30 and above on their ACT, and got a minimum of 300 points higher after tutoring sessions on their SAT test.

Before I start working with a new student, I like to get to know them by asking a few questions about their likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, what type of learner they are, and current working level. This helps me to better design my lessons in order to get optimum results. I too struggled as a student during my elementary school years, and that experience has helped me better understand and successfully apply different types of learning methods. 

 



I have worked with students of all academic levels including: international exchange students, ESL/ELL, AP, IB, honors and accelerated, students with 504 Plans, IEPs, and SSPs.

 



I would look at one’s experience and education, and make sure that they love what they do. Best teachers love teaching and are committed to their students’ success.

Teachers do more than teach. They encourage, they support, they form, they challenge, they open new horizons, and change lives. I am happy to be one of them. 



I am really excited to share how recently, one of my senior students decided to major in English. They told me that they were inspired because of the class they took and fell in love with Literature and Writing. It brought tears to my eyes because I realized that I made a difference.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What type of learner are you? Are you a visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social, or solitary?

What are some of the things you are comfortable with when it comes to studying/learning? 

Who is one teacher that impacted your life? Why?
