Annette R. Valdes is a Primary and Secondary Tutor in the boonies of Chicago, IL, who assists students in understanding, learning, absorbing, and succeeding in their studies.
Before taking on the role of a tutor/instructor, Annette went back to school to enhance her knowledge. After successfully completing an AAS degree with a 4.0 GPA, she felt confident enough to tackle teaching a homeschooling high school regimen for her two sons. With the success of their acceptance and enrollment, into different colleges, a new venture was spawned which provided the start of a new chapter.
Annette was asked if she would tutor children with whom she cared for as their Nanny. Additionally, the children’s neighborhood friends also joined in for the study/tutoring sessions. Annette’s tutoring success was continually evident due to the way the children flourished and learned to love or at least appreciate school.
Most recently, Annette graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.955 from the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS). Her years of study were in the online format. She welcomes and looks forward to the opportunity to assist with educational ventures.
During Annette's time at UIS, she continually received accolades from her professors for her submissions of both long essays, research documentation, and bulletin board short answers. Through her education, she has mastered English topics such as grammar, sentence structure, mechanics, and vocabulary. I can also supply elementary Mathematics tutoring as well as Military History.
