Natalie W.

My name is Natalie Wilson and I am 21 years old. I attend a small university, North Park, in Chicago, IL and live with my family during large breaks in St. Paul, MN. I am majoring in Elementary Education and Spanish, with endorsements in ESL (English as a Second Language) and Bilingual Education.

I have a lot of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I worked as a Children’s Ministry Assistant for my home church in New Brighton, MN at Salem Covenant for about two and a half years. There, I ran a day camp, planned family and children events, and planned and taught for children’s Sunday school. In Chicago, I also the leader of a tutoring program that partners with a Peterson Elementary school. I have been a tutor for a students in elementary school for about two and a half years, and I took on the leadership role this year of recruiting volunteer tutors from my university. In my education at North Park University, I am going through a variety of teaching and classroom experiences, where I am required to spend an extended amount of time working in the classrooms with students, teaching lessons, and helping the teacher as needed.

Through my most recent experiences, I have grown very comfortable working with children in a variety of settings. I love working with children in a variety of ages, from preschool up through middle school. I love to plan engaging and fun activities that help students to let out creative energy and explore the world around them. I am also experienced with working with students with a variety of needs (ADHD, ADD, autism, aspergers, etc. I have experience making these students feel comfortable, but also helping them to work through their challenges as well.
