NU Classicist Teaches Traditional Grammar, Writing, and Revision
- $125 / h
- 1 rating
- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )

My instruction is not so much about “creative writing†as it is about taking a rough draft through its necessary revisions by working from no-nonsense, traditional principles by which we can p...

Experienced Writing Tutor, with ESL student background

- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )

Additionally, I have established relationships with several international students, for whom English is not their fi... Read more
