Emily
Engaging and Effective Elementary, Reading, and Writing Tutor
Throughout high school and college I had various experiences with education—from teaching reading at the Polo Grounds Community Center, to one-on-one tutoring, to running an arts program at two local elementary schools. I then accepted a job teaching 3rd and 4th grade at the Education Achievement Authority’s Bethune Elementary/Middle School in Detroit, MI, beginning in August 2012. I remained in this role for two years, and then spent one year writing curriculum for an elementary school compu... Read more
Bernard
World Languages and Writing
I taught German and Spanish for 9 years in public and private high schools and middle schools in the Chicago area. To become fluent I spent one year in Germany and a summer in Barcelona, Spain learning Spanish. In recent years, I have traveled in Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Venezuela and other Spanish speaking countries. This experience gives me the breadth of Spanish language and culture. Over the past few years I have developed a love of Chicago history and culture and have worked as a... Read more

NU Classicist Teaches Traditional Grammar, Writing, and Revision
- $125 / h
- 1 rating
- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )
- 0 miles
I help my students apply the traditional principles of grammar, logic, and rhetoric to their writing. Many are working professionals and graduate students looking specifically to revise and polish their written work; others are retirees who are writing reflectively about their careers or personal lives. 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...

Lisa
Experienced Writing Tutor, with ESL student background
- $36 / h
- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )
- 10 miles
I worked for 1 year at a university writing center, averaging 8 hours per week of tutoring. My tutoring style is above all conversational: getting to hear directly from a student about where they are and how I can help them. This style involves moving beyond grammar to improving the clarity of a student's writing, strength of an argument, and building greater comprehension. Additionally, I have established relationships with several international students, for whom English is not their fi... Read more

I've spent a decade teaching in various parts of the world. My teaching degree was completed in Scotland, where I student taught in many schools. I then moved to London, where I taught History and Politics to junior high and high school students. I moved around England, teaching in a variety of school environments, and also had an opportunity to teach in Rwanda for a few weeks. Since moving back to Chicago, I've been in the process of transferring my teaching license back to Illinois. ... Read more
Nicole
Math, Science, Engineering and Test Prep
I was raised in a family of educators and realized the joys of sharing knowledge with others at a young age. I started tutoring and assistant teaching in 8th grade. I continued in this pattern into my years at Northwestern University with the Center for Talent Development program. From my experiences, I understand that the learning process is a journey. As a tutor, my goal is to help my students discover the joy and power of mastering that journey. I specialize in tutoring all levels of... Read more

Elizabeth
Creative Writing Tutor
I am a current graduate student at Columbia College where I am writing a novel which also is my thesis. I wrote and performed a one woman show when living in Los Angeles.

I have tutored fiction writing at Columbia College for the past two years and taught Columbia College's Story Workshop method to a fifth grade class at Paul Revere Intermediate School. Why do I love about tutoring? Everything. Guiding a student from a story's begining to end. H... Read more
Alexsia
PhD in Microbiology for Microbiology and Genetics Tutoring
My desire to teach arose during my undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Like many students I had both good and bad professors during my time at school but what intrigued me was what made a good professor so engaging and likewise what made the bad professors so unbearable. All too often science is presented as a blur of long words, and complicated equations. While these are certainly elements of scientific research, such a heavy emphasis on this during the early yea...
