Jeffery
Caring and Friendly Math Tutor
Bonjour! Comment ca va? My name is Jeffery, and I love Math.

I have worked as a tutor and have over a decade of experience. Throughout my time as a tutor, I have had chances to work with a wide range of students, meeting a variety of goals. Some of my students are gifted as well as special needs. I tutor students from... Read more
Tanya
Spanish tutor. American born, raised in southern Spain
I was born in Chicago, IL and due to my parent's divorce, ended up being raised in southern Spain, in Fuengirola, (Malaga). Although I've known for a long time that my first language was English, I've never remembered when I "didn't" know Spanish. Culturally speaking, it's always been like I had a foot in both countries. My main contact with the States was English, especially when coming every other year to visit my father's parents in Chicago, IL. I've always appreciated knowing a second ... Read more

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 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...
