MARCUS
Hey! I am a young, intelligent EMT eager to inspire!
My name is Marcus J., and I am an emergency medical technician and a disaster health worker for the American Red Cross. As a civil servant, and public health agent, I know how important it is to have sharp, competent, educated professionals on hand to handle emergencies that may arise. To that end I feel that it is important to give back, and to disperse some of the knowledge that I have attained in my career; especially in the natural sciences and English grammar. I feel that youth are our ... Read more

They join when a teacher uses passion knowledge and reflection to establish policies that lead students to responsibility, self-discovery, and critical thinking. After fifteen years as a teach...

Hi, My name is Steve. I was a reading teacher in Granada, Spain for 1 year and then became a Title 1 Reading Teacher at Palatine High School.

Hannah
Proofreading, Essay writing assistance, and IL bar exam tutoring
I am a licensed Illinois attorney, with a background in writing and literature. As the daughter of two English professors, the importance of reading and studying was always emphasized as I grew up. As a result, writing and schoolwork came easily to me, but I frequently studied with classmates who struggled. Since I was in seventh grade, I stayed after school to help friends study and prided myself when they were able to improve their grades. Many people feel overwhelmed or don't know wher... Read more
