English Literature
I've tutored college-age students for the past five years, particularly focusing on English coursework. I taught Writing and Rhetoric at Columbia College Chicago for 2 years before starting my current position as a design researcher. Recently, I've been invited to give a guest lecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to discuss literature in translation. As a practicing writer, I love strengthening students' understanding of grammar, voice and tone, style, and rhetoric. I als... Read more

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

Dylan
Chicago-based Social Studies Tutor
I am a firm believer in the adage, "Education is the key to success." Though this phrase perhaps has been overused to the point of becoming a hollow cliche, I believe it still carries profound significance. It speaks to the importance of education not only for the success of an individual, but for society as a whole. Education opens doors. It is for this reason that I decided to channel my time and energy into the field of education and working with students to help them to continually grow a... Read more

Elementary Tutor who makes learning enjoyable
Hi! I'm a certified elementary school teacher who is looking to tutor. I do my best to make learning an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one.

I have worked with all age groups and subject matters and have the experience to tutor accordingly. I love seeing a child gain knowledge and feel confident in their... Read more
