Experienced Writing Tutor, with ESL student background
- $36 / h
- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )

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

- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )

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...
