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

Robert
NU Classicist Teaches Traditional Grammar, Writing, and Revision
- $125 / h

- 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...

Stephanie
Patient, Creative, and Experienced Tutor

I worked with various ages and proficiency levels, ranging from a teenage student from Mexico who didn't speak any English at all, to an older adult student from Poland who simply wanted to expand his vocabulary. Recently, I spent about 7 months tutoring two refugee children from Iraq in English as a Second Language, as well as whatever subjects they brought home for homework. ... Read more
