Tamara
Science and Writing Tutor
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology. I graduated with a major in Biology and a minor in Sociology. In my summers off from college I worked in a pre k/ daycare. In this position I helped teach 3-4 year olds. I used a lot of repetition, kept instructions simple and used rewards. During the school year, when not working, I would frequently edit peers papers and lead group study sessions. At the college level progress was mostly measured by professors grades. Prior to then, I volunteer... Read more
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

Eunice
Math Junkie with a passion for teaching!
Teaching has always been something I've been passionate about. Helping people get to that "aha!" moment is one of the most rewarding things for me--it feels good knowing that someone has had a breakthrough in how they see the world around them, even for something as simple as words and numbers on a page. I truly mean it when I say my style of teaching is student-centered. I hold students responsible for explaining their work and choices. My motto is that you can only claim to know something i...
