Linda
Experienced writing teacher can edit and polish your manuscripts
I love language! After majoring in Chinese and Japanese, I spent four years living in Japan, studying and teaching English. This was my introduction to teaching English; when I left Japan, I got a MA in Linguistics to be able to teach English to non-native speakers at the college level. I began teaching here in the Chicago area in 1980. I spent several years working in gerontology, but most of my working life has been spent in teaching. Since 2001, I have taught at a local co...

Jeanette
Native French Tutor
Dear friends, I was born in France and later grew up in the USA, speaking both French and English at home.

I had my first class of grade school French students when I was seventeen and majoring in French Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I turned our home into a classroom, and my students gathered around the dinin... Read more
Yasmine
English Girl with a Passion for Reading, Writing and Literature
I firmly believe that a good tutor can boost a student's confidence in the classroom, where confidence is lacking. I am a lawyer with a passion for the English language, and would love the opportunity to help students become better readers and writers as I believe that it is the key to being able to communicate effectively in today's world. Whilst not a professional teacher, I have had experience assisting youngsters in their homework and I have found it very rewarding. I believe that often, ... Read more

Break down language knots and complex issues
My students have come to refer to me as their mentor friend and an effective English tutor for foreign visitors and new arrivals in the United States as well as for current students in Chicago's school system.

I break down complex language in their reading passages and assignments into simple, und... Read more

During my four years as an undergraduate, I spent quite a bit of time studying teaching theory, and then implementing it in both ... Read more
