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

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

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...

Striving for a deeper understanding
- $28 / h

- Franklin Park , Illinois ( 60131 )
- 20 miles
As an artist I've always been fascinated with trying to grasp a deeper understanding of things by finding analogues to problems and gaining insight through that. The reason is i have something called Synesthesia, or a mixing of the senses. For me it just means i can see music inside my mind very vividly. This has helped me in a variety of ways in both my visual and musical art. That's what i mean by finding analogues. I try to get a hold of one things by maybe finding a similarity in another ...
