Tanya
Spanish tutor. American born, raised in southern Spain
I was born in Chicago, IL and due to my parent's divorce, ended up being raised in southern Spain, in Fuengirola, (Malaga). Although I've known for a long time that my first language was English, I've never remembered when I "didn't" know Spanish. Culturally speaking, it's always been like I had a foot in both countries. My main contact with the States was English, especially when coming every other year to visit my father's parents in Chicago, IL. I've always appreciated knowing a second ... Read more
ELVIRA
Reading Tutor
I have tutored and worked with young and adult students who wants to learn English, mostly from foreign countries and just starting to learn English as their second language. I enjoy teaching them and helping them learn from the bottom, with very low knowledge of English words, as it is challenging for me and rewarding at the same time when I see their improvement in time. I started doing this when I was in college and fresh out of college, referred by friends who worked for people from diffe... Read more

Bryan
Resourceful, certified ELA teacher trained in CCSS.
This June wrapped up my first year as an English Language Arts (ELA) teacher on the west side of Chicago. Most of my students were below grade level. Having to differentiate taught me a lot about what students need to know in order to be at a third grade level; what we call vertical progression. My style of teaching allows students to perform most of the cognitive lifting, while I probe them with questions that will enable them to think critical. I am a calm, loving, nurturing father o...
