Jacob
Writer, editor, avid reader and history buff
Grew up in Illinois, attended college at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. There, I triple-majored in Multimedia Journalism, Mass Communications and Political Science. During that time, I worked for the St. Louis Cardinals, Quad City Times, Rock Island Argus-Dispatch and the college itself. Since graduating, I've worked in sales and editorial roles. I am an avid reader (roughly a book per week), a self-diagnosed news junkie and history buff. I love tutoring because it's one of the few ... Read more
Gabriel
A concise, stress-free, easy-to-understand approach to math
I have a degree in Mathematics from Benedictine University. I am a math fanatic and I want to spread that to people who think they dislike math. The only reason people get discouraged in math is if you don't get it, but once you do, it's an addictive feeling solving problems. I have been tutoring for five years and have had my Illinois Professional Educator license for three years. I love when my students say "this is so much easier than the way my teacher explained it" and when they are ... Read more

A native English speaker, I enjoy sharing my love of our complex language with others who are newer to it.

Mike
Mr. Reading for Enjoyment (and puzzles too)
I work with students of all ages one-on-one with a variety of approaches and strategies. I like to put together simple research papers, narratives, poems, songs, and fantasy stories. It is even more fun when we illustrate what we are writing about. An engaging story, read aloud, goes a long way toward bringing up school work performance. Getting a hold of two copies of a book--say, Hunger Games, for example, is not very difficult. For the beginning reader, Patricia Pollcka has written and ... Read more
