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
Cindy
An enthusiastic historian, eager to pass on knowledge!
- $45 / h
- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )

I've spent a decade teaching in various parts of the world. My teaching degree was completed in Scotland, where I student taught in many schools. I then moved to London, where I taught History and Politics to junior high and high school students. I moved around England, teaching in a variety of school environments, and also had an opportunity to teach in Rwanda for a few weeks. Since moving back to Chicago, I've been in the process of transferring my teaching license back to Illinois. ... Read more
Robert
NU Classicist Teaches Traditional Grammar, Writing, and Revision
- $125 / h
- 1 rating
- Park Ridge , Illinois ( 60068 )
- 0 miles
I help my students apply the traditional principles of grammar, logic, and rhetoric to their writing. Many are working professionals and graduate students looking specifically to revise and polish their written work; others are retirees who are writing reflectively about their careers or personal lives. 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...

Nerissa
Psychology Tutor
Since earning my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, I've sought out extra opportunities to teach. I enjoy utilizing real life examples to help students better understand difficult psychological theories. I've taught mainly at community colleges in Michigan and Florida, but also while a graduate student at Georgia State University. I am currently looking to tutor as a way to occupy my time and generate income while applying for doctorate programs in Clinical Psychology for the 2017-2... Read more
Gusiman
Experienced Tutor Specializing in Spanish Language and English
Hi, I'm Gusiman! I graduated in 2010 from UIUC, majoring in Spanish and English. Growing up in a household that primarily spoke Spanish, I decided to take my love of language to strengthen my bilingual abilities in the academic setting. Learning and refining my language skills through formal, rigorous university standards have allowed me to appreciate and adopt the enthusiastic attitudes that my former professors exuded. As non native speakers of a language native to me, their professionali... Read more
Diana
Spanish-English Science/Math Educator/Tutor
Hi, I'm Diana! I graduated with a dual Bachelor's degree in Biology and Psychology. Most recently, I completed my Master of Arts in Secondary Teaching specializing in Middle Level Education. When I was a high school student, I was fortunate to have a good tutor in Math and Science. I then developed a passion and a need to help other students struggling with the same subjects that I eventually mastered. These subjects include Algebra 1, Biology, English, and Spanish. I am very patient an... Read more

I teach Spanish at all levels and European, Latin American, and World History. Spanish is my native language, and because of my academic preparation and experience, I can teach it at any level, from the most introductory levels to the most advanced. If you need assistance in English, just to impr... Read more
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

My tutoring experience includes working with children (help with school work/assignments... Read more
