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

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...

Making Organic Chemistry Everyone's Favorite - A Must Do
In spite of the far reaching application of chemistry, especially organic chemistry, instructors have failed to generate interest in this most important area of science. This is primarily due to the perceived abstract nature of how it has been communicated over the years. As a tutor, one of my aims is geared towards fixing this false perception. Not only do I place a lot of emphasis on effectively communicating the core concept of chemistry, equal energy is placed into linking the concept an... Read more
