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

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.

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...

James
Jim W. English, Reading, ACT Prep
Since elementary school, I have taken a liking to the English language arts. I was initially drawn to this subject area when I realized that my skills in it came to me naturally. However, I am no stranger to the difficulty of learning something that does not click right away. For this reason, I love teaching students who find English concepts to be particularly challenging. Through my easy-going communication skills and willingness to be thorough when breaking down an idea, no concept will be... Read more

I also taught Computer Applications and Computer Science including AP Computer Science. I left teaching to become a corporate trainer at several of Chicago's largest law firms. My greatest strength is translating the subject matter into understandable terms. While working with attorneys, I was constantly complimented on my ability to teach without intimidation. Severa...

Brian
A modern, innovative educator & lifelong learner.
I'm originally from Oak Lawn and a graduate of Oak Lawn Community High School. After being declined admission to my dream school (Notre Dame), I spent my first year of college at Illinois State University. However, after a strong first year of studies, I earned admission to Notre Dame through a transfer application. This taught me to never give up on one's dream, and to persevere through difficult times with focus, determination, and hard work. By way of this combination, anything is possible... Read more
