Carefully selected, highly-credentialed ACT English tutors
"I've attained a pretty comprehensive background in education over the past four years, including daily work substitute teaching and frequent work as a football coach, camp counselor and tutor. My primary area of expertise is English (the discipline in which I'm certified to teach in the state of Illinois). I'm proficient in a number of other subjects, as well -- including most all of the social sciences and much of the natural sciences. On top of that I run a literary magazine (untowardmag.com) and have extensive experience as both a writer and editor." ...

"I especially enjoy high-schoolers of every level, but I have tutored students from age 6 to 35! To me, tutoring is about really getting to know each student, their strengths, and those areas of weakness that are coming between them and their highest potential. My specialties are math, essay writing and Spanish. I love algebra because it's so neat and there's always a right answer, and I enjoy helping students realize that it's more straightforward than it seems. I learned Spanish as a second language, and becoming fluent was one of the most exciting things I have ever done." ...

"I am from Manhattan but have been living in the Chicago area for almost 5 years.

I graduated in the top 5 of my high school class and took numerous AP classes as well as the SAT, ACT, and SATII."

"I am organized, detailed, and comfortable working with any type of students- including students with disabilites. I self-studied for ACT, and my composite score was in the 99th percentile. I will share with students many tips and strategies that will not only help them save time on the test day, but also ultimately improve their scores. My goal as a tutor is to make sure that students understand the fundamental concepts, and that they apply them to other similar questions that will be on the tests. We will start with areas that students are having most difficulty with." ...

"I've worked with at-risk students, high functioning students, enthusiastic, devoted, exuberant students and everyone in between. Being able to relate to my students and teaching difficult concepts in an approachable way are two other strengths that make me an effective tutor. I am about to wrap up my 3rd year as an English teacher at a local high school. I've also interned for the LOGOS therapeutic school and subbed at various local schools. Recently, I've been volunteering for a mentoring foundation. I strive to make my tutoring sessions exciting, fresh, and effective." ...

"I'm drawn to that period because it was the start of English literature as we know it--the printing press was just beginning to take off, commercial theaters were opening for the first time, and suddenly there was a huge demand for fiction. Authors hadn't written on this scale before, and so they were incredibly inventive (and more than a little strange)--they could mix fantasy, romance, serious religious allegory, political satire, and crude humor, for example, into one very entertaining book. I've been tutoring high school students for the past three years. My goal in tutoring is for my students to learn what questions they need to ask ...

"I have been tutoring a wide variety of subjects since middle school.
My approach to teaching is to cater to the learning style of the individual student. I focus on what the students feel is their weakest area. I like to develop study guides with the student to help them pinpoint key topics and through the process engage in comprehensive review of the material.
I let the students lead the direction of the sessions through their questions rather than lecturing."
