Carefully selected, highly-credentialed ACT Writing tutors in Northbrook, IL
"I think a tutor can have a significant impact on the success of any student. Everyone has their own way of learning and classes can be difficult if the teacher does not recognize an individual's personal style of learning. As a tutor, I can personally work with a student and find different ways to approach a class.
Besides doing very well in my classes, I have a wide range of experience working with people in various fields."

"I'm a recent transplant to Chicago, and I'm excited to explore the midwest! I'm heavily immersed in the sciences and stay pretty busy in a bacterial genetics lab whenever I'm not tutoring. Science is a full-time lifestyle for me, so I've had my share of exploring as well as tutoring chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and physics up to the undergraduate level. I majored in chemistry and general/statistical mathematics, and am capable of teaching up to abstraction subjects in the latter. I have also studied literature, specifically post-modern American, British Renaissance, and poetry throughout my IB high school and college years." ...

"I am a recent Duke graduate with several years of tutoring experience and a heart for helping others succeed. Recognizing that hard work becomes easier with interest and engagement, I make the learning environment relaxed and enjoyable - and sometimes outright fun! I find tutoring to be incredibly rewarding, and strive to have my students view their work the same way, leaving them feeling more comfortable in their coursework, confident in their abilities, and excited for new challenges.

"I have a lot of experience teaching seniors in High School, but I can help any students from 6th grade and earlier all the way up to 12th grade. If your student needs any help in Language Arts, request me, you won't be disappointed. I've been reading ever since I started reading those little pamphlet books like "See Dick Run." I'm consistently in the middle of two or three books. I'm very interested in movies and tv shows as a medium for excellent writing.."
