Carefully selected, highly-credentialed English tutors in Gleview, IL
"I tutor multiple levels of math, ACT and SAT prep in Math and English, and Spanish.
My philosophy as a tutor is that students know more than they think they do. I like to guide my students through solving problems by using their prior knowledge and experience, and asking questions so that they can participate as much as I do. My favorite thing about tutoring is getting to know my students on an individual basis, and figuring out how they learn best."

"I am always exploring new ways to make tutoring sessions fun and easy to understand! I am known to bring rubberbands, corn kernels, and LOTS of scratch paper to my sessions. I am a Spanish speaker and spent six months studying in Argentina where I learned to dance tango and practiced daily yoga in Spanish and English. I recently traveled to China for a college course studying sustainable water management strategies. I love to travel! I also love to write and tend to excel with pen and paper, or--more realistically--with a laptop and Microsoft Word. I rely on the notion that the best pieces of writing are crisp, clear, and a pleasure for the ...

" In Cincinnati, I worked with Latin students at all levels. My beginning Latin students saw particularly outstanding results, because I was able to teach them the English grammar and mechanics they needed to transition from English to Latin. From my professional experience as a Shakespearean actor and my educational experience as a Shakespearean director, I know that I can explain and enliven classic texts for people of all ages. I have a strong literature background, and I am passionate about tutoring students who struggle to understand or appreciate English literary treasures." ...

"In my years as a teacher’s assistant for college freshmen, a workshop teacher at 826 Chicago, and a literacy tutor with at-risk kids in a low-income elementary school in Ohio, I’ve turned students who professed to hate reading and writing into confident and creative writers. I've also helped students excel in history, mathematics and particularly enjoy helping students exceed their own scoring expectations on the SAT. As a graduate of the Oberlin College Creative Writing Program, I believe that every writing assignment, from historical essays to Japanese poetry to science term papers, has the possibility to enthrall and ...

" I taught classes and tutored English, Spanish, literacy and taught an intensive computer seminar to adults and teenagers. Before the Peace Corps I graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont with a Bachelors Degree in Economics where I studied Micro and Macro Economics and Regression Analysis as well as Math and Spanish.
