Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Writing tutors in Chicago, IL
" My past tutoring and teaching experiences include working with individual college students on English essay writing, Intro Micro- and Macroeconomics, and 4th-5th grade creative writing. I am now working full-time as a tutor/behavior coach with an 8th grade English class on the south side of Chicago. My main interests are English composition and English language/literature. Additionally, I very much enjoy working with students on introductory Economics and high school Mathematics. Finally, my experience working with City Year Chicago has given me a great deal of depth in remedial math, English (writing and reading), and social ...

" I have taught or tutored in many different arenas, from high school teaching and tutoring to legal intern and lawyer training, and from summer camps and after-school programs to caring for my elementary-and-toddler-aged nieces and nephew. Currently, I teach high school math, science, English, social studies, and theater arts when those classroom teachers aren't available. That's right. I'm a substitute teacher so that I can tutor in the evenings instead of lesson planning and grading. For two and one-half years, I taught high school government, law, economics, U.S." ...

"I tutored in college, and I have three years experience as a teaching assistant, so I know what college professors are looking for from their students' papers. My approach to tutoring follows the idea of "if you teach a man to fish..." My goal is to teach by helping students come to the correct conclusion on their own, whether that pertains to figuring out the Latin subjunctive, the German use of cases, or writing a decent thesis statement in their mother tongue. If you need help with Latin, German, or English/writing, feel free to contact me!." ...

" I also have a masters degree in gifted education, which taught me to strengthen higher levels of thinking and learning with students. I incorporate inferential thinking and logic into all of my tutoring sessions in order to give my students practice with skills that they will need throughout their lives. I also have an arsenal of test-taking tips and tricks that students can use to excel on standardized tests. Test-taking is generally not an inborn talent; it is a skill that must be learned. Working with a tutor is a great way to learn how!." ...

"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."
