Katelin
ACT Math Tutor • +19 Subjects
I believe that education is the most important aspect of the developing youth. My goal is for all my students to become confident learners in their subject area. I achieve this by providing one-on-one attention to each student and helping each student 'learn how they learn'. This not only helps them achieve their current goals in our sessions, but also helps them in their future goals and study habits. I have been providing education to students for the past ten years. I am a certified middle school, high school, and college level Math and Science teacher. I have taught in a number of middle schools and high schools in the Chicagoland area over those past ten years. In addition to being a classroom teacher, I have also provided tutoring in Math, Science, and test prep. I am confident that my students improve in their subject area and showcase this improvement through constant record-keeping throughout and after each session. As a reflective and enthusiastic teacher and tutor, I am dedicated to ensure my students gather necessary knowledge and skills to develop and achieve their goals.

My name is Lena Constable and I am a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh, with degrees in Environmental Science and Political Science and a focus in American Politics. This fall I will be attending Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University hoping to attain my JD and pursue a career practicing environmental law.My experience as a Undergraduate Teaching Assistant has prepared me to help students working on personal statements for college and graduate school. This technical writing experience has provided me the skills to help student gain confidence in their writing skills as I have worked to teach undergraduates creative, technical, and professional writing technics. Beyond having experience with essay editing and writing I have worked one-on-one with student to develop their job application materials this being LinkedIn profiles, resumes, and cover letters. The job application process can be intimidating but with my experience working with students a little guidance can go a long way in making students feel confident in applying to positions they are qualified for and hopefully one day get their dream job. Lastly, as a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a major in environmental science I have become an expert in environmental science related materials and would love to help students navigate the material in AP Environmental Science as well as other related classes.
Alicia
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am a graduate of Western Carolina University where I double majored in Sociology and Elementary Education (K-6) with a certification in teaching Reading (K-12). I also received a Master's degree in Reading Education from Appalachian State University and am certified in the Orton-Gillingham philosophy in teaching dyslexia students. I have worked in public schools for the past 27 years as an elementary school teacher, Reading Specialist, and an Academic Facilitator. I have also taught Reading skills, test prep, and vocabulary in the Adult Literacy Department at my local community college. I have tutored a broad range of subjects and ages of students. I am most passionate about Reading - all the parts of it (phonemic awareness to comprehension) and helping change students' lives. Watching struggling students learn to become better readers has been very rewarding for me. I have changed lives and opened doors to students that thought they were not able to go any further. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, my two older children, reading, running, and watching basketball.
Mitchell
ACT Math Tutor • +46 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavior and a minor in Russian. After working as a summer camp counselor for the Boys and Girls Club of Wakefield and Stoneham for three summers during high school and his first year of college, I further explored my passion for working with students by working in the CLAD (Cognition, Learning, and Development) Research Lab at Notre Dame, while also serving as a tutor and mentor as a part of the Tutor ND Program. I had the chance to work with students of a variety of ages and backgrounds while at Notre Dame, and my favorite part about working with students has been the immensely rewarding opportunity to not only get to know the people I've worked with, but also to watch them grow and develop over time. From writing and history to biology and math, I've had experience creating individualized lesson plans that are uniquely tailored to each student's needs and desires, no matter the grade level. I will be continuing my education at the University of Massachusetts Medical School this coming Fall, but in the meantime, he hopes to expand on his enthusiasm for teaching and education by working with bright young minds in a variety of subject disciplines to help students achieve whatever academic and personal goals they strive for.

When I met my husband, he was living in Chile and did not understand or was able to speak Spanish at all. That's when my passion for teaching started.I've worked with students from different countries and I'm fascinated to learn about them and their cultures.I studied Business &Administration in Universidad de las Americas, Chile but I learned to fluently speak English when I came to USA to work as a snowboard instructor for the holidays.I'm a Spanish Tutor, native Spanish Speaker from Chile and I love to teach my students how fun is to be able to speak Spanish and how to use the language properly every time you visit South America.I would describe myself as an avid talker, I want to know what do you love to do, what are your goals and dreams and if you ever met someone named MACARENA before..(like the song...yes...that song).Besides sharing my passion abut teaching Spanish, I'm a full time Mom to 4 children. I love trying DIY projects at home, learn how to use power tools and practice hand-lettering...I believe there is nothing you can't learn in this life, you just need to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tutor provides personalized feedback on your writing that goes beyond what you might get in a classroom setting. They can work with you on the specific areas where you struggle—whether that's developing a strong thesis, organizing your ideas, strengthening your argumentation, or refining your writing voice. Through one-on-one instruction, tutors help you understand the "why" behind writing conventions, not just the rules, so you can apply these skills to future assignments.
Grammar is the foundation—correct punctuation, sentence structure, and word usage make your writing clear and professional. Style, on the other hand, is about how you express your ideas: your word choice, sentence variety, tone, and voice. A strong essay needs both. Tutors help you master grammar mechanics while also developing your unique writing voice, so your essays are not just correct but engaging and persuasive.
Writer's block often happens when you're trying to write the perfect essay on the first try. Tutors teach strategies like freewriting, outlining before drafting, or breaking the essay into smaller chunks so you're not facing a blank page all at once. They can also help you move from confusion about your topic to a clear thesis statement, which gives you a roadmap for the rest of your writing. Many students find that talking through their ideas with a tutor helps clarify their thinking before they even sit down to write.
Organization is where many essays fall apart. A tutor helps you build a logical structure by identifying your main argument, organizing supporting points, and ensuring each paragraph connects back to your thesis. They teach you how to create outlines that serve as blueprints, how to write topic sentences that guide your reader, and how to use transitions that show the relationship between ideas. With practice and feedback, you'll develop the ability to organize complex arguments clearly on your own.
Yes. Citation formatting can feel overwhelming, but tutors break it down into manageable pieces. Whether you need help with MLA, APA, or Chicago style, a tutor can show you how to cite sources correctly and help you understand the purpose behind proper attribution. They also help you integrate quotes and paraphrased material smoothly into your essay so citations feel natural rather than awkward—and your arguments stay strong.
Literary analysis requires you to move beyond just understanding what happened in a text to understanding how and why the author created meaning. Tutors help you develop close reading skills—identifying literary devices, understanding themes, and analyzing character motivation. They then guide you in translating these observations into a coherent argument with specific textual evidence. This turns your analysis into a compelling essay that shows deeper engagement with the material.
Revision is where good essays become great ones. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, tutors teach you to revise in layers: first looking at big-picture issues like thesis clarity and argument strength, then moving to paragraph organization and transitions, and finally polishing grammar and style. They also help you develop self-editing skills so you can evaluate your own work critically. With this strategic approach, you'll learn to revise efficiently and see real improvement in your writing.
