Chris: Homewood tutor

Certified Tutor

Hi! I'm a recent graduate of DePaul University, where I worked as a Peer Writing Tutor for the campus Writing Center. During those three years I worked with nearly 500 writers, both online and in-person, offering feedback on outlines, papers, and strategies for writing. Through my experiences and professional training seminars, I've developed many strategies for helping writers realize their full potential as well as a tutoring philosophy that was nominated for an award at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. I'm here to help guide our students through their learning, not dictate to them or give them the "correct" answer, which is so often a moving target when it comes to essay writing. Collaboration is key, so let's work together!
