Danielle
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +25 Subjects
My name is Danielle and I recently moved to Chicago where I have completed my coursework in becoming a full-time teacher and have passed all necessary professional knowledge and subject exams. My certification comes from Rio Salado College in Phoenix, Arizona. While waiting for my teaching license I have utilize this time productively by becoming a substitute teacher. As a substitute teacher, I have gained further experience and knowledge in regards to helping students succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. Not only did I serve as the instructor when the teacher was absent, I also spent time providing one-on-one support and instruction.Throughout my courses and time substituting, I have learned that as a teacher you need to able to adapt to your student's needs. To help overcome this challenge I utilized my strength and ability to think outside of the box to provide the assistance and instruction necessary for success. With this ability, I have been able to look at the big picture and adapt myself so not to conform to the saying "one size fits all". Instead I have been able to adapt myself and think outside of the box to help those students who may need special assistance or even just additional help. It is this ability that has made me successful, as both a student teacher and substitute teacher, as it allowed me to ensure each student had the understanding of concepts before moving forward.Another challenge that I have noticed throughout my observation that as students it is easy to be overlooked. It is my mission to see that none of my students fall through the cracks and are provided the necessary remediation, distinction, and extension for success. One way I will help achieve that goal is to be the influential individual that I know I am. With this behavior, I will make sure that no student is left behind as we begin our trek up the mountain of education. And to help keep the students' enthusiasm about their education we will celebrate "wins" along the way.I look forward to this experience ahead and serving as a tutor for all future students.

My name is Nick. I am currently a Sophomore at the University of Portland. I am in the National Honors Society since high school and I have been tutoring ever since. I love helping students understand tough subjects and seeing them progress as the year progresses. Being able to help others is truly wonderful, and I hope I am able to push students who are having a difficult time in the right direction.

Daniela
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +20 Subjects
Growing up tri-lingual (fluent in German, Swiss German, and English) and having lived in 3 different countries in my life, but primarily growing up in the U.S., has instilled in me a love, curiosity and passion for languages, people of different nationalities and of course teaching. As well as the internationally recognized University of Cambridge based CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) certificate, I have 10 years of experience teaching English as a Second Language (of various subjects- i.e. grammar, writing, pronunciation, speaking, conversational, college prep etc.); TOEFL Test Prep and German.I have taught in Switzerland, New York City and now here in Atlanta at various organizations and schools. The most recent schools I have had the pleasure of teaching here in Atlanta include: Interactive College of Technology, Education First, TALK Language Center, Alta Language Services and more. I have experience teaching private one on one lessons, as well as group classes. I find that one on one lessons are much more beneficial for the student since the student receives my complete attention and together, we have the ability and flexibility to tailor the lessons to his or her specific language goals.

Lewis
Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects
As a tutor and teacher, it is always my goal to present material as clearly as possible and, whenever possible, have students think out for themselves what the problem at hand is and what possible solutions are. I have worked with a wide variety of students including children and adults, native and nonnative speakers, with various goals for improving their English language abilities, foreign language, math skills and other challenges. I hope students find me approachable and that I will work hard to help them get through any obstacles in the topic they choose to have me teach or tutor them. I certainly can put myself in the place of others, as I have in the past relied on tutors to get me through some tough topics.As for other interests outside tutoring, I am very interested in languages and linguistics, as I currently teach graduate and undergraduate linguistics at Northeastern Illinois University. Outside my day job, I run and bike, and I'm interested in astronomy, nature, history and Shakespeare!
June
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +60 Subjects
In an educational climate increasingly reliant on the power of the scantron, I believe that learning should exist beyond the small, graphite-dark bubbles that are as dull as the knowledge they are supposedly able to convey is exciting. I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Graduate-level writing demands a significant shift from undergraduate work. Students often struggle with developing sophisticated arguments that contribute to their field, managing complex source integration while maintaining their own voice, and meeting the rigorous citation and formatting standards required at the graduate level. Many writers also face challenges with self-editing—it's difficult to objectively critique your own work when you're deeply invested in it. Additionally, graduate students frequently grapple with perfectionism and writer's block when tackling high-stakes projects like theses or dissertations.
Tutors provide targeted feedback on the specific aspects of your writing that need development, whether that's thesis clarity, argument construction, evidence integration, or stylistic polish. Rather than generic suggestions, personalized instruction focuses on your unique writing challenges and goals. Tutors can work with you through the entire writing process—from brainstorming and outlining through revision—helping you develop strategies for organizing complex ideas, maintaining academic voice, and refining arguments. This one-on-one approach accelerates improvement because feedback is immediate and personalized to your writing style and discipline.
A graduate thesis must make a specific, arguable claim that contributes meaningfully to your field—it's not enough to simply summarize existing knowledge. Your thesis should be narrow enough to manage within your project scope but significant enough to warrant extended treatment. The process typically involves deep engagement with existing scholarship, identifying gaps or tensions in the literature, and positioning your argument as an original contribution. Tutors help you test whether your thesis is sufficiently focused and defensible, work through the logic of your argument, and refine your claim as your research deepens and your thinking evolves.
Effective source integration goes beyond simply inserting quotes or paraphrases—your sources should support and strengthen your argument, not overshadow it. Graduate writing requires balancing your voice with proper attribution, choosing between direct quotes and paraphrases strategically, and explaining how each source connects to your main point. Managing citations consistently in APA, MLA, Chicago, or discipline-specific formats is essential and often complex. Tutors can review your citation practices, help you understand the reasoning behind formatting rules, ensure consistency throughout your work, and teach you strategies for organizing sources and tracking citations efficiently.
Effective revision at the graduate level typically happens in multiple passes, each focused on different elements. Start with big-picture concerns: Does your argument flow logically? Are your claims well-supported? Then move to paragraph-level organization and clarity. Finally, address sentence-level issues like word choice, style, and grammar. Many writers benefit from stepping away from their work before revising—fresh eyes catch problems you've become blind to. Tutors help you develop a revision strategy tailored to your writing habits, provide detailed feedback on specific sections, and teach you techniques for evaluating your own work objectively so you can revise independently on future projects.
Academic voice is the intersection of your authentic perspective and the conventions of scholarly writing in your field. It means writing with authority and clarity while maintaining a formal tone appropriate to graduate work. Many writers worry that meeting academic standards means sacrificing personality, but the goal is to sound like a knowledgeable, credible expert in your field—not to become robotic. This involves making intentional choices about vocabulary, sentence structure, and tone that reflect both disciplinary expectations and your own analytical perspective. Tutors can help you understand the conventions of your specific field, identify where your voice is getting lost, and develop a writing style that feels both authentically yours and appropriately academic.
With consistent, focused tutoring, you can expect clearer, more compelling arguments; improved organization and logical flow; more effective use of evidence; stronger control of grammar and style; and greater confidence in your writing process. Most importantly, you'll develop transferable skills—strategies for thesis development, revision techniques, and self-editing practices you can apply to any future writing project. The timeline for improvement varies depending on where you're starting and your specific goals, but students typically notice meaningful gains in a few sessions and substantial progress over several weeks of regular work. The goal is to help you become a stronger, more independent writer who can tackle complex writing challenges with confidence.
