Creative Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in North Chicago, IL

I have been an English and Writing tutor since my freshman year of high school. During my last year of undergraduate work at The Ohio State University I was an Academic Mentor for the “Miracle-Gro” Capital Scholars program and helped 35 high school seniors successfully apply and establish admittance into college. I helped construct and edit admissions essays while providing constructive and personal mentoring to each student. I am passionate about writing and continue to pursue it as a hobby and also in my graduate studies at DePaul University. I appreciate and welcome the opportunity to work with young people to help fine tune skills and talents each individual will use in his or her personal and professional endeavors. I currently am employed as a Graduate Assistant in DePaul University’s College of Education where I edit work on a daily basis. I edit for clarity and a concise mean

I feel like I can teach the most efficiently in a one-to-one setting. This allows me to tailor instruction to a student's particular needs. I received a B.A. in English from Northern Illinois University in 2010. I am a certified High School English teacher for grades 9-12. I took a class during my B.A. called Advanced Essay Composition and I feel like that shaped the way that I write; and took my practice to a whole new level. It is strategies and methods that I learned in this class that I try to incorporate in my writing and my teaching. I've worked in a residential/ school setting for the last three and a half years. I completed my student teaching in the spring of 2012 at Grayslake Central High School and a long term substitution assignment at Lakes Community High School in fall 2013. I will be finishing my Master's Degree in teaching over the summer of 2014.

I graduated from Columbia College of Chicago with a BA in Screenwriting, and I minored in Fiction Writing. Any form of writing, poetry or prose, film or television, is an absolute passion of mine. Can't get enough! In addition to my collegiate degree in writing, I've worked on multiple occasions with the Big Idea Writers Challenge as a judge. Our job was to review contestants' entries and provide professional notes and constructive criticism. I've also worked outside that field with many friends, classmates, and family members to give helpful critiques and extensive notes sessions. And I'd absolutely love to broaden those horizons and help anyone who can use what I've learned to better their writing! While I'm trying to keep my expressions on here as professional as I can, I'm actually quite a quirky character. I love to laugh and enjoy life, and I do my best to bring that to my teaching
