Finding Your Inner Writer Effortlessly: Starts Here.

I am direct. I like to help the student find what is inside of them and write it. I am compassionate and challenging. There is an inner writer in all of us and I like to guide and help the student discover their true abilitiy effortlessly.
I began my college journey as an English major. I decided to switch to Elementary Education to be able to reach future writers before they lost the love for it. I have worked with all ages from toddlers to seniors in high school. I have been published in world wide devotional for women along with a world wide magazine. I have taught writing in schools to children who were struggling as well. Writing is who I am. My passion has been there since I first learned how to write in Kindergarten.

I have a Bachelors in English from Dominican University. I began A Plus Master Tutoring Center over 4 years ago and was teaching in my home. Now we have expanded to a center in Oak Park and we tutor all ages, from Pre-K to adults. Our subjects range from phonics to algebra. Our teaching styles vary from a 3:1 ratio, which would include up to three students and one tutor, or a 1:1 ratio which would be a private session with a student and a tutor. Session prices range from $25-$27 depending on the type of session. We pride ourselves in being an affordable tutoring center compared with the prices of Huntington and Sylvan learning centers. Our tutoring center works with all types of children and we are proud of the work we put forth.

I graduated from Oregon State University this year with double Honors BS degrees in Earth Science (with a Climatology focus) and Environmental Economics & Politics. I also have a Minor in Political Science. My Honors Thesis, which is in the final stages of submission, is on the testing of a new variable mixing efficiency variable for use in our current climate models. I am an inductee of Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious college Honors Society in the US. In high school, I almost exclusively took honors classes and AP classes.

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : 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!

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. I'm not the serious, shove-your-nose-to-the-grindstone type teacher, because I earnestly believe people learn better in a relaxed, fun environment. I'm here to help YOU better comprehend what you're not fully understanding or even covering in a classroom setting. I adjust my pace and cater my lessons to meet each individual student's needs and wants.
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 e ... read more

I love teaching students to master English and writing.

I have many years of writing experience mainly in creative writing such as fiction, poetry, and screenwriting. This is in addition to my B.A and M.A. degrees in English and writing. I have also published poetry, won awards for writing and am finishing a book of short stories. I feel that writing is at the heart of many fields and mastery is key to advancing in career and educational goals.
I have a laid back teaching style, helping the students find the answers so that they have the knowledge to master any task related to English and writing.

More About This Tutor...

I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise. Furthermore, and in spite of the fact that I do not understand this most bothersome phenomenon, children instinctively enjoy my company, which is ironic, because I try my hardest to keep them away from my physical person at all times. I know, also, that 'applicants', or whate ... read more
