More About This Tutor...

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.

My comments on tutoring Language Arts : I received a BA in English from The College of New Jersey, and afterwards worked for several years as a freelance contributor to a number of newspapers (especially Pioneer Press, a network of Chicago-area community papers) and magazines (especially Hybrid Magazine, an online music publication).

Hello! My name is Dan, and I am an intermediate-level chess player who has four years of experience teaching chess to beginning students, and also an English teacher with six-plus years of experience teaching ESL in Taiwan. I am very passionate about my teaching and love to share what I've learned with my students! I have been playing chess for about six years, and have studied the game seriously for most of that time. I have raised my skill level to roughly 1500, and am very confident teaching the basics of the game to beginning players. I play regularly in chess tournaments and am very passionate about learning and growing, as a teacher as well as a player. I have had experience as a writer and editor, and am qualified to teach various aspects of writing, reading, and English. I graduated from The College of New Jersey in 2003 with a degree in English, and my studies were prim ... read more

Reading Tutor

For four years I have worked as a Reading Specialist Assistant. I helped Kindergarten through fourth grade students learn to read. K-1st, I helped these students achieve the basic foundation of letter sounds to create new words. We also worked on fluency, expression and gaining reading speed. 2nd-4th, I helped these students comprehend the reading material and converse about various reading topics to engage their interest.
I enjoy making learning fun and try to find different ways to teach the material so that it is enjoyable for children.

Language Arts is one of my top subjects! In both school and work I have relied on advanced skill levels in writing and communication. As a substitute teacher and tutor, I have been able to enhance students' ability to express themselves. Additionally I have received training for instruction in this area in my pursuit of a K-8 teaching license.

My teaching style emphasizes intuition and adaptability to ensure a good fit between teaching and learning styles. Equal emphasis is placed on learning current material and the confidence for future learning. Teaching methods will vary depending on the skills, interests, and temperaments of each student.
Experience overview: 5-years experience as a substitute teacher, worked as a tutor for one year, volunteered to assist teachers in the classroom, and is in studying to become a licensed elementary teacher.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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 meani ... read more
