Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Elmwood Park, IL

Hello, my name is Vanessa and I have tutored students for almost three years. I tutor ages 5 to adult. When I begin tutoring a student, I perform an evaluation in order to determine the areas they need help. I adjust my teaching style in order to suit the student's learning style. I also provide parents with progress reports. My goal is to help students improve their skills and gain confidence.

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 have significant experience working with teens in a classroom setting. I taught English in public secondary schools on the island of Guadeloupe in 2009-2010, and for the past four summers, I have worked for the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy, a French immersion program for high school students. This summer, in addition to teaching a four-week French Level I class, I designed and taught a seven-day elective course called “Making the Museum,” in which we critically examined the roles of artist and curator through exploration of museum websites, discussion of contemporary Francophone artists, and studio projects. I have also worked as a French teacher for parents and their young children at Multilingual Chicago in Logan Square, and substitute taught adult classes at their center as well.

I have experience as an online journalist, essay writer, local news reporter, certified elementary school teacher and music teacher. I have published many interviews, book and music reviews and worked with children and young adults. I have also taught ESL for many years and designed curriculum guides for many student levels.

Currently teaching linguistics at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, I have also been teaching and tutoring English grammar and writing as well as ESL. Most recently I was involved in the English program that Northwestern offers its incoming Kellogg School international students (ACE Program) and the more general intensive English program that the Linguistics Department offers non-Kellogg graduate students from abroad (International Summer Institute). I have also taught abroad, in Japan, and I currently offer editing and writing services for fee. I work to address students' desires and needs and focus on those, encouraging students to perform. My attitude is more positive, looking for strengths and developing confidence and success, rather than spending a lot of time and effort on more technical details, which in any case can always be addressed as need arises.
