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

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.

I have tutored extensively with students of all ages and of diverse backgrounds. I believe teaching should be based on each student's individual method of learning. Thus, I have always adapted to each student to find effective teaching methods. I also believe in short term assessments to make sure the student is not only memorizing concepts, but learning to apply them in test-taking situations. Teaching through example is particularly important for me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure the student is learning the material in a practical way. - Bachelors of Science Degree (2016) ---- Loyola University Chicago, Major: Bioinformatics, Minor: Chemistry - Masters of Arts in Medical Sciences (2018) ---- Loyola University Chicago - MCAT score: 514 - ACT score: 30 - Led independent research project during undergraduate on evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, and morphology - Ext
