Description
A second-pair of eyes can be invaluable in all types of writing. My specialties are college-level writing as well as ESL writing support. I do online copy editing and proofreading for clients in the Chicago area who prefer this convenience. I also offer one-on-one tutoring for students whose goal is to develop better writing techniques (northside of Chicago).
Send a sample of your document and I will provide an estimate. Rates are very reasonable: charged on an hourly basis, dependent upon the complexity of the work, and turn-around time needed.
I look forward to working with you!

ESL, tutoring
Description
I have several years experience in one-on-one teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL). Whether you have recently arrived in the United States, or you have lived here for a number of years in a community where English is not the first spoken language, I can improve your skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar. I have experience with beginners who have been in the US for as little as one month to advanced students needing help with college-level writing. I work in individual sessions, preferably on the north side of Chicago.
For an estimate, please reply indicating your native language, your current level of experience with English and your language goals. We can then hold an introductory meeting (at no charge) to better evaluate your needs. I look forward to working with you.

Keywords for this Skill
Tutor, English, Biology
Description
I offer support in one-on-one sessions with high school students who need improvement in English or Biology.
Services provided in the areas of composition, grammar, and reading comprehension.
Biology sessions aim to give the student clarity in the concepts of the biological sciences using the student’s own texts. This results in easier retention of the many facts that must be incorporated for success in science courses.
Services provided on the north side of Chicago. I arrange hourly rates on an individual basis after an introductory evaluation (at no charge).
I prefer to hold meetings in a local café or library. Cash payments only, upon receipt of services.
Please contact me for an estimate and a questionnaire designed to target your student’s needs.
I look forward to working with you!
