Tutor in Rockford, Illinois

I offer tutoring in history and English (composition, grammar, creative writing, etc...) for students who want a more comprehensive understanding of the subject. I utilize the Socratic method of tutoring because it encourages the student to take a proactive approach in fully learning the subject. I focus on helping students find the underlying system behind specific facts, which enables them to go beyond merely memorizing information in order to pass a test. As a published author, blogger, and freelance editor, I have a strong background in both academic and creative writing. I help students learn and apply grammar rules, create well-structured works, and refine their writing by using classic style techniques. My rate is $25/hour, for tutoring within the Rockford area. Additional fees may be added for driving costs if outside this area. I offer an initial meeting and first hour of tutoring free so that you can determine if this is a good fit for your student.
