Tutoring Locations

When the pandemic began, I transitioned to 100% online tutoring.  Most of my students and parents have come to prefer the convenience of online tutoring.  I am also better able to schedule students and offer a far greater choice of meeting times.  At present, I have no immediate plans to return to in-person tutoring.  I will update this page when I do.  

Skype or Zoom can be an effective solution for students who cannot meet with me in person.  By using a combination of Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Classroom, and a reliable video meeting platform, I am able to I work with students from all over the United States.

Most of the college students I work with use online tutoring for help with essays and term papers.  Online tutoring can also be effective for SAT and ACT prep.  As a general rule, most students perform better in a face-to-face environment.  Nonetheless, online instruction can be a suitable alternative if meeting in person is simply not possible. 

The hourly rat​e for online tutoring is calculated based only on the live online time that the student and I actually spend together.  I do not charge any additional fees for texting, emailing, editing writing assignments, and providing books and other study materials. 

Because I am located in Libertyville, I tutor primarily at Cook Memorial Library in Libertyville and Cook Aspen in Vernon Hills. As my schedule permits, I also tutor at Vernon Area Library in Lincolnshire, Warren-Newport Library in Gurnee, and Ela Library in Lake Zurich.

All these library locations offer students the option of tutoring sessions in a private, quiet learning environment equipped with tables and chairs, white boards, and free WiFi.

Each library has its own policy regarding the use of study rooms, but these rooms can be reserved in advance. Once we have a scheduled meeting time, I will take care of all study room bookings and insure we have a private room. 

In-Home Tutoring​​

As of March 2020, I no longer offer in-home tutoring.  By meeting either online or at one of the local libraries, I am better able to accept new students and provide a greater choice of meeting times.
