Liza L.

Private tutor in Chicago, IL

Education

I obtained my high school diploma from the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools with an unweighted GPA of 3.9. Currently, I am at Columbia University in New York studying English literature.

Experience

I have been tutoring since the eight grade and have ample experience with homework help. I have tutored sixth graders as a volunteer at Nettlehorst Elementary school in Lakeview, and I have also tutored privately. Although I excel in the humanities, I will be glad to help your child with math this summer to gain preparation for the coming school year. I am fluent in Russian and have taken nine years of Spanish and four years of French. I will be happy to help your child with any of the four languages. I love sharing my knowledge with others and watching kids develop as I teach. It is a joy to see that my hard work has paid off! I am looking to work with Chicagoland kids this summer for one last time before I take up tutoring in New York. I will be available to start tutoring after June 11th with very flexible hours. I will also be willing to negotiate hourly rates. SAT: 2260 SAT Literatures: 800 SAT Spanish: 780 SAT Math Level 2: 740 AP English Literature: 5 AP Spanish Literature: 5

Hobbies

I have a special interest in Creative Writing and will love to work with any blossoming young writers out there! In my spare time also I love to read (some of my favorite authors are George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy, and William Faulkner). I ran for my school's varsity team and am very engaged in athletics, which has helped me develop perserverence: I find that this skill often helps me in the classroom. Finally, I love to sing and enjoy the cultural side of life: I am an avid theater and opera-goer.
