elementary (k-6th) I have volunteered for junior achievement in the past, teaching third and fifth graders about business concepts. I have also tutored elementary students in math, reading and science. I feel that with all of my experiences working with youths and teaching them in the past, I am able to tutor in all K-6 subjects. ESL/ESOL My first language is Russian even though I am also fluent in English. Since I came here when I was very young I am able to understand those whose first language is not English and I can connect with them on that level. I also took five years of Spanish so I can better help someone whose first language is not English understand it better. general computer I have worked as an IT consultant for Construction Finance Corporation for several years. I am proficient in most Microsoft software including software developed by others. I am able to troubleshoot and work with most internet and e-mail programs such as explorer, netscape, outlook, outlook express and webmail. I can do tutorials on how to work with programs and their functions, and show students shortcuts that they can use to make their computer experience more user friendly. I also took computer applications and Visual Basic classes in college. grammar I was the Managing Editor and columnist of my law school newspaper. I have also been a tutor on brainmass.com for the past couple of years, both answered grammar questions and editing papers for grammar. I am able to distinguish between different parts of sentences and identifying correct sentence structure. law I am a licensed attorney in the state of Illinois and I also have my Northern District of Illinois license. I graduated from law school with a Juris Doctor and also worked as an attorney.

I have also had private students e-mail me papers to edit over the years. Since I am an attorney and have taken several years of writing including legal writing courses in law school, I proofread most research papers with ease as attorneys use a clear and concise writing style. I was the Managing Editor and regular columnist of our law school newspaper and I am being published in a Finance Journal by Icfai University for a paper I wrote on corporate responsibility Russian I was born in Minsk, Belarus and I speak fluent Russian. However, I came to the United States when I was six years old and I do not read or write in Russian except at a very elementary level. Nevertheless, if anyone wants to learn to speak Russian, I can definitely help them out because it is my native language. study skills I graduated college in three years and law school in two and a half. I have always been very organized and learned how to study well while carrying on a very high workload in school. I think I can help someone both organize their work as well as study effectively.
