Hi! My name is Emily, and I've been tutoring for 6+ years as a Writing Tutor. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Roosevelt University and currently work as an editor/formatter for The Urban Writers, a ghostwriting platform for self-published books. I began tutoring in high school and now have coached countless students through high-scoring papers and assignments, scholarship-winning essays, and established doctoral theses. I've tutored papers on many different subjects, including English, psychology/social sciences, and history, and have a strong background in creative writing and journalism. I'm an expert in different essay types, including compare-and-contrast, persuasive, narrative, critical, and cause-and-effect essays. I'm also well-versed in APA, AP, MLA, and Chicago styles and can easily help with citations, references, and footnotes.

Whether you're in the pre-writing or the proofreading stage, you can expect a thoughtful, rigorous examination of your paper that will identify the strong spots and fortify the weak spots, guiding you to craft an impenetrable, well-informed argument. I approach tutoring with an encouraging yet direct attitude and will often challenge you to think outside your comfort zone. I believe in a flexible approach that takes into account your academic needs and preferences, while still emphasizing accountability, structure, and progress. In the end, my goal is for you to learn how to push and challenge yourself so that you can create comprehensive, educated writing you can be proud of.

I do not use AI programs or AI-generated content when tutoring and will not accept students who use generative AI as part of their writing process. Exceptions will be made ONLY if the assignment specifically calls for AI-usage or it is absolutely necessary for your learning needs.

Approved Subjects

Acting

Acting

I am a professional actor in Chicago with a BFA in Musical Theatre with a Dance Concentration from Roosevelt University. I have extensive experience in monologue work, scene work, audition technique, voice and speech, and theatre history and have taught students of all ages and experience levels. Whether you're an actor looking for audition coaching or someone looking to build their confidence through acting, I can help you achieve your goals through patient, supportive coaching.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

As a tutor of 6+ years, I have worked with many creative writing students to develop a unique story that represents their vision, creativity, and voice. I approach creative writing as an exploration, constantly engaging with you to figure out the whos, wheres, whens, whys, and hows to make your story as detailed and solid as possible. As a professional book editor and formatter, I also have a lot of experience reading through books to check for storyline inconsistencies, formatting errors, and understanding what works when it comes to engaging an audience. No matter the writing stage you're in, I create a collaborative, engaging process that will inspire you to create.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As a professional editor and writing tutor, I will work with you to develop an insightful, eloquent essay that thoughtfully and thoroughly answers the prompt with confidence, perceptiveness, and ingenuity. I approach the writing process as an exploration, constantly asking questions and challenging you to dig deeper, whether that be in your research or your opinions. So whether you're looking for someone to help develop ideas or for someone to proofread a final draft for grammar and punctuation, I'm here to help you create a polished product that you can be proud of.
Piano

Piano

As a pianist of over 20 years, I've worked with several well-established music schools in and around Chicago, and currently offer private lessons, both in-home and virtually. I have a wide range of experience in different genres, such as classical, folk, musical theatre, and pop/rock, and I teach any age/experience level. I teach according to the student's needs, so if you're looking to improve your technique, expand your theory knowledge, get help with an upcoming audition, or start from scratch, I will tailor our lessons to best benefit you.
