I am an energetic and dedicated high school English teacher with over ten years of experience. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in English from the University of Illinois, and I hold a Master’s in Education with a concentration in Reading and Literacy from Benedictine University. I have taught all levels of high school, including College Grammar and Composition, AP Literature and Composition and AP Language and Composition.

I enjoy tutoring because it gives students a chance to examine their own work closely with the teacher. Coaching students through the writing process and helping them transform their work is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. In my spare time, I enjoy reading all types of books, cooking healthy dinners for my family, and running with my dog, Mindy.

Experienced, Skilled, Patient, and Flexible English Tutor for AP Language & Composition and AP Literature & Composition

Rebecca has been extremely helpful preparing my two sons for both their AP Lang Exam last year and their AP Lit Exam this year. She is well-prepared and responds to the needs of each student. She helps to not only develop their skillset and prepare them for academic success, but with kindness and patience, she helps build their confidence too. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much! I am glad to help!

Amazing!

Rebecca is encouraging and positive. We are lucky to have her helping my child learn to write. Rebecca is prompt, easy to work with and my child enjoys her. Learning to write requires a lot of dialogue and Rebecca has a nice rapport with my young writer.

Tremendously helpful, organized, and thoughtful

My daughter enjoys working with Rebecca in her AP Literature studies. Rebecca is tremendously helpful, organized, and thoughtful. She frequently checks in to ensure she understands my daughter's AP Literature goals and needs and actively targets those areas when tutoring her. We are very thankful for Rebecca. She is wonderful.

Great last-minute help for AP English Lang

Rebecca was a God-sent help! My daughter needed help in the middle of the night with the AP Lang rhetorical analysis writing which was due in the morning. I sent a tutoring request at midnight and she responded at 2 am!!! She gave lots of helpful feedback on the writing in no time and we are very grateful for her!!! Thank you so much, Rebecca!!!

I'm glad my insomnia helped someone! It was my pleasure to give her some feedback. I appreciate the kind words, and feel free to reach out if she needs any more help.

Great AP Lang Tutor

She was a wonderful tutor. Helped break down the parts of the essay to help my kid finish an assignment. She made the assignment clear and helped with skills that will work on the ap exam that was not taught in class.

Amazing AP English Language Tutor

Rebecca was extremely organized and helped me improve my FRQs and essays for AP English Language. I think I have a good strategy for test day and have the skills now for the complexity point. She was able to easily break down rhetorical techniques to help me gain a better understanding. We worked through lots of practice worksheets and techniques over Google Classroom.
