I have always loved English and the rules of grammar, and that passion was fostered by my immense love for books. Reading taught me, a native non-english speaker, how the English language worked. Ha... ving taken the ACT three different times, I have learned all the ins-and-outs of the ACT English section. I improved my score by 6 points, from a 29 to a 35. Having tips and tricks, supplemented by the passion for English and tutoring, I would love to share all my experiences.read more

Hi! My name is Marta, and I’m a first-year student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, studying Biology and Global Studies. I love to read, listen to music, and watch TV ;) I have been... a tutor for a little over a year, and I love watching my students realize their potential. Having struggled with math and english in the past, I understand firsthand what common mistakes and misconceptions are, and having gotten over that struggle, the best way to redirect thinking. I believe in developing personalized approaches to answering questions, whether math or english, that make sense to each student. I emphasize “thinking logically” in hopes of teaching from a more holistic perspective. Please let me know if I can do anything, or if you have any other further questions!read more
