Chicago Tutoring

And Writing Services Worldwide


Academics

• Parents get tired trying to play "homework police."  You may not know the needed subject or how to teach it, or your children may resist your sage advice.  Having another adult help and reinforce your message can make all the difference, and free your time to attend to your other concerns.
• Schools do their best but cannot always provide as much individual attention as your students need to excel based on their own strengths.
• You want your children to get into their first-choice high school, college, and grad school and enjoy a feeling of confidence and success in life!

Math Tutoring

• Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus overwhelm many students but must be mastered to achieve high GPAs and standardized test scores.
• Reasoning and problem-solving strategies taught by our math tutors help students in all areas of education and financial management in adult life.

Reading, Writing, Science, and Languages

• Led by an award-winning writer and polyglot who began her teaching career in English as a Second Language (ESL) and ESL writing, YES specializes in getting students and adults up to speed in reading, writing, and languages.  Foreign languages we offer include Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, and Spanish. 
• YES tutors help students ace difficult science courses at all levels, including biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, genetics, organic chemistry, psychology, physics, quantitative research, and social studies.

ACT/SAT Prep

• Getting into the best high school, college, or grad school poses a challenge; admissions rely heavily on test scores.
• Test prep classes and high schools do not usually give personalized service and high-level, holistic attention to your student's success.
• Our tutors are among the most prepared and motivated in the industry, and all scored over the 90th percentile on the tests they teach.

Writing Services

• You want to write great papers for your courses but can't help the help you need from the instructor.
• You need to be able to give speeches about your company both in the proverbial elevator and in front of large groups.
• You have a fantastic non-profit organization that needs funding but don't know much about grant writing.
• You're tired of wasting your energy applying for jobs and being ignored, and wonder if your lackluster resume or stiff cover letters are really selling all the fabulous skills and experience you offer.
• You are an expert at what you do, but what you do is not writing a website or LinkedIn profile!

Life Goals

• Picking Up New Skills: You want to learn a foreign language, become a better writer, start your own business, or make a career change, but you know that leaving it up to self-teaching is the road to hell paved with good intentions.
• Financial Planning: You don't want your child to drop out of college or finish with a mountain of debt, but you're not a Rockefeller.  How on earth are you going to pay for college, keep up with other expenses, and continue saving for retirement?
• Life Organization: Your schedule and your space are cluttered and you find yourself unable to achieve your most basic tasks never mind your highest goals.  How can you sort out your brain, your time, and your activities are at once?
