As many of you know, I’m an English tutor for students in the Stevenson High School district (Long Grove, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire), Vernon Hills, Libertyville, and other suburbs. I’ve spent my Saturdays and Wednesday nights working with students since Lydia was two months old! As much as I love hanging out with my little ones, it’s very rewarding getting out of the house to talk about clauses and topic sentences in great detail. (I am not being sarcastic. I get very jazzed when a student and a semicolon click.)
Today I had a little bit of everything:ACT, vocabulary, expository essays, and an application essay for law school. Throw in some M&Ms for Halloween, and I’d say it was a successful learning experience for all!
