Experience

Hi, I'm Jim, and I live in Skokie. I've been an active and excited learner in and out of school my whole life, and it's made me a caring and committed tutor, too. I particularly enjoy working with students planning for high-stakes university exams, school subjects, and all second-language English needs. With 16 years' teaching experience worldwide, an Illinois substitute teaching license, and advanced degrees in learning theories and second-language English teaching, I'm ready to help you bring your learning to the next level, effectively and comfortably ... no matter what your needs!
