"I'm Ciara, and I'm looking forward to working with you! I completed my bachelor's degree with honors at the University of Oxford, where I majored in English Language and Literature, and my master's degree at the University of Chicago, also with a concentration in English. I'm passionate about making English an accessible subject for everyone, and this affects every part of my tutoring style--from my multiple strategies for outlines to helping students come up with a thesis they are truly passionate about!

I want to make sure that students feel prepared for whatever their next step is, whether that's this semester's grades or college admissions. English is a broad subject, so I'm always willing to be flexible with what we're covering that day-it could be a close reading assignment, a paper, a presentation, test prep, or a college admissions essay.

I'm looking forward to working with you soon--please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!

I have six years experience tutoring in English Language and Literature, including preparation for the SAT and both AP exams. I achieved a score of 5 on both, as well as a 780 on both the SAT reading and writing sections (2400 scoring system). I have worked with a wide variety of clients, ranging from elementary school to collegiate courses, and I emphasize reading comprehension and essay structure across all ages.

I also have six years experience tutoring in a wide range of history disciplines, focusing on middle and high school curricula. I achieved a score of 5 on both World and European AP history exams, and would be thrilled to work in this field as well--whether it's more general history coursework or preparation for a specific test. I believe in material access, so all of my students receive copies (handwritten or digitized) of our work that day. I'm also happy to provide copies to parents who might want them. I'm looking forward to working with you soon--please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
