Experience
My students consistently show huge improvement in their ability to read and write in English. I shape my teaching to be unique for each of my students depending on their age, level, background, and personality. Whether you need a tutor for your child as they are learn to read, or for yourself as you write business emails, I can help you and your family succeed. I also offer personalized editing services, at the same per-hour rate as in-person tutorials. In addition to reading and writing, I provide tutoring in vocabulary building, grammar correction, conversation practice, pronunciation improvement, and test prep/study skills. Group rates are available--please contact me for more information about any of the above! I have been teaching English to adults and children since 2012, and have guided over 200 students toward success in their language learning goals. In addition to my extensive practical experience, I have earned both a Master's degree and a training certificate in TESOL.
