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.

Hobbies

My husband and I met while dancing, and we continue to dance blues, swing, and fusion together. We also enjoy having friends over for dinner and board games, or getting out of the city to appreciate nature through camping or hiking. In addition, we are very active in our local church, and try to volunteer when we can in our community.
