"If you are eager to express yourself in English with fluency, accuracy, clarity, and confidence, I would love to help you. Mastering the English language is tough, but it can be great fun. Time spent working towards your English language goals is a sound investment in your personal, academic, and professional success.

I hold a master's degree in Adult Education with a concentration in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) and have over twenty years of experience in the field. As a teacher, university administrator, and online tutor I have taught and advised students from all over the globe from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds.

My greatest strength is my commitment to personalized teaching methods and study practices that ensure continuous progress outside the time we spend together. Mastering English requires you to live the language - a challenging task if you, like many, are stuck in a translation rut. Together we will create new study habits to enable achievement of your full potential. Sessions will be tailored to your personal interests and specific needs.

Popular offerings include the following:

Conversation (30, 45 or 60 mins): If you would like to maintain or improve your conversational skills we can work on vocabulary expansion, pronunciation, and grammar issues in a structured or flexible way, depending on your preference.

Accent Reduction (30 mins): Following an initial consultation, you complete and share a self-recording for my review and analysis. In turn, I provide a write-up of recommended sounds and speech patterns for targeted instruction and practice which guides our work together.

Proofreading & Editing: Resumes, papers, letters, etc. are shared as Google documents to be marked up with comments, corrections, and suggestions for your review. Alternately, your writing may be reviewed and discussed together in real time using Google Docs or a shared screen.

I look forward to hearing from you." less...
