"I am a compassionate instructor and tutor with more than 8 years experience teaching ESL, writing, and public speaking skills to college students from countries all over the world. I specialize in helping students improve their academic writing, so they can be more successful in their college courses. Students may need help with research, formulating a thesis, grammar, clarity, organization, or citing their sources. No question is too small or too large. I enjoy helping students improve, no matter where they are in the writing process.

My training as an instructor/tutor includes a Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) from International House in Prague, as well as a Master's degree in TESL/TEFL from University of Birmingham in England. Undergraduate courses at Hampshire College and the University of Minnesota include literature, comparative literature, cultural, and film studies.

I encourage you to find an instructor that works best for your personality! If you are ready to work hard--but need additional structure, support, encouragement, and lots of feedback on your writing--I would be a good tutor choice for you. Contact me with your questions and to schedule a lesson!" less...
