"As an experienced educator and advisor, I’m passionate about helping students reach their fullest potential, whether that means mastering English grammar, excelling on standardized tests, or gaining confidence for an upcoming job interview. I hold teaching certifications in English and English as a Second Language (ESL) from the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education, as well as a U.S. Immigration Law Certificate from the University of Pennsylvania. My educational background and professional experience allow me to support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds with patience, clarity, and care.

Over the past several years, I have tutored students ranging from elementary through adult learners in subjects including English, ESL/ESOL, writing, reading comprehension, and standardized test preparation (SAT, ACT, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS). My teaching style is adaptive and student-centered. I tailor each session to the learner’s goals, learning pace, and preferred study methods. I also help students strengthen their communication and presentation skills, providing feedback that promotes confidence and professionalism in academic and career settings.

Beyond academic instruction, I enjoy mentoring students through the broader process of personal and professional growth. Whether assisting with college essays, interview preparation, or public speaking, I emphasize clarity of thought and authentic self-expression. My goal is to help students not only achieve higher scores and stronger writing but also discover their own voice and confidence as learners." less...
