"I have a Master's Degree in ESL and I have been teaching English as a Second Language at colleges, adult schools, vocational schools, private schools, and tutoring one to one and online for over 20 years.

For Elementary 2-6, I can help with homework, improve reading speed and skills based on pronunciation help and focus on syllables, unusual spellings, and rhythm of the language. I give fun graphic diagrams to plan writing stories.

For adults, your confidence in the English language is my goal. You need to feel at ease speaking. That is important to me. Because you are not a native speaker, there are cultural expressions and vocabulary that you may not have learned in your ESL courses. I observe and record your grammatical speech to help correct any verb tenses. You can confide in me with your concerns with the language and I will help you overcome them. I will be available to you at any time when you are writing an email, business letter, or have a grammar question for an essay.

I have a warm, caring personality. I am flexible with scheduling. I will drive 8-10 miles to meet you at home, coffee shop, or the library. I have many resource materials, books, tapes, videos, online sites available to help assist your English growth. I will research the specific information you need for your workplace needs.

I consider myself your friend, as well as your tutor, to help you learn and gain fluency in English." less...
