"So, you want or need to learn English? Congratulations! Just by looking for tutors, you have taken the first step on the road to improving your language skill! The second step is much longer and requires a lot of work. It is the difference between improving a little and improving a lot. But you will not fail, because learning a language only requires your time and effort. In my 25 years as an ESL teacher, I have found that there are no secret techniques or skills to learn English. I can only make your road shorter and easier to overcome, but you will still need to take the steps. If you have the desire and can make the effort, I can help you get to that goal.

I graduated with a BA in English from Cal State Long Beach in 1992, and have been teaching ESL for over 25 years. I also have a CELTA TESOL certificate. I have experience with all levels and subjects of ESL, and am a former TOEFL and current IELTS test rater.

I am available on most weekday afternoons and nights. Please contact me if you would like to set up an appointment." less...
