"Dear WyzAnt Students,

Words are my passion. The joy of being able to read is an adventure for which there is no competition.

Teaching the joy of reading and learning new vocabulary in English as well as French is my strength as an instructor. Preferably my students are high school students to adults of any age. Learning to read and escape into literature is a joy.

As a former ESL teacher at a local University, I taught ESL students English reading, writing and pronunciation. When given the class time opportunity, I introduced or discussed famous painters, philosophers, and classical literature from all countries. It was exciting to see young and older adults become enthusiastic about learning to read, converse and write in our language. My favorite series is Reading Explorer which allows the student to explore words, their usage in grammar, begin the process of English comprehension. I have beginning, intermediate, and advanced grammar books to help explain word placement, parts of speech, and their proper position in sentences. We will cover all English grammar for each level. In addition, I have other supplemental books, which include writing and vocabulary exercises. Whether you are a complete beginner or intermediate level English student, I have the texts available or you can bring texts that are part of the curriculum being pursued at your school. By reading "out loud", we will learn proper English/American pronunciation, and we will study vocabulary and learn to write sentences and paragraphs.

My former German students will be happy to speak with you about their success through my tutelage.

If you are needing assistance with your French school work, I am happy to help you master Beginning and Intermediate French. Mostly my students at a local tutoring school have been middle school, high school and college age. Bring your school texts, homework, tests and essays. We will polish your skills and help you obtain the A's that you are looking for to complete your language requirements. My Bachelor o" less...
