"Dear Student,

You have found a tutor who loves English grammar! Yes, that is possible. I enjoy making English clear to my students. I've taught non-English speakers of all ages, from all over the world, for more than 17 years. I have experience teaching all levels of students, with many different needs: I instructed engineers on clarifying production instructions, and I even helped a pro tennis player prepare for exams! My classes have included grammar, reading comprehension, writing, pronunciation, and American history and culture. I've played games with three-year olds, and had serious political discussions with a Saudi minister.

Language learning can be fun. I love to laugh. But I take your progress very seriously! We can work at your pace and comfort, but I will ensure your English improves steadily.

I had 3 years of Latin, 4 years of Spanish, classes in Italian and German during my years as a student, before I earned a BA in French/Linguistics. So, I know how one learns a foreign language! All this language study gave me a great understanding of grammar.

I love French! What a beautiful language! Magnifique! After I graduated with a BA in French, I traveled to France several times. I listen to French songs all the time. I have an in-law who exchanges letters with his French relatives and I translate all the letters for him.

So, get in touch with me! Let's get started! Times a wastin'!! (American idiom: it means "hurry up!")" less...
