"With more than twenty years of experience teaching in a variety of capacities, I can help you improve your English conversation, grammar, literacy, reading comprehension, test scores, essay writing, business writing, vocabulary, listening skills, and confidence using English the way you envision for yourself. I have experience working with middle school, high school, college students and adults. I have been working as a Special Education teacher in a high school setting for more than a decade in the New York City Public Schools, but I have many years of experience teaching overseas and have a masters degree in TESOL as well. Whatever your goals are for using English--whether for business, travel, academics--whether you are searching for a tutor for your child who needs to improve test scores and grades in school--I can help you meet goals, improve literacy, reading comprehension, critical thinking and analysis, and confidence in any situation where you may encounter English in your life.

I have experience teaching business English and conversational English, TOEFL and SAT prep, English for academic purposes, and English literature and composition. These varied experiences mean I have a lot to draw from in tailoring individualized lessons that are based on you or your learner's needs and goals.

As a tutor, my primary objective is to help you or your learner to meet your goals in a learner-centered, learner-specific way. We can use materials that you choose, or you can depend on me to find or create materials that are suitable for you. Whatever your reasons are for wanting to study or work on your English, whether for professional or academic purposes, I can help you reach the goals you have set out for yourself. Please feel free to email me with any questions, to request references, or for an interview or trial lesson." less...
