"A native speaker with an American college degree in English and Political Science, I've been teaching English to beginning and advanced students since 2012. I also score the speaking section of the TOEFL iBT, TOEFL Essentials, TOEIC and ELPAC exams and have prepared students to take international English exams including IELTS. Having worked 25 years in an executive capacity for financial services companies, I am well-equipped to help lawyers, business executives, scientists and other high-level professionals improve their business English.

I have taught thousands of hours of English to dozens of students over the past 11 years and consider myself to be an expert in the field. Some of my students have been with me for nine years or more and have become close friends. I enjoy watching their development and helping them achieve their goals.

My teaching career highlights include:

-TEFL certifications in 2012 and 2020

-11 years teaching children and adults worldwide

-10 years as an ETS rater for the speaking section of the TOEFL iBT

-Teaching advanced business English to senior executives, attorneys, scientists, IT professionals, reporters, air traffic controllers, military and other professionals

-Editing and proofreading websites, dissertations, reports, emails and other correspondence

-Preparing students to take TOEFL, TOEIC, TOEFL Essentials and IELTS exams

Whether you’re the parent of a young child just starting to learn English, a high-school student planning to attend university abroad, or a senior executive needing to improve your English to grow your business, I am eager to help you succeed. I’ll work with you to design a unique course of study to ensure you achieve all your academic and/or business goals." less...
