"As a returned Peace Corps Volunteer and EFL teacher, I have taught with everything from blackboard and chalk in classrooms with no electricity in Samoan villages, to online tutoring 1:1 with English language learners. I have worked with students to reach their goals with everything from basic reading skills and phonics, to preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT, IELTS, and ACT. I have a degree in English Literature, a CELTA certification for teaching English as a foreign language, and a Massachusetts State Teaching License for English in grades 5-12.

This wide range of experience and qualifications enables to me to adapt to help my students reach their goals, whatever they may be. I can help you prepare to write an effective essay for the SAT in the same way I have helped my Korean students prepare to write essay for their standardized tests. I can help you understand spoken English and improve your conversational fluency in the same way I have helped my Chinese students build their speaking skills. I can help you understand English grammar in the same way I have helped my Samoan students understand the details of English tenses.

As a tutor, I can meet you where you are and draw on my experiences and qualifications to help you meet your goals, whatever they may be." less...
