"I have a BA and MA in English Lit and the equivalent of an MEd. I am also a qualified ELL teacher. I taught in Middle and High Schools (public and private) for more than 40 years. I have taught in London, England, Phoenix, Arizona, and British Columbia, Canada -- as well as in Houston, Texas where I first became a certified teacher. I am certified to teach in Arizona, British Columbia, and the United Kingdom. I have been tutoring for 29 years and I tutored part-time when I was teaching full-time. I have experience teaching the IB program, IELTS, TOEFL, SAT prep. I am a writing expert. I love working with my students. You will notice a significant improvement."
