Student-centered English lessons with a teacher that has 22 years of teaching experience

I create your lessons from your interests and needs - so they are customized to keep you interested. In the field of Education, this is called "engagement", meaning your mind and emotions have a *reason* to remember the English you learn from me! But why believe what I say? I'll let one of my students speak for herself: "Orville is a great teacher! I have enjoyed both his private and group classes. And trust me, in almost 8 years of study, I have had a LOT of teachers. He’s extremely personable and has excellent tips for remembering new words and phrases!" - K.J. To get results like the ones above (fun lessons and excellent tips!), contact me now to begin!

I am extremely pleased with the English classes I had over the course of 15 days. Orville, was exceptional in his work and his ability to explain the language in a clear and understandable way. The classes were always enjoyable and interesting, and I greatly appreciated how he tailored the content to my personal interests, making the learning even more relevant and engaging for me. His keen observation in correction and his pleasant personality make me highly recommend him to any student looking to improve their English.

Orville is a great tutor; he is patient, and his technique is conducive to learning, by guiding you through what you already know and expanding on that knowledge. I enjoy working with him.

In addition to teaching, I interpret (translate the *spoken* word) for doctors and patients to provide understanding between them. It's a dance between English and Spanish - and it blends well with my language teaching (see below)!
