English (ESL)

Hi, I'm Nedra. I love teaching! I have over 19 years of experience in the education field. I have a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (English) & an Associate of Science in Teacher Education, as well as several graduate courses in Education Administration. I am also TEFL certified, through Premier TEFL. My professional skills range from teaching preschoolers, elementary age kids, middle school kids, and adults, and includes many subjects, with ESL being my primary focus. I have experience teaching students who have a special need, as well as students with challenging behaviors.  I have a love for the English language, which is the drive that pushes me to utilize my expertise to help students become better writers and readers. I look forward to working with anyone who needs to reach short or long term goals. Private lessons with me are the way to improve your writing skills, research skills, and reading comprehension, so be sure to check out the subject area on my profile. Moreover, if you need to pass the IELTS or the TOEFL, book me for some private sessions, so that I can assist you in the learning process. My ESL group classes serve as a supplement to these tests, but note: they are not designed to cover material in detail on these tests. Hopefully I'll see you in the classroom!
