Oradell, NJ English Lessons

Understanding.

Having previously worked in publishing, I have a unique eye when it comes to writing. I am experienced in helping students achieve their best in a variety of English fields. For example, I am just as comfortable tutoring college-level English as I am high-school literature/English. I currently teach ESL and English classes to graduate and undergraduate students at St. John's University. I have a strong passion for all aspects of English, and try to instill that passion in my students!

I love words, the concepts behind grammar, the art of communication. As a journalist, I have enjoyed writing about dance and film, as well as writing proposals, and film festival programs, radio scripts, and interviews.

Whether it's for English as a second language or College level papers, English is nothing more than a few words with rules on how to put them together, then once you learn them, you can creatively arrange them together to even make beautiful works of literature. I will break down your problem areas and make sure you have a strong grasp on what needs improvement. I learn languages for fun, English being the second language I learned and became fluent in, so I can help non-natives more than most because I can relate to their mistakes and may even have learned their language. I also work as a Freelance Copywriter and I have two minors in creative writing and copy writing that I got when I was getting my BFA in Graphic Design, so if you want to write copy or write creatively I will be more than happy to help.

I have been working with non-native English speakers for over 15 years as both an instructor and university administrator/academic advisor. When we meet for the first time, I will take the time to get to know you, learn your goals, and work with you to establish an action plan for improvement based on your learning style and interests. I am passionate about helping others master English and I look forward to hearing from you.

Whether you need help with an analytical essay, in class essay, grammar, or another aspect of academic English, we will work together to interpret the assignment and plan the best course of action. For writing this includes outlining, planning and writing, time management, and keeping productive habits.

English is my native language and I aced it throughout my entire education. Do you need to learn basic conversational English or help writing those term papers? I can help!

I have assisted in teaching Anatomy & Physiology and Medical Terminology as well as Infection Control techniques and instruction in measuring vital signs within the Uniondale School District for the past two school years. I have observed that students struggle with pronunciation of these Latin and Greek derived terms and have developed fun techniques that reinforce memorization and pronunciation.

Additionally, I was the TA for Beginning Speech at LIU-Post. Part of the course focused on identifying where sounds can become “trapped” in the body as well as where different sounds resonate. Students would record those sounds using the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Finally, I have privately tutored individuals, mostly ranging from ages 2 to 30, over the last 13 years. The sessions for my younger students focused on language acquisition and pronunciation, reading and writing, math (traditional and Common Core), and the development of fine motor skills. Whereas, tutoring sessions for my ...
