Hempstead, NY English Lessons

I can teach essay composition, creative writing, and poetry. I have been writing and editing poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and song lyrics seriously for over 10 years.

Whether you are looking for instruction in reading, writing, analysis, comprehension, or something else, I have experience teaching all levels of students in the aforementioned areas. Being able to self-express verbally and through the written word are skills that must be developed for academic success at the high school and collegiate level. It is never too early or too late to begin developing a comprehensive understanding of the English language.

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've been teaching English for 4 years and my high school students have gone on to great colleges with new writing and reading comprehension skills . I use your school text books, but also incorporate material we find together, material that interests you. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I'm a creative and experienced teacher who can help improve your English writing, speaking, and reading skills. I can teach you the English you need for travel, work, school, or fun. Whether you are a native speaker or a second language learner, I can help you solve the mysteries of correct grammar and usage.

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.

Need an A on your high school/college essay? I'm here to help! I always start with going over your writing and analyzing it, then developing the best approach to help you fix your writing, and also provide you with tips for future editing, so that next time you can get that A all by yourself! I can help with your writing in English no matter your proficiency level, and if your native language is Ukrainian or Russian, even better.

I have taught English to over 2,000 students over the past 18 years. My students have consistently seen their grades improve from C's to B's and B's to A's. I have also helped students increase their overall SAT scores by 200-400 points.

I first carefully diagnose the student's strengths and weaknesses by looking at previous graded assignments or standardized test scores.

Then, I create a customized syllabus for each and every student based on what he/she most needs to improve the most in the shortest amount of time. I use only the best published materials and some of my own custom-made booklets.

As the lessons progress, I continually monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments until the student reaches his/her goal and no longer needs my services.
