I have taught over twenty students from kindergarten through college graduates and foreign students. My teaching covers all language arts skills including casual writing, essays, formal writing, research papers, as well as vocabulary, spelling, sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, etc.

Let me show you how successful you or your child can be!

I have over 13 years of teaching experience as well as a graduate degree in education.

Writing, whether it is creative or for essays and/or research, has structure to it - We will discuss the structure of what writing needs to be done, as well as the best way to go about doing it.

It is my grasp of foreign languages that makes me an effective English teacher. For instance, learning the complex grammar of Latin and Greek gave me a thorough understanding of English grammar and the ability to relate to other people’s native languages. I have spent many hours proofreading papers for international students. They find my instruction especially informative because I not only fix mistakes but provide an explanation. When I point out the patterns of grammar, similar mistakes show up less and less, and my students feel more confident that they are writing sentences correctly.

I learned English teaching methods through my tutoring experience. Over a span of four months, I gave a Turkish visiting scholar a systematic overview of English grammar and allowed him to apply it through conversation.

I'm an Emmy Award-winning writer with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism, having taught all levels with more than 30 years experience.

After 5 years teaching reading, math, and writing skills to struggling students, I have developed a large tool box of strategies to help students bridge any gaps in their education. I look forward to learning how each student learns and then adding upon their skills. Tutoring services are higher due to TakeLesson fees and 30 minutes of prep before each session.
