English Lessons in Highlands. Amazing Teachers.

For a writing lesson, for example, I first talk to the student and review a writing sample or assignment to assess what skills need to be targeted. Then I address each skill in its logical order. For example, the student first needs to understand the purpose of the assignment and its specific requirements. The next stage might require how to approach and analyze a text and then how to organize, revise, and edit the writing. Throughout this process, I check for the student's understanding.

I can come to you even if you don't live on the East side.

I will help you master the English language by practicing with conversations. Select a study textbook from a list I will provide to you and I will guide you in making progress every time we meet.

I speak both Spanish and Italian and have tutored English in Latin America and Italy. I have a great love for foreign cultures and am looking forward to sharing mine with you!

I have taught over twenty English students from kindergarten through college graduates (research papers, policy analysis papers, etc.).

I build language arts skills in speaking, reading comprehension, listening and writing. I cover vocabulary, spelling, grammar, sentence structure, tenses, subject-verb agreement and punctuation, etc.

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

Teaching English/ESL is my passion. When I am teaching, I become energized and totally involved in the moment. It's a great feeling, and I use this energy to make my teaching the best it can be for the student--exciting, interesting, informative, active, and never boring.

I remember when I was in graduate school working toward my MA degree in English, and I had a very boring professor for one of my classes. He sat in front of the class and talked non-stop for three hours. He was incredibly
