Are you a student struggling with academic assignments in English?
A parent looking for a reliable and experienced tutor for your child?
A bilingual professional wanting detailed feedback on your writing, pronunciation, or public speaking?

I work with a wide range of students to offer highly customized instruction, teaching, and guidance according to your unique needs. Some of my private students come to me stressed out and frustrated trying to complete challenging academic and professional tasks, like writing papers or giving speeches. I offer support, structure, and guidance to manage and execute your language-focused project or test preparation. Other students want to improve their confidence in English communication for a specific purpose, like business meetings, job interviews, or acting auditions. I use engaging, research-based approaches that target your particular goals and aims while also improving your overall language development, critical thinking skills, and creative expression.

I offer private lessons in all areas of ESL, English (humanities, social sciences), K-12 language arts, standardized test prep, conference/public speaking prep, college coursework, and content writing. I have experience teaching students of all ages and proficiency levels who come from dozens of different language backgrounds.

Please contact me if you would like to work together. I look forward to meeting you!
