To empower and inspire individuals to thrive and act through English language education.

First, we will help you to determine your strong and weak points in your language by an informal assessment during our first conversation.

Next, we develop a plan of study that is tailored to your particular language goals and that fits your schedule. Your plan of study is individualized just for you.

I want my students to progress and learn. My lessons can help you feel more confident and successful, whether you need English for work, travel or friendships.

In addition to tutoring sessions, I offer students independent study aids like personalized online vocabulary tools and useful online resources in English. I coach your progress towards greater confidence, fluency, and accuracy by providing a structure to practice the skills you especially need.

I use free online resources, Google docs, pdfs, and my own materials.

I focus on teaching English through content. Content-based instruction (CBI) is one of the most effective ways to improve your language skills, and a great way to expand your knowledge of the world.

I usually start each lesson with a review of vocabulary from the previous lessons, and then we discuss the new materials. You do most of the talking! At the end, I provide feedback on your English so that you become aware of your mistakes, and I make suggestions on how to correct yourself and change bad habits.

Together, we decide on authentic texts, videos, and recordings about science, culture, current events, politics, etc. You study it before our lesson, and I support your learning by creating word lists and comprehension and discussion questions, which we review during the lesson.

Every lesson is individualized. We help each learner work towards their goals over time.

We use current listening and reading materials that are created for native-English speakers, and some readings that are tailored more to lower English levels. We constantly adjust the level of materials and use extensive vocabulary support, so you’ll learn English while learning more about science, history, world and U.S. culture, and more.

Using careful listening and years of experience, we provide kind error correction and confidence-building strategies for improved accuracy.
