Easy English
About
I am highly motivated and experienced. I want to provide you the services that you need in the least amount of time possible. I'm direct, to the point, and won't waste your time or my time dragging out the process. Tell me what you need and lets work together to get it done!
I enjoy helping my students build skills that are transferable to all areas of their life. English and writing skills aren't simply confined to a classroom. A good resume, cover letter, and interest statement can take you so many places! I love watching my students progress and build confidence in their skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A typical process would include one free initial meeting where I review the student's goals and needs and determine whether we would be a good match, and how regularly the student may need assistance. We will work together from there to build a plan that fits each student's goals and needs, and work towards accomplishing the goals we set.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed and practicing attorney. The bulk of my work requires me to draft motions, which is heavily writing intensive. Law school in and of itself requires very strong writing skills, and the bulk of my undergraduate degree was also focused on writing intensive courses.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing depends on the situation. If a student wants to meet once or twice and only needs minimal help or guidance, I would charge $50 per session. If the student wants to meet more regularly, and requires more attention (such as proofreading numerous essays, editing multiple drafts, working on drafting essays) than I charge $75 per session. Each session is 1 hour in length. The initial consultation is free.
How did you get started teaching?
I love helping people, and both my parents are teachers. I have always been involved with coaching/academic help, both in college and law school. I found that I really enjoy helping others achieve their goals, and watching them build confidence.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of students: college athletes, high school students who need assistance, potential graduate school applicants looking for assistance with personal statements.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that you feel comfortable with your teacher, and that they are transparent. They should be able to answer any question you have honestly. Also, don't be afraid to tell a potential teacher that you don't think you would be a good match with them, for whatever reason. We don't get offended. We just want you to get the services you need!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would advise potential students to think of concrete goals to be able to discuss with their teacher, so that their teacher can more fully help them. For example, instead of saying "improve my writing" say something like "strengthen my skills in creative writing" or "write an A essay for English." The more concrete you can get with what it is you are looking to accomplish, the easier it is for me and other professionals to help you.
