Tutoring In Languages ~ Writing ~ Singing
About
I make tutoring fun, creative, and comprehensive. I have studied some languages at their sources: French in Paris, German in Vienna, Italian in Florence, Romanian in Bucharest, and have a complex understanding of language as related to culture. I don't just help you improve your grammar and vocabulary; I get you to see language as a cultural treasure. I take the same approach goes with music, writing, and performing arts.
I enjoy getting students to improve their skills as a result of our work together. It is also important and rewarding for me to creating tutoring sessions that the students can also enjoy while working on their skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to assess where they are in their knowledge and skills, whether in a foreign language, music or writing, and discover where they are having the most difficulty. Then I ease them into our tutoring sessions with exercises that foster improvement and acquisition of new knowledge, while also making the process fun and interactive.
