About
I have been teaching ESL and tutoring adults and children for more than 28 years. Having lived and taught in several states and overseas has given me a unique opportunity to learn about the different cultures of my students. English grammar is my passion although I enjoy tutoring all four domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Tutoring online has given me a new platform for helping students anywhere at any time. I can choose appropriately leveled lessons, or I can help with materials that are provided for them. My aim is to assist students in attaining the skills necessary to reach their English proficiency goals.
