Hello!

I've been tutoring/teaching since college. In college I tutored English. I also studied Japanese language and traveled/lived in Japan. I moved to South Korea to teach in 2008 and have recently returned. While there I learned Korean conversation and writing. Both are fascinating languages and I love sharing my knowledge. I also studied English language and literature in college. I have completed my CELTA certification.
I love working with people and learning from them as well as teaching. I am very eager to start helping you with your English; be it, speaking (phonetics, intonation, stress) writing (essay, grammar) and/or reading. I can travel to you or meet you at any specified location. Let me know and we'll get started!

Grammar,

Grammar

Grammar is the most important thing about a language. It is what makes or breaks your ability to communicate either spoken and written. I learned a lot about grammar by studying Latin and upon completing my CELTA I have gained advanced knowledge of English grammar and how to teach it.
Proofreading

Proofreading

Proofreading is one of the most important things when writing everything. When writing papers for a class, a letter for a job, or a resume proofreading them is what can make or break the deal. I can help you as I have extensive experience writing papers and letters. I have taken several writing classes and have a great understanding of how to help with papers.

Reading,

Reading

It is through reading that we can gain a better understanding of what is trying to be said. It also expands our minds to the outside world and informs us of what is out in the world. The better the reading skill the better one is at finding out information. Part of my CELTA training taught me how to direct one's reading to find the most important information within a text.
Spelling,

Spelling

Spelling is very important when writing papers, essays, emails, letters, and general assignments. If you have poor spelling then your papers won't be as good as they could be and in the working world, spelling can be the make or break of getting hired. I have specific methods that I have learned over the years to help learn and retain words and their spelling.

Study Skills

Not everyone learns the same, some are tactile while others are visual and some learn better with audio cues. Neither are the best but are the most important for the learner. Through my training with CELTA I learned how to help a learner with the best way that they learn, be it kinesthetic, visual or auditory.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

Expanding your vocabulary can help in many ways. It can help your schooling as you will know more words as it will also help you throughout life as you will be able to understand more of what is around you. I can help you expand your vocabulary by helping you study and giving you special activities that will help you build and retain the new vocabulary.
