Grammar

Grammar

Grammar is essential to good communication. You can have the most extensive vocabulary in the world, but if you misuse grammar, you give away your lack of knowledge easily. I credit my command of grammar from early grammar teachers in school, and a career using grammar and writing skills in my nonprofit and corporate jobs in communications, marketing and public relations. I am also certified to teach grammar in my English Courses for Speakers of Other Languages. However, today many native English speakers need training in grammar as well. I would love to help you improve your grammar!

TOEFL,

TOEFL

I have successfully taught all four sections of the TOEFL test prep curriculum for the past ten years privately and at international language schools. My students have repeatedly gained 10 or more points in each subject area after taking my courses, which is more than the average point gain from TOEFL preparation. I like teaching TOEFL very much, as it provides skills for critical thinking, listening, reading and writing that students can use far beyond just taking the test. How can I help you?
Writing

Writing

As a published author (one book and numerous freelance articles), and a lifelong practitioner of writing in my work in corporate and nonprofit communications, I offer a student both a practical and business writing background. My written work has won awards, grants and recognition for myself and clients. Writing is my best and most developed skill, and I use it routinely in my life and work. I would love to help you improve your writing!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

My goal was to get ready for TOEFL test within 10 days time frame. Sounds like it’s almost impossible. Yet I did it with Nancy tremendous help! Nancy came up with right studying plan for me, gave me plenty of additional materials to practice. The most important, Nancy taught me different techniques and tricks to approach every part of TOEFL test. Basically, without her help and expertise I wouldn’t have chance to take TOEFL with confidence and at my best.

Natalia, 8 lessons with Nancy

Excellent tutor!

Nancy excels as an English instructor with a special focus on accent reduction, blending patience with a deep understanding of the linguistic challenges faced by non-native speakers. Her expertise in phonetics, coupled with personalized teaching methods, addresses the unique needs of each student, taking into account their mother tongue's limitations. This approach not only enhances clarity and fluency in American English pronunciation but also fosters confidence in her students. Nancy's ability to adapt her lessons to the individual's background makes her an invaluable guide in the journey towards mastering American English, demonstrating her unparalleled dedication to accent reduction

Great tutor

Nancy helped my daughter prepare for the TOEFL iBT reading section. Nancy helped my daughter come up to speed quickly. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and explains things in a clear manner. I highly recommend her.
