Having learned a second language myself, I know how difficult and frustrating it can be. I also know that language proficiency can happen with dedication and a good teacher(s).
The first step toward language proficiency is creating an action plan. First and foremost, together with the student, I set realistic learning goals and then create a personalized action plan to follow. This is not merely a syllabus, but a comprehensive plan to follow, modify when necessary and continue. I see myself as more of a language coach in this respect. I will teach and push you in your learning, both in the tutoring setting and outside. You will need to take responsibility for your learning. I will facilitate this process.
I have over 20 years experience as an ESL teacher both in the United States and abroad. I have a master's in TESOL and am NY State certified.
