Experienced tutor in English, writing, law, and politics

I'm an experienced tutor and coach in English (reading, writing, grammar, composition), government, political science, law and LSAT prep.

I can help you improve your grades or advance your career. I have a great deal of experience working with ESL learners, including speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Korean.

I can teach you how to write effective essays, academic papers, business presentations, website copy, marketing material, correspondence, emails, business plans, executive summaries, resumes, and many other types of writing. I have helped my students prepare successfully for the TOEFL, SAT, and a number of other exams. I'm also available for quick editing and proofreading assignments.

If you're a law or paralegal student, I can teach substantive legal topics, legal writing and research skills, and exam prep.

A supportive tutor. — Given the time and restriction, you still proofread in a timely and meticulous manner, and returning my emails in a quick fashion. Your professionalism exceed my expectation. I appreciate that you're still patient when I repetitively show frustration and difficulty in grasping meanings on articles and tenses. Thank you for dedicating your time to help me.
