Everything You've Always Wanted To Know About English

Dear Student,

I have worked as a professional tutor for the past twenty years, helping students in the United States, Japan, and Spain to reach their educational goals and their dreams. I have a BS in Education and an MFA in Fine Arts, and I have spent my life working with students from elementary school through university and with working professionals who want to improve their English language skills.

My areas of specialization are English grammar, reading skills, vocabulary study, writing skills, and test preparation - SSAT, SAT, ACT. I have also tutored students in study and organizational skills, which helped them become more successful students. I have proven results in my methods, and have seen a student raise her SAT score by 200 points. I am patient and compassionate, and I greatly admire anyone who is trying to learn. I hope you will consider me
when you need a tutor. I will be happy to work with you and to help you achieve success.

Sincerely,
Your English Teacher
