Learning English grammar and writing strong sentences doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, tossing around adverbs, adjectives, and tenses can be quite fun.

The secret is reading and writing about what interests you. I'll customize your lessons to unleash your imagination. Once that's done, learning grammar and good writing structure is easy.

I earned my BA in English at Wagner College. Teaching English to middle school students in Afghanistan was my earliest experience in the classroom, but even back then I enjoyed tutoring students in Kandahar one on one and also found enough time to teach a group of local teachers a course in advanced grammar. My background also includes tutoring in the PRY program in Park Slope, Brooklyn, as well as more recent volunteer work at a Head Start Program in Hightstown, New Jersey.

Grammar

English grammar sounds dull. But believe me, nouns are just characters in a 4 star movie. Yes, verbs energize all the action scenes. Adverbs provide you the pace and mood, while adjectives capture the glamorous awards for scenery and costume. Use your prepositions to escape the car chases, haunted houses and trap doors. It is just a matter of studying which tools you should use and practicing with compositions that sharpen them. Believe me, there's a great deal of fun in avoiding the quicksand... Read More

Reading

We will read what you like to read. That's the first step and the one that will unlock all later learning.

You may stumble through reading now. But very few of us picked up our first book and immediately recognized the words. It takes time. It takes reading. I never thought my own son would comprehend a single sentence through that long year in first grade, but using various media from flash cards to talking e-books helped him unlock his "ah ha" moment. Now he reads multiple novels... Read More

Writing

Communication is a key to every student's success. Mastery of verbal communication is one such door, but skill in written communication unlocks even more opportunities. From college application essays to employment forms, from precise office memos to concise thank you's for job interviews, the ability to write succinctly is invaluable.

Let me help you build an essay or article that makes an impact on your intended reader. Once you gain command of the fundamental building blocks and... Read More

English

Although I have tutored both elementary school pupils and young adults in English grammar and reading, most of my experience comes from teaching English to middle school students.

Reading can be fun and entertaining and the fact is that even students who are struggling with English read almost every day of their lives. I simply use your interests to ignite your vocabulary. From there it is only a matter of time before a strengthened framework in grammar releases your writing skills... Read More

Chess

I have played chess my entire life and in recent years have shared my love of the game with my 13-year-old son. He now competes in tournaments regularly and enjoys experimenting with various opening strategies.

Anyone can learn how to play chess. It is not as difficult as it may seem at first and most children and even adults can pick up the essential moves after only a few lessons. What makes learning chess so exciting is that the best way to study the game is to play the game. Each... Read More
