Dear Students,

I have been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years. For the past 15 years I have worked with foreign students as well as business people to help them learn and practice English. I have worked privately with executives from banking as well as non-profits. I have also taught classes in Columbia University's MBA program as well as with private language institutions.

My own education is a B.A. in English, certificates in French and Italian from the Alliance Francaise, (Paris,) and the Universita per Stranieri, (Perugia, Italy) and a certificate in CELTA language teaching sponsored by Cambridge University.

For the past five years I have been teaching test prep for foreign students. I have taught both the TOEFL and TOEIC test. Some of my students have also prepared for master's programs in the U.S. I have worked with them on the GMAT, GRE, and for undergraduate students, the SAT test. Prior to working with foreign students I tutored American students in English, history, and test prep. In addition to teaching I have written and published four books, numerous short stories, and a play which was produced in New York City.

I speak 3 languages myself (Greek,French, Italian) and understand how difficult it is to master a second language. In my lessons, I use a combination of old fashioned grammar, with free discussion, reading comprehension, and writing. For advanced students I help proofread their essays for college and graduate school applications as well as encourage them to write creatively. I believe strongly that if a student is interested in the material then he/she will accelerate. Boredom equals no learning.

I look forward to working with you.

Reading

Reading and Reading Comprehension can be two different skills. Most students can read material but understanding the inferences and implications of reading texts is a skill that needs practice I have worked with foreign students as well as native English speakers to improve vocabulary, syntax, grammar constructions, and reading skills. I have taught for 20 years and am familiar with skills to master reading passages, in SAT, GRE, GMAT, and NCLEX tests. I would be happy to teach students at any... Read More

Writing

I am a published author both in non-fiction and fiction. I have written 4 books. I have also worked with native English speakers as well as foreign students to polish and clarify their writing. Stimulating students to express themselves in writing and develop their vocabulary is one of my favorite aspects in teaching.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you

English

I have taught English for foreign students as well as native speakers. I enjoy explaining and illustrating grammar in an entertaining and clear manner. I also have published 4 books and am very good at helping students improve their writing skills.
If the student is working with English as a foreign language, I am certified in CELTA teaching and use a conversational method.

ESL/ESOL

I have taught ESL for the past 15 years. My students have been from Business, the Arts, and academia. I concentrate on pronunciation, idioms, conversation, and reading/writing if the student needs to prepare for academic work. I have a certificate in CELTA from Cambridge University. I make my conversation classes lively and am equally at home with one on one tutoring or classes

World History

I was a European and Russian History major and am familiar with World History and a variety of cultural studies.

TOEFL

TOEFL is the standard exam for foreign students. In my career of 15 years' teaching foreign students I have prepared many students for this exam. The most important part of the preparation is understanding exactly what each part of the test requires. We will practice listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Once a student is familiar with the organization of the test it is much easier to achieve a good score.

Study Skills

Good concentration is the basis for good study skills. I have worked with American as well as foreign students on developing study skills so that they can achieve their goals. While I was a teacher at the Beekman Schoo,l I tutored many young students and before we even got to English, History, or Math, we needed to find the ways to help the student focus. This depends on how the student learns: Linguistic, Logical, Kinesthetic, Musical, Spatial, or interpersonal are all intelligences. Once I find... Read More

NCLEX

For the past 4 years, I have worked with foreign Nurses to prepare them for the NCLEX test. I am not a nurse but I have mastered the best way to approach the NCLEX test. Most of my work was with students who spoke English as a second language. Their medical/nursing knowledge was good but their language skills were poor. This experience gave me great familiarity with the structure of the test. I would be happy to help any students master the skills needed to pass the test.

Public Speaking

In addition to my work as a tutor/teacher I have taught and coached students in public speaking. I worked professionally in the theatre for 20 years, and am very skilled in voice production, tricks for calming stage fright and memorization. The most important skill to learn for public speaking is good breathing techniques. This will calm jittery nerves, help with articulation, and organizing your thoughts. I look forward to working with you.
