American History

Thanks to a wonderful high school teacher, I believe history can be interesting. I have both undergraduate and graduate degrees in history, and enjoy communicating my enthusiasm for the subject. It can be a detective story with implications for our present and future, not just a repetition of dusty facts and dates.

Vocabulary

Words fascinate me. Where do they come from? How do they change? Why do they have different meanings when they appear in different surroundings? Drawing upon my experience as a spelling bee contestant, curious reader, and language teacher, I can help you to learn vocabulary, too.

Grammar

Language is communication. The rules of grammar exist so that we can communicate more clearly. Teaching grammar should include an explanation of the "why"--the principles behind the rules. I've taught grammar to native and non-native speakers for more than twelve years. I can help you to understand it, too.

Writing

Along with basic paragraph and essay writing for native speakers, I've taught grammar to speakers of other languages for more than twelve years. Over that time I've worked as a tutor in writing centers on four college campuses where I helped people prepare resumes, college application letters, and newspaper articles as well as essays and research papers. My approach is not simply to proofread and edit, but to help writers understand the writing process so that they can, with practice, succeed... Read More

Geography

Maps have always interested me--treasure maps, maps of Middle Earth and Narnia, maps of long ago battles and kingdoms. Then I found out they can show where to start a business, how disease has spread, or which kids are getting a good education. Geography studies the physical distribution of all kinds of things and, with an enthusiastic tutor, can be a fascinating subject.

English

In the more than twelve years since I took my MA in TEFL/Intercultural Studies, I have taught reading, writing, listening, and speaking in adult and community education programs, intensive English programs, community colleges and corporations. My experience allows me to meet the needs of a wide variety of individual students when I tutor.

ESL/ESOL

In the more than twelve years since I took my MA in TEFL/Intercultural Studies, I have taught reading, writing, listening, and speaking in adult and community education programs, intensive English programs, community colleges and corporations. My experience allows me to meet the needs of a wide variety of individual students when I tutor.

World History

Thanks to a wonderful high school teacher, I believe history can be interesting. I have both undergraduate and graduate degrees in history, and enjoy communicating my enthusiasm for the subject. The study of world history helps us understand my favorite question: why?

Proofreading

In the twelve years that I've taught composition and ESL I've graded plenty of papers. Over that time I've worked as a tutor in writing centers on four college campuses where I helped people prepare resumes, college application letters, and newspaper articles as well as essays and research papers. As a tutor, I don’t believe proofreading should be a drop off dry cleaning service for written products. My objective is to work with you until you understand how to do it yourself.

TOEFL

In the more than twelve years since I took my MA in TEFL/Intercultural Studies, I have taught reading, writing, listening, and speaking in adult and community education programs, intensive English programs, community colleges and corporations. My experience has equipped me to meet the needs of students at different levels with tutoring in the full range of skills. I especially enjoy teaching grammar and pronunciation.
