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, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, and other languages. I can work with you in person (in the Berkeley/Oakland area) or anywhere by email/online chat.

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, TOEIC, IELTS, the verbal portions of the GMAT and MCAT, 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.

Amazing first session

I gained a more clearer way to attack sufficient and necessary assumptions in the LSAT. She was very patient and really sought to understand how I was going about the strategy to solve them

Patient and well informed tutor

We went over logical reasoning practice questions in our lesson. Janet explained each problem well and had useful advice for test-taking. She was clear in her explanations and ensured I understood before moving on.

proof reading documents

She did an excellent job! She was prompt in responding to my email request for proof reading. She completed the task ahead of schedule. In the past, when I request a quick turn around for proof reading, she never failed me.
