Approved Subjects

Accent Reduction

Accent Reduction

I have 6 years of experience as an ESL and Accent Reduction tutor and can help those who speak any language to reduce their accent and increase their confidence in their ability to communicate with native English speakers in academic, professional, and social settings. I am a published author and I studied English at the University of California at Davis. I show students how to prevent their accent from causing them to lower their volume to a level at which they cannot be easily understood. As part of my teaching, I provide multiple replacement words for one that is not fully descriptive, thus, increasing their vocabulary. I know how to teach students to write, listen to, and speak English, with a significantly reduced accent. In addition to accent reduction and ESL tutoring, I introduce students to elements of American culture that help them to fit into the native English speaking population. I teach students how to pronounce words in the same manner as native English speakers do.
ADHD

ADHD

I have tutored and provided career development instruction to college aged and adult men who have had various types of learning disabilities including ADD/ADHD. I point out that ADD/ADHD affects an estimated 5% of children and adults in the United States. I consider difficulties that the student may have with focusing or controlling over-activity. My approach for a student with ADD/ADHD is to start with the most basic elements of a subject, determine the student's proficiency level and patiently proceed from there. I try to build a sense of confidence in the student. I also provide career development and job search tutoring. I tutor online and in-person.

The documents that I review prior to performing field exploration and research include maps, photographs and written accounts. Much of my research in archaeology is unique and adds to the existing body of knowledge about a subject. I am adept at studying the history of various ethnic groups and civilizations. My experience includes studying existing documentation on past cultures and then visiting the site on numerous occasions to search for relics and match the existing topography to the existing documentation.

I like Teacher Keith！

Through gradual adjustment and collaboration with my teacher, we discovered a new approach to learning: dedicating the first half of the lesson to one topic and the second half to another. This method not only keeps the sessions fresh and engaging but also allows me to gain a broader and more diverse understanding of life in the United States. The subjects we cover are incredibly varied, ranging from astronomy and geography to local customs and traditions. My teacher is incredibly knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of American politics, economics, daily life, culture, and regional customs. This is because he is a native-born American with extensive teaching and professional experience. All of this enables him to share with me the most authentic and interesting aspects of American life based on my interests. I am thrilled to learn about America in this way. I feel that I am not just learning the English language but also acquiring the skills to integrate into American society. For someone like me, an outsider, this might be even more important than language learning itself. I truly appreciate my teacher and look forward to exploring more aspects of America that I have yet to discover. Together, I hope we can delve into more topics that intrigue us and uncover fascinating stories.

I like Teacher Keith SO MUCH!

I really like Teacher Keith so much! Although we’ve been trying to find a systematic learning method, we haven’t quite found one yet, but it doesn’t matter. Every class with Teacher Keith brings me something new—a new teaching approach or content. I thoroughly enjoy each lesson, and every session feels fresh and exciting. During class, my mind is incredibly active, and I always feel like time flies by because I’m so absorbed in Teacher Keith’s teaching. We have great interaction, and even though I take two classes every day, I look forward to each one, just like a child going to an amusement park. I absolutely have to recommend Teacher Keith again and hope more people can know about such an excellent teacher!

A perfect teacher who can help you.

Keith is the most patient, dedicated, and professional teacher I have ever met. His lessons are so captivating that I often lose track of time, feeling as though the class ends too soon before I’ve had enough. Even when we read the often tedious Wall Street Journal, his explanations are so thorough and detailed that I find myself able to understand many of the complex words. He also provides insights into American society and culture, helping me better understand the articles and gain a deeper understanding of the U.S., which is exactly what I’m looking for. I look forward to his lessons every day; there’s a special magic in his teaching that makes you eager to participate, unlike the usual reluctance students may feel. I’m excited to have lessons with Keith daily, and I believe he can help me build my confidence.
