Approved Subjects

IELTS

IELTS

As a certified ESOL & IELTS Exam preparation instructor, I have helped international students develop skillsets that expand their English vocabulary, improve listening, reading comprehension, and oral language capabilities. I can help students foster the reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills needed for both the Academic and General IELTS Examinations. Most of all, I can help students gain the confidence they need to improve the likelihood of earning a higher testing bandwidth score.
Phonics

Phonics

Phonics is one of the building blocks of the English language. I have extensive experience teaching children and adult ESL students how to understand important phonetic concepts, including the identification of phonemes, the formation rhymes, and the development of diagraphs and homophones across various words and sounds. I can also help you develop the skills needed in order to improve your pronunciation skills. Whether you are learning English as a foreign language, or are trying to perfect your phonics, I am more than happy to help you improve your learning goals!
Proofreading

Proofreading

Writing is one of the most essential forms of communication. I have extensive experience writing and proofreading for academia, local government, and for professionals. I can help you organize your thoughts in a succinct, yet concise manner. Whether you are trying to write an academic essay, or working on a business proposal, I am more than happy to help you improve your writing skills!
Reading

Reading

Reading is one of the most essential forms of communication. I have extensive experience teaching children and adult ESL students how to read and comprehend text in the English language. I can help you develop the skills needed in order to improve your decoding, reading, comprehension and critical-thinking skills. Whether you are trying to read classic novels, or are trying to improve your standardized test scores, I am more than happy to help you improve your reading skills!
Social Studies

Social Studies

Social studies has been a long-time interest of mine. During my undergrad, I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology, with an inter-disciplinary focus on Urban Studies-an arena heavily based in social studies. After receiving my Master's in Urban and Regional Planning, I went on to work as a City Planner in a local government (with a weak mayor/ City Manager) system. I continue to teach young people about City Planning, Local Government, and Civics.

knowledgeable and patient tutor

I was searching for a tutor that can help me write my complicated essay and Mara was the perfect one, as she explained the topic to me in a distinctive and smooth way, and I now feel confident to move forward in writing the research, and this is what I really needed. Also, even though English is not my first language she was patient 👍
