About Martha


Bio

My love for teaching comes from the joy in seeing my ESL/ELL students make such rapid progress as they learn English. I am well qualified, having a MATESOL (Master’s Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

I have experience teaching all ages, from Kindergarten through 12th grade, and adults. I also tutor college students who are preparing for the TOEFL and/or Versant exams. I teach all levels of Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, Speaking /Pronunciation,...

My love for teaching comes from the joy in seeing my ESL/ELL students make such rapid progress as they learn English. I am well qualified, having a MATESOL (Master’s Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

I have experience teaching all ages, from Kindergarten through 12th grade, and adults. I also tutor college students who are preparing for the TOEFL and/or Versant exams. I teach all levels of Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, Speaking /Pronunciation, and Listening. I also teach all of my students Conversation skills and Accent Reduction, which are so important.

I have lived in 3 foreign countries and know how difficult it is to learn a new language. Not only can I empathize with my students, but know firsthand which methods are effective with adults and children.

My experience also includes helping our 9-and 7-year-old sons through their own four- year linguistic immersion in French public schools in France. In Michigan, I worked as an ESL paraprofessional at an elementary school, tutoring students in all grades, K-5th. Teachers, students and parents alike appreciate my non-threatening demeanor, my patience, understanding, and fun and effective methods of teaching.

In addition, I speak French and German fluently.

I am flexible and will meet you online, at your home, work, library, coffee shop, or other place.

Let me help you perfect your English!

Great tutor

Martha is a very good teacher. she taught me with care and great patience. she provided books and CDs that were related to my study and were really helpful. I was struggling with English pronunciation but she helped me a lot to overcome my problem. I also improved a lot in my reading, listening and writing capabilities. In addition, she gave me valuable advices and taught me about different strategy i should follow in the exam. I got my desired result in TOEFL and i am grateful to her for this. Under her guidance i made great improvement and i am sure everybody will be benefited by following her advices.
