Bio

I'm a TEFL/TESL-certified English tutor, specializing in English as a Second Language (ESL), writing, and proofreading.

I graduated from Thomas Edison State University (TESU) with a degree in Liberal Arts. Writing/English courses were a favorite of mine, featuring prominently in my degree. For example, I obtained 'A' grades in both English Composition and Information Literacy/Academic Writing, and also received an 'A' grade for my written capstone project.

I'm a TEFL/TESL-certified English tutor, specializing in English as a Second Language (ESL), writing, and proofreading.

I graduated from Thomas Edison State University (TESU) with a degree in Liberal Arts. Writing/English courses were a favorite of mine, featuring prominently in my degree. For example, I obtained 'A' grades in both English Composition and Information Literacy/Academic Writing, and also received an 'A' grade for my written capstone project. In addition, I tutored ESL for TESU students who were non-native English speakers, which enhanced their comprehension of course materials.

Moreover, I have extensive online experience tutoring ESL and writing for teenagers and adults, in a professional, 1-on-1 format. I have tutored these subjects for over 4 years, and have completed TEFL/TESL level 4 certification, which has given me deeper insight and improved strategies for creating ESL lesson plans. I'm also certified to teach IELTS and TOEFL exam preparation. If you are struggling with grammar, pronunciation, or creating proper sentences, I'll help you learn English quickly and confidently. In fact, my ESL students have won multiple prizes in international writing contests, and frequently score over 110 on the TOEFL exam.

As a writing tutor, I ensure that the student's intended meaning is conveyed to the reader. I analyze the central point of each paragraph, before examining the strength of its connection to the evidence and logic employed. Furthermore, I'm sure to include all the features that will please your instructor. I'm also a detail-oriented proofreader, who catches even obscure typos that word processors often miss.

I always take the necessary time with my students and advise them to ask questions regarding what they don't understand. I have an enthusiastic and engaging style of tutoring, and always make lessons enjoyable.

Contact me to learn more and schedule a lesson. I look forward to working with you.

Exceptional, Knowledgable, and Patient Tutor

It was about a year and a half ago when David started tutoring my niece in English. She came from China, and at the beginning, her English proficiency was limited to basic communication. After the first interview with David, my initial impression was that he was professional, patient, sincere, and had a broad knowledge base. Over the past year and a half, under David’s guidance, my niece not only caught up with her high school English curriculum but also won multiple awards in international English writing competitions. Before going abroad, she took the TOEFL exam and scored 79, but a year later, on her second attempt, she achieved an impressive score of 111. David is not only an excellent English tutor, but his wealth of knowledge, skilled teaching techniques, and kind and honest personality have guided my niece to become an outstanding young person.
