I earned my Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics in 2018 and have been teaching college courses and tutoring students of all ages for over five years. My students describe me as extremely patient, proficient, and supportive, and I work to create a learning environment where every student feels confident exploring and improving their skills.

I help students with a wide range of writing and academic English needs, from polishing college essays, research papers, and exam writing to mastering MLA and APA citation and formatting. I also support students with academic presentations, pronunciation, and speaking strategies, as well as essay structure, clarity, and understanding graphs and charts for exams like the IELTS.

Whether it’s refining your essays, building confidence in presentations, or reviewing key academic skills you may have forgotten, I tailor each session to your goals and pace. Students appreciate that I not only correct mistakes but also provide strategies, guidance, and encouragement to help them grow as writers and speakers.

Let’s work together—schedule a session and take the next step toward confident, effective writing and academic English skills.

Really helped!

I wasn't in a session for long with Elizabeth, however during that short time she was able to help me collect my thoughts into forming a coherent paper! She also gave me some recommendations on where to find different information to help cite my paper, which really helped. Because of her help I received a very good grade. Thanks again!!
