I have been a professional editor, reporter and proofreader for more than 25 years. I have been a freelance editor for almost 10 years. I have written for several newspapers, both online and print. I have also been an English tutor for 12 years, helping foreign and domestic students with basic English skills and SAT prep. I spent two years as an English teacher/tutor in South Korea, working with both kindergartners and adults.

I have been a professional editor, reporter and proofreader for more than 25 years. I have been a freelance editor for almost 10 years. I have written for several newspapers, both online and print. I have also been an English tutor for 12 years, helping foreign and domestic students with basic English skills and SAT prep. I spent two years as an English teacher/tutor in South Korea, working with both kindergartners and adults.
I am patient. I realize students have different learning levels, and I want to make them as comfortable as possible.
I have worked in a classroom capacity as well as one-on-one. I offer a lot of encouragement.
Participation is important. The student needs to be willing to talk or write. Doing homework is essential, no matter how much is done. Even if the student tries, but cannot finish, I will be happy. It's the effort that's important.
It is very important that a student be comfortable with English, especially writing. Good writing skills is essential in today's business world.
I also want students to learn how much fun it is to read.
