English, ESL, Writing and Law Tutor

I have years of experience teaching and tutoring English as a second language, both in the U.S. and overseas. My students have included high school students, community college students, university and postgraduate students, and working professionals of all ages. I have taught speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Farsi and Turkish. I am also an experienced tutor in law, having taught both law and paralegal students in substantive law, legal writing, test taking skills, and LSAT preparation. I also work with business students who are taking business law and business ethics classes.
I adapt my style to your individual needs. Some students prefer to use a textbook, but with others I will provide appropriate study materials. I like to get to know my students so that we can focus only exactly what you need to improve as quickly as possible.

K-12 Successful Special Needs or English Language Tutor

My passion in life is teaching, where I can tutor students on a 1:1 basis! My teaching / tutoring experience includes classroom high school teaching, where my specialties were Math, Science, and English. Also, I tutored middle-schoolers in ESL, Social Studies, and Literature. I enjoy tutoring adukt learners on English and Citizenship. And finally, I have taught private piano lessons and music reading.
I present concepts in a variety of ways, such as: "hands on," visually, problem-solving, and inquiry-based. I reinforce the concepts each time we have a session. I tutor with a style that is accepting, positive, and where my student's feel comfortable enough to ask questions and become actively involved. All my students are successful learners who have fun learning!

I started Bucknell as an Education Major, and then switched to English Literature. I spent one semester as a teaching assistant, and worked as a student literary journal editor. I won two poetry prizes, one given by my student peers, and one by the English faculty. Post-college I entered law school at Tulane. I practiced law for 20 some years. In those years I taught CLE classes for attorneys, as well as in-house sessions for employees of a firm for whom I was General Counsel. After Katrina my legal career was greatly attenuated, and I supplemented my income by tutoring LSAT preparation, and by writing and editing for an SEO company. I am adept at standardized test taking, scoring in the 98th percentile on the LSAT. Due to the economic climate in New Orleans, I moved to California in December of 2008, and am currently working as a substitute teacher.

More About This Tutor...

As a ski instructor, I've worked with children aged 3 - 12. Parents frequently praised my patience and ability to remain a calm, controlled and enthusiastic teacher. I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and that a good teacher must always remain receptive to his student's needs and interests. Students should have an interest in the subject and learning should follow from their character. Often times, we are overwhelmed by the expectations put upon us and we need only see our accomplishments within a perspective that incorporates our progress since we've begun.
Throughout my education at UCLA, I took an avid and broad interest in all subjects, and finally chose to complement a degree in International Development with a smattering of engineering physics and multi-variable calculus. My work and extra-curricular experience has been broad and challenging. I've researched ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate student at UC Berkeley, I was a TA for twelve semesters in a range of physics classes. In 2002 I won the UC Berkeley Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor award. After graduating I was a lecturer for 2 years at 50% time. This was at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. There I developed and taught new coursed in math, physics and programming that were fine tuned for the needs of the architecture students. I can make complete sets of student evaluations available to you on request --- they are very favorable. I spent many office hours working one-on-one with the weaker students, and so I have considerable tutoring experience.
As a classroom instructor, I am conscious that one needs to constantly engage with and interact with the class. I always taught in a tutorial style, where after I've introduced the material the students must solve a puzzle or problem ... read more
