My British accent and experience can help you !

Being British born and having lived in the US for twelve years I bring experience from both sides of the Atlantic . This helps my students with listening and speaking tasks especially. The TOEFL exam uses different English accents and I can be a big help with this. I can tutor for the IELTS if your dream is to study in the UK!

More About This Tutor...

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the truth. My personal goals at this point are to inspire other children to want to learn so that learning and writing are not perceived as boring and meaningless and that through writing, the student will want to continue past the assignment and invoke writing and communication through creative channels into their daily lives so that this becomes a "life-skill."

Through personal and professional experience, I have come to believe that fluency is most quickly achieved through immersion in a language (and instruction in only that language). However, accuracy can be developed and maintained more consistently when a student is able to compare his or her native tongue to the one which he or she is studying - as long as the student has a good understanding of the grammar and other basics of the native language. As a result, I believe in that constant exposure to a language, coupled with conceptual comparison to the native tongue, will foster the best combination of fluency and accuracy. I also believe that appreciation of the cultural and historical elements of a foreign language will encourage students in their studies and help them maintain enthusiasm when they meet a challenge.
