TOEFL is one of my top subjects! I have taught iBased TOEFL ever since it was introduced several years ago. The iBT requires students to write, read, speak, and listen to English at an academic level. The writing section is especially difficult as it requires a student to do two types of writing: 1.intergrated - read a passage, listen to a person discuss the passage, then write an answer to the question that is asked about the passage 2. Independent writing - write a short essay (about 300 words) on a given topic.

My teaching style is determined by the group that I am teaching. I am always honest and open minded with my students. I always give me the respect and care that they deserve.
My many years of teaching experience at all levels (from elementary to college) has given me the ability and patience to work with students of all ages. Although I prefer older students, I have taught reading, language arts, and writing in elementary school. During my more than 40 years in Greece, I worked with students in ESL (all levels), taught high school and college English, and prepared many Greek students for the TOEFL I have a BA degree in English from the University of North Texas (1962), MA in Reading and English from Miami University (Oxford, Ohio - 1975) and post graduate work from several European and American Universities. I have a state of Texas professional teaching certificate for English ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a certified teacher in English and Math with 5 years of experience teaching in both public and private schools. In addition, I have been tutoring for more than 15 years and teaching summer camps for young people for 10 years. I am an expert in helping students prepare for such tests as the TAKS, GED, ACT, and SAT.
I am a caring teacher who is encouraging and helpful. I try to explain the material in a way so that students understand and keep trying different methods in order to determine how students learn best. Although I am very serious about helping students learn, I often use a lighthearted approach to help students loosen up and enjoy the learning process.
