English grammarian, 30+ years experience, teaches students skills for the big tests.
Methodology
My approach to teaching is more casual than what is practiced in a classroom; speaking and writing proper English is fun, not boring, and should be a natural instinct with practice. I'll help you with that as we explore English.
Background
I've been editing published authors for years with great results. Writers (and readers) of books, magazines and blogs depend on my knowledgable guidance and expertise to ensure all their works are at an optimum level and, of course, grammatically correct.
Rates
Details
Depending on the student's needs, I tutor for $15/hour to $25/hour. Different tests require different preparations.
