ESL Students Welcomed! Reading, Adult Literacy, English and comprehension. Get Better Grades This Semester and Beyond!

Methodology

Excelled in English, reading and history in school in California. Graduated from CSUN with a Journalism degree. Worked for 17 years (so far) as a professional writer. Along the way I have tutored adult students who struggled with literacy and a South Korean woman looking to improve her speaking skills for the verbal grad school exam (TOEFL).

Background

I have been giving lessons for one-and-a-half years.
I have taught 3 students.
My students told me that their reading comprehension, spelling and writing improved. For the woman who wanted to re-take the TOEFL, she said she improved, but had decided against taking the test for the third time.
