I have a Bachelor's degree in English and writing, and am a retired paralegal (lawyer's assistant) and freelance journalist. I grew up and worked in Portland, Oregon, USA, and currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Me as a Teacher
Teaching is an extremely rewarding experience, and I thoroughly enjoy helping people achieve their English language goals. I help with learning basic to advanced speaking, reading and writing, as well as with filling out forms, and writing and editing reports, essays and correspondence.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are individually planned with a focus on improving fluency in spoken and written English. In general, I help with vocabulary by introducing new words, correct and improve grammar skills and pronunciation, and advance students into increasingly complex use of English.
Language goals I often help with include general conversation, writing letters and reports, resumes/curriculum vitae, completion of forms, and practicing for interviews and speeches.

The teacher’a work is excellent. There is always a topic to talk about, she makes you different interesting questions and not only corrects your pronunciation, but also gives you new vocabulary to learn. Excellent!
