I think the competitive...

...focus now. I enjoy the richness of the English language and even the challenge of following all of the rules, punctuation, etc. The job of a writing coach is also very important. While we all learn from getting feedback about our composition, we also want to work with a tutor that can help us express our own ideas well. I am interested in helping each client with the key skills that will help them along...

...learners along their journeys. To stop learning is to stop living a meaningful and abundant life. I could no more stop breathing than stop inquiring about the world around me. It is for this reason that I teach others to appreciate and discover their love of learning. Leaning should be a joyful experience and not one of drudgery. Learning can build confidence in the learner to broach further information and then use it in their...

With this philosophy, I have helped many students improve their grades and test taking abilities and have also guided them...
