I have a Master's degree in English with a concentration in Linguistics and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) from George Mason University. I have been teaching ESL at Stratford University in Falls Church, Virginia for 3 years. I was also a Certified English Teacher of grades 7-12 in New York City public schools. I have a love of language and a gift for grammar that I enjoy sharing with students. I guide and encourage the students I tutor to build their Vocabulary, Reading, and Essay-Writing skills to help them succeed in their courses and exams.
