Experience
I received my master's degree of English from San Diego State University. I am bilingual and speak English and German fluently. I first learned German in school and then gained full fluency while studying in Germany. My language acquisition experiences were in both the classroom and in an immersive environment. Because of this, I feel I am better able to relate to the struggles of my students who are finding it difficult to fully understand the mechanics of language.I've taught students at companies, language schools, and at community colleges. I've also worked as a literacy tutor for the city of LA. I am passionate about grammar and find editing and grammatical conventions enjoyable. I have business and academic experience as a proofreader. My education background, as well as my work history, have shown me the value of truly understanding the English language. I find teaching English as a Second Language and English composition to be remarkably rewarding and enjoyable. I hope to share my love of language with my students.Some of the courses I tutor include writing essays, essay editing, grammar and mechanics, literature, reading, writing, German, and English.When I'm not helping students achieve their educational goals I enjoy writing, travel, and learning new languages.
