Experience
I have a master's degree in teaching English as a second language, which I received from Fordham University. Since then, I received my New York State teaching certification and have been working as a New York City public school teacher for the past six years. In addition, I've also worked as a private tutor in South Korea, where I've helped children and adults of all ages improve their English speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. While the bulk of my experience is helping people learn how to master English and use it in their day-to-day lives, I also have a wealth of experience helping students prepare for various standardized tests, including the PSAT, SAT, New York State Regents, and a number of other exams. I find that the best way to help people succeed in the classroom is to adopt a teaching style that places the student's needs first. That way, I can then customize each individual lesson to help them overcome their unique challenges and build upon their already existing skill set. Along with teaching English as a second language, I also tutor students who're interested in improving their writing skills. When I'm not working in the classroom, I enjoy spending my time playing music, reading, and writing.
