I believe knowing how to use proper grammar is such an important skill to possess. I have worked with children and adults to improve their grammar, which aides them in reading, writing and comprehension. I encourage my students to learn the rules of grammar, become accustomed to reading well-written works that follow the rules of grammar, and to practice writing and editing on a regular basis.

spelling
I believe knowing how to spell is such an important skill to possess. I read daily, and whenever I come across a word of which I am not familiar, I look it up. I have worked with children and adults to improve their spelling, which aides them in reading, writing and comprehension.
TOEFL
I graduated from Kean University with honors. I particularly excelled at writing, grammar and English. I have worked with many students whose native language is not English, and they have found that my tutoring improved their test scores.
vocabulary
Because I read everyday, I come across new words often, and I take the time to look them up and how they were used. I believe the best way to build your vocabulary, is to take the time to become familiar with every new word that you come across. I encourage my students to do the same, and I show them how to do this in a way that doesn't feel like a chore.
writing
I graduated from Kean University with honors. I particularly excelled at writing, grammar and English. I have worked with many students that needed to improve their writing. Not only did they get better grades on their writing, they began to enjoy doing it.
