Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing
English language and literature are passions of mine, and my approach to tutoring is to try to inspire the same enthusiasm in pupils. This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key.

I highly recommend Justin J. as a tutor for reading and writing. In just a few sessions with our 4th grader, we have noticed an improvement in his reading and comprehension, interpreting the texts he is reading and inferring information from the text. He has also gained skill and fluency in essay writing and composition. He is more confident about his writing skills. We have noticed that he is a lot more thoughtful in his choice of words when writing, as well as speaking, and his active vocabulary has increased. Justin is very punctual and professional. I think Justin is very creative in his approach to teaching both reading and writing. He is gentle and encouraging. Even though, we had interviewed other tutors which had several teaching certificates, we found that Justin had the best thought out strategy on how to teach reading comprehension and writing to a young student. He is a person who teaches what he loves and it was obvious to us that he would be the best choice for our son. He established a friendly but respectful connection with our son from the very first session and my son's first words about his tutor were, "He is awesome!" After several sessions with Justin, he still thinks so, and so do we.

Justin is very kind, and has been extremely helpful. He gave me useful advice to improve my writing skills, and he showed me the way to go further. We also worked on my spoken English and I've been learning a lot.
