Hello, from sunny Los Angels, California!

I grew up in Southern California, and I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a teacher. I started out teaching at the elementary level, but I soon realized that I wanted to teach adults, so I went back to school to get my Master's in English and a doctorate in Education. I’ve taught at various colleges in the United States including USC (Fight On ✌️), and I’ve also worked for ETS reading and scoring GRE essays.

My specialty is writing, grammar, and reading, and I can help you improve your English skills by elevating your vocabulary and correcting your sentence structure so that you sound more like a native English speaker!

I look forward to meeting you, and if you connect with me via Zoom, you might be able to see my cat Hoggy!
