NEW STUDENTS:
For new students who don’t have specific goals, I generally will assign various writing topics at the beginning as homework, which we will go over together. From this, we can identify particular goals that are most appropriate for your situation and figure out a study plan of grammar points, practice assignments, etc that will help you improve your fluency in English.

REGULAR STUDENTS:
For regular students or new students who come with very specific grammar goals, we will dive deeper into improving your language knowledge with grammar-focused classes that are based on some of the key points we have identified together through your writing practice. The skills you will learn in this course will help you with speaking as well.

In this class, we can discuss any topic that you would like! You are also welcome to ask me any questions about English that you would like. We can have an informal conversation or we can focus on any particular topics that interest you.

Do you have questions about English that only an English teacher can help you with? Do you need assistance writing an email or revising an essay? Are there words or grammar structures in English that you are just struggling to understand? Or, do you just want to practice conversation? In this class, I can help you with whatever tasks you need help with.

Please note that I do not prepare materials for this class or assign homework. If you would like prepared materials or to have homework, please sign up for an Intensive Course.

Please note that this is an OFFLINE class. There is no video meeting component to this class. Before the class start time you will send me a file containing your writing. Before the end of the class time I will return back to you a corrected version of your writing with feedback.

Submit to me any piece of writing you need grammar corrections done for and I can provide edits and feedback. Writing corrections are charged based on length of time spent editing since writing done by more advanced students is quicker to correct than writing done by beginner students. You can submit writing of any topic for revisions.

If time allows, after I am done with providing your writing corrections, I will also provide you some additional information, insight, and/or additional grammar exercises regarding any of the grammar points that you may have found difficult. 

VERY IMPORTANT:
You MUST send your writing to be corrected at or before the beginning of the class start time. I will send to you the completed writing corrections at the class end time. 

Refunds will not be provided for late writing submissions or class cancellations less than 24 hours in advance since the time cannot be reserved by other students (the usual italki cancellation policy applies).

If you do not submit writing to me for this class, I will be available during the class time for informal conversation practice in English.

The International Association of Hyperpolyglots (HYPIA) is an international body representing the unique and growing population of hyperpolyglots worldwide. We adhere to the definition of Hyperpolyglots as preferred by the general consensus to mean “a person who is fluent in six or more languages.”  However, we expand our association to include persons who are conversant in eight or more languages. Although small, our association boasts some of the most talented emerging linguists worldwide.

Six semesters at Brandeis University, containing coursework towards my physics major, math major, and secondary education minor. I also took Chinese courses every semester.

This job gave me direct experience preparing and instructing lessons in a group class format to ages 14-17. I learned a ton about how to effectively format lessons to students who are struggling with acquiring new content and differentiating lesson structure to meet the needs of a wide variety of levels.

I have worked as an at-home one-on-one tutor for the past three years where I help students who are struggling with their classes, or are homeschooled, or need help preparing for an upcoming standardized exam. This experience has taught me a lot about how to meet students at their specific needs and tailor lessons based on what students find most difficult and what students could use the best practice on. It also has given me practice on how to properly pace for and assess student understanding.
